Delray Beach- My Favorite  Way to Begin the Day.

This has been a week full of basketball, brackets collapsing and our wonderful beach.

Our ducks along the beach are back (they’ve been back for a few weeks) and I for the life of me have no idea where they’ve been!  

I love to watch the look on the faces of people when they see ducks at the beach for the first time.

toys left at the beach

 

These are just a few of the toys left behind this week.  I wonder if they are missed….. were they left behind because they no longer fit into a child’s plan of play…. or perhaps they were left behind for another child to enjoy.  They look so sad sitting in the sand.. all alone.

Let’s have some fun….

Kathy,

It is so wonderful starting one's day at the beach.  On mild weekends the out of towners are here and it is difficult to find a spot, and I am so happy that so many are enjoying being here.  We got out yesterday, and  we will go tomorrow as they are all heading home.  A

The allure of the beach is never forgotten once a person stands on one.  I read an interesting article once on a couple that collect all the toys and trash that washes up on a beach and do some very expensive art pieces using them elaborately.  Mark

Thanks for sharing your photographs. Have a wonderful weekend.

We took a day trip today and it was snowing as we drove north to Longwood Gardens.

Aloha Kathy,

When you live on the ocean there is something both humbling and inspiring that draws you to it's vast and unfathomable expanse. Power, mystery, and sublime beauty, what a neighbor!

Kathy those are beautiful sunrise pictures.  I am not a morning person, but I would even get up early to enjoy these sunrises.

Alexandra- glad that you got to enjoy your beach.  Don't you find the ocean air refreshing!!

Rob- I'd love to see the photos you'd take of the beach. 

Ginny- you and Janis will have to plan another trip here next year. 

Mark Don- I have my collection of shells and a few little action figures that were left behind.  I would love to see the artwork of the couple that collects the trash and toys. 

Roy- I still can't believe that some of you are having snow now. 

Kimo- you summed it up beautifully! Kimo Stowell 

George- I'm more of a morning person but some of the sunrises are awfully early.

Kathy, 

If you even played the brackets, you did more than me as march madness is just something I lose sleep over.

Kathy, Those toys are probably not missed. We we let people use our condo at the beach they leaves toys and floats and boogie boards thinking someone else can use them. I think there must not be room in the car going home.

What a gorgeous set of photos- and I like the idea that sunrises and sunsets are free- don't miss them! Thanks for starting our day off right.
