Seaside shops and a walk on the beach

Each morning on my way to work I drive over a tiny little bridge. In the winter it's gray and plain. 

Come summer it's a different story.

If you haven't started a summer garden yet you don't have to
travel far to get some flowers and herbs.

Pick up some beachy colored ornaments

Have some coffee and meander through a few shops
before peddling to the beach just a little over
two kinda short blocks away.

Sometimes, after work I like to go to the beach by our new (older) home
It's early in the season so just about everyone had headed home.

I found a seagull...

trying to eat this container

and some clam shells someone had rounded up.

 I was pretty much alone with the seagulls and the shells.

Wonderful.

Passing by the lake the sun made the water look golden.

Dozens of swans had gathered to groom themselves.

Beautiful.

Thank you for stopping by.
Enjoy your week.
