Walking in the Sand

Walking in the Sand….at the Beach

When I go to the beach, I think about many things in my past. First of all, I think of "The Beach Boys" and "Jan and Dean". They sung all those beach songs and then there were the beach movies with Annette Funicello, Sandra Dee, and Frankie Avalon. Oh, they were so much fun to watch and when we would go to the beach, we felt like we were part of that lifestyle...how fun to be young. Of course we cannot forget Elvis Presley and Ann Margaret with the Hawaii movies.

So many of us grew up with these memories and later were the re-runs and videos so the younger crowd remembers them too. I liked these movies because the movie always ended nicely in the end, the good guy won and the bad guy lost.

Then my daughter started playing volleyball and we would go and watch her play beach volleyball for fun to strengthen her skills for club. Just going to the beach is fun for everyone; laying in the sun, swimming, bikingplaying in the sand, surfing, eating and shopping.

Of course, now when I go to the beach, I just adore taking pictures so I see the beach in a new light as there are so many birds and not enough time.

One of my favorite things to do at the beach is to take off my shoes, roll up my jeans and walk in the sand. Get my feet wet when the tide comes in and dig my toes into the sand.

Walking in the sand is so much fun and remembering all those great memories as well.www.KristinHamiltonBlog.com

Beautiful pics of walking on the beach, Kristin!  Those gulls are making me REALLY wish spring/summer would arrive...I miss putting my toes in the sand (although here in rainy BC, I think we all have webbed feet!)  :-)

Hi Karen,

I am glad to hear others miss putting their toes in the sand during the winter time. The beach is such a fun place to go visit. I used to want to move there but I think it would take all the fun out of visiting. If you saw the same sites everyday, it might get dull. But they sure have a lot of birds and my camera is always hopping and clicking there.

Those are really fortunate birds, Kristen.  Just think, they can fly free, without going through airport security.  They can go barefoot without shoes, and they can call any tree branch lodging for the night.  And they don't need to pay taxes.

Hi John,

 I agree and that is my favorite. I usually get them with the wings down but my new camera is quicker and I can take multiple shots and get action photos. I adore going to the beach.

Hi Myrl,

You are so right. I especially hate paying taxes and those quarterly payments are such a drag to write and mail in. Birds have a lot of freedom but are exposed to harsh weather and drought too. We have it pretty good and we can drive a car but it might be fun to flap our arms and fly through the air.

Hi Ann,

Thanks for stopping. I am going to try to get there this weekend since it is warm right now. I have no doubt we will have more cold spells before the spring.

Kristin, I agreed with Myrl, her comment is so true. While flying they are exercising their bodies also.

Hi Steve,

Thanks, I really like birds so I try to get a good shot of each bird. It takes patience and following them around sometimes. I am sure observers wonder what I am dong sometimes. Anything for the perfect photo!

Hi Kwee,

Yes, it would be nice to be as free as a bird, to fly above the ground and have a lot of freedom and no taxes as well. Thanks for stopping and have a lovely weekend.

Thanks, Kristin.  Thanks for sharing your photographs.  They brought back memories for me.  Dolores and I lived on the ocean front in Virginia Beach for many years before moving to Maryland.  We miss the beach.

Have an outstanding weekend.

I love the beach!  I live about 10 miles from Long Beach Island, and from Labor Day til Memorial Day go at least once a week...summertime?  Too much traffic!  Great photos, and memories!

Hi Laura,

The beach is so fun and relaxing but traffic is overwhelming in the summertime. I live 50 miles from the beach and the freeway traffic is stop and go on the I-91 7 days a week. Glad you like my pictures.
