At the risk of jinxing it, Sunday dawned cloudless, sunny and warm. It was just what I needed to pull me out of my winter blues.
I headed to the beach and was welcomed with wide open sand and calming ocean breezes. The rest of the week promises to be as beautiful.
This weekend’s photo hike was at Gulf Island National Seashore near Navarre Beach, FL. The recent rain washed up a few shells, and other treasures from sea.

I loved looking at the pictures you were posting yesterday, I could smell the fresh sea air fill my lungs. Hoping you had a lovely hike.

You cleared up my winter blues. We are a long way from seeing our beach like that.

Beautiful. When I visited my brother in NZ, much to my sister in law’s amusement I took loads of pictures of their beaches. I picked up a piece of driftwood that was so intricate, it looked like it was made of lace.
