A year ago in Daytona. Wish I was there now instead of in NH without power and 7 degree temps with -12 wind chill.

Jim, what makes the rocks "magic"?

My only beach picture. From our Florida trip in 2007. I have posted it more than once before, and here it is again!

Annie, the hard part was choosing one picture. We love living on the ocean.

Unknown newlyweds, Kamakura, Japan

Sanibel sunrise.

Sunset on an Oregon Beach, with a cute pup

Newport, Oregon

Floral, I always enjoy stumbling upon those beach weddings.

Kitty Hawk, NC. I liked the way the receding water so smoothly reflects the sky.

American Camp, San Juan Island, Washington

Bay of Fundy

Those magic rocks have stripes throughout the stone.

When we were on Sanibel, we never saw the sun rise, only the sun set (there might have been a beverage involved when that happened).

@jim_1 (Zone 5B), The early bird gets the worm applies to shelling as well. If you look closely on the horizon, on the left, you’ll see high rises in Fort Meyers. I was surprised Sanibel was that close to the mainland. I’d thought it was further offshore.

Lanzada Beach in Spain:

St. Augustine, Florida

I wanted to share this beautiful beach in Ireland, too. Green right up to the sand!

Taken at Wake Island lagoon about 7 years ago, my last trip. And where I saw the green flash several times.

Today is also Texas Independence Day. I don't have any photos of Texas beaches, but here's one in Mexico:

kathy, I like the photo of your mom. It reminded me of a b&w photo that I have of my gran and mom walking with me on the beach, around 1960.

I've got a lot of beach pictures...
