    and while this pic isn't technically OF a beach, it was taken while were down the shore this weekend.  at one point late afternoon sunday, the sun was coming through the trees in our backyard so prettily that DH and I both grabbed our cameras and went out to see if we could get a good shot.  he won :)   I would add that I saw a certain quality to the picture that he didn't choose to see ... I leave it to each individual to come to their own conclusions!!

    I LOVE all of the pictures recently.

    Here's a few from an impressionist sundown a few nights back.

    May they bring you a sense of calm.

    May they bring you a sense of peace.

    May they bring you encouragement.

    I'm up to my ears in a 're-certification' process for the state of Ohio. They changed the whole process from just two years ago when I resubmitted everything at that point. I had the whole thing written up late this afternoon -- only to have it vanish into thin air, rather than be saved. It is truly a blessing to come to our beach and see such lovely images.

    Thanks beachies.

    Time to start planning our page 600 party.

    Anybody got a great theme?

    OK, I went to the beach, and I was right, I was the only one there except

    for this guy who was just waking up

    so I had the beach to myself...no good photos because it was just gray

    but right nearby there were flowers...

    then I went to the commissary for grocery shopping..

    Love the photos ladies. Lisa you have figured out how to really capture the beauty of the flower.

    I'm beginning to really appreciate gray. To the point that in our new place that is what we are going to paint the walls...a deep gray! We have very colourful art and with crisp white trim I think it will look stunning (if I can say so myself!)

    Lisa.. they're still beautiful! 

    Barbie I think deep gray would be awesome...  When my husband wanted to do our living room in dark browns and blacks I was like "yuck"... but I gave in and it's my favorite room of the house.

    SoCalLisa-grey days at the beach are actually my favorite.

    Barbe-that sounds very beautiful, specially with the splashes of color & white. Nice!

    Lisa, that bird is such a cutie!

    I love gray too.  I should have taken a photo tonight, the day was crisp and dry, blue sky with lots of clouds, some looking like they were going to open up and pour on us but never did.  There was really no sunlight at sunset so everything was tones of different grays -- it was sooo pretty!  And it was so clear you could see for miles.  Montauk, NY (the eastern most tip of long island) is about 18 miles due south of us and I could see the northern cliffs.  Beautiful!

    Congrats Faith, you deserve the accolades for the effort!!!!

    A bit OT, but I am now a Nana! My daughter had an emergency C-section after being induced yesterday and Zachary is 7 lbs 14 oz and all are well. A bit scary at the end but I wasn't told until it was all over, thank God! (I mean, I knew she was induced, but we were all waiting at my sons for the word to move in as she progressed. The news we got after hours of texting all day, was a 3 hour gap of silence and then a picture of her with the baby!)

    How soon are the other babes to make their appearances?

    WOW!! A new baby in the world.

    I know you'll fill your heart with that new-baby smell.
