Just me and my footprints.....

Hi there...

Had a bad week this week.

I found out that a friend of mine had passed away,

and his funeral was Tuesday.

I felt very sad last night and this morning

so I decided to take myself off to the beach

 to try and contemplate and recharge.

I have always really loved the beach.

There's something about the water and the waves.

So I headed down to my Favorite haunt.

And it was perfect!!!

I had the place to myself.

Here's a picture of my footprints.

I took great pleasure in splashing the

water as I walking the shore line.

Like the crazy person I am I started to chuckle

cause if there had of been any company

I would have splashed them for sure!!!

I was definitely in the mood for a splash fight!

 Lots of interesting stuff to poke, like seaweed,

lots of shells and a few awesome bits of driftwood.

A cool looking black shell??

 

 Lucky for me, the tide was going out,

so I was able to cross the creek

and walk along the more secluded part.

I had a little look through the sandy mangrove part.

It was a bit creepy....

Eyes alert and open for any snapping handbags!!

  

And there I found the perfect log to perch.

It is a lovely tranquil spot!!

I was sitting there and some movement caught my eye.

Looking up I saw one of my favorite birds!!!!

I think It's an Azure kingfisher!!

And the closer I looked I noticed there were two!

Really hard to see their colors, they were turned away from me.

But, oh well, still pretty to watch.

Eventually I got up and continued my walk.

I did a good job at pestering the little crabs that

make these wonderful tapestries of sand balls along the beach.

Had a bit of a joke with myself!!!!

Couldn't help myself and tried to

take a picture of the glitter in the sand.

I do love some sparkle!!!!!

By the end of it, I felt a little better about everything.

And decided to do a little tribute in the sand for my friend.

May he rest in peace.

So here's my pic of the pic's.

Couldn't decide, so you get two!!!

And now I'm noticing I have that

 "You've been in the sun" glow to my face :)

Ciao for now.
