DECEMBER BEACH WALK, et al

 

Looking out from beneath the railroad tunnel onto our beach....

Brilliant sunshine blinds me, but my little phone camera
captures the view beautifully anyway....
serendipity...;))))

Storms have washed a lot of seaweed up on the
shoreline in long curved swathes...

In the distance you can just make out
geese swimming while honking loudly.

We haven't been down here all Summer long; 
in fact it's been way too long....

This walk in requires that my back is 
in good shape; a friend tells me that just
beside the tunnel is a bench for
sitting; and so, I am able to make
the trek....

I walk the shore once with Tom and then sit
gazing out to sea and smelling that wonderful
salty air while he does his three tours....
The bright sunshine keeps me warm....

There is just something about the ocean
that is so calming....

*********************************
I hung up my JOY banner in
our little entrance hallway
yesterday....
I had such fun putting this together...
I used up most of my mini charms
on it...my morning walk has given
me 
JOY...

My Grand-mere crocheted the lace
across the  top and 
I collected the 
driftwood and shells...

The reverse fabric is an old fashioned winter
scene that reminds us of old 
Currier and Ives prints.  
I will turn it over for the days after
Christmas until the first 
daffodils emerge in the Spring..

I hope JOY has visited you today...
Hugs, 
Julierose,
