What a glorious morning at the Beach.
Packed the two boy dogs in the car..
and cruised on down to the water.
You're not making fun of his sweater, now are ya?
He lost it soon after.
The sky was incredible...
And something odd was discovered...
Red sand all the way down at the far end, near the southernmost Jetty....
I have no idea what it is, some sort of mineral?
Ben made a new friend.. we'll call him Fabio.
Fabio with his Dad...
Heading back down the beach, I found some treasures... shells you don't find here
when summer people arrive.
Rudy bound around the beach with pure joy, barking at the waves, jumping in and out of the foam...
if only we could all let ourselves go, exactly like that...
Heading back to the Jeep, we deposited a bucket of shells and
about five pounds of sand all over the interior.
She is now broken in :-)
My kind of day.
love, love, love your two pups! so different, but both so full of love and glee! :)
ReplyDeleteKaren- What a great looking day! I love looking at your dogs..what a contrast to each other- the long and short of it.
ReplyDeleteThere is something peaceful and soothing even on a wintery day at the beach, isn't there? Enjoy the rest of your day- xo Diana
The pups are such extremes! They're adorable and look like they had a great time roaming the beach.
ReplyDeleteThe conch shell with the barnacles on it is such a cool find!
Love the photo of Fabio and your dog -- not sure what this thing is! :) Great photos of a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteExcellent adventure for all of you!!! I love the photos but especially those of Rudy and his unbridled joy. What a perfect day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day you all had. Don't you just love it when all the summer people are gone? So peaceful and calm. Great days!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous. I wish I could just hop in the car and go to the beach! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteAhh... warm weather! I completely understand how the sea is a draw. It soothes the mind and body.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous... and that funny sweater is well... who made it?
I really like pics #7, 16, 18 and 21.
Glad you all had fine weather.
Thank you for taking me along, through photos! I have enjoyed the trip!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen the sea or been on a beach... but those pictures of the shells and of the dogs enjoying their day were great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shells! How lucky that you are having nice enough weather to hit the beach!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time. Ben is so big just a gorgeous animal. I hope you have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteFabio? Perfect name! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day, the beach is beautiful in the winter. That first photo of Fabio made me laugh out loud, the way his hair is hanging in his face.
ReplyDeleteI love the beach in any season. Your dogs must of had a good nap when they got home. The ocean is always a good time.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely day! Beautiful pictures, such wonderful "finds" for the day. I too love looking at your dogs. I really get a kick out of seeing them together. Little Rudy is so cute in the water. Fabio!!!! You thought of the perfect name. Great day was had by all.
ReplyDeleteI be so envious, beach and dogs. And no summer folk. Wonderful, thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteOh, I miss the beach so much! It looks like a simply heavenly day! Great photos.

What a wonderful thing to live so close to the beach and be able to take a walk on a near deserted beach. Joni
ReplyDeleteGuess where I am heading tomorrow? The beach. You have inspired me! I better enjoy it as much as I can before we head to the frozen tundra!
ReplyDeleteIs Rudy your daughter's dog? I don't know how I missed that...thought you just had Bailey and Ben. I love days at the beach like that! Especially when there is no one else around! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteGreat dog pictures, great shell pictures! It looks like a perfect day. I love the sweater--sorry it got lost. I love Fabio too!
ReplyDeletePam
Aww - Thanks for showing me what my private beach looks like right now - the red sand beach? I live there in the summer! My fav place where barely a soul goes. Can't wait to bake again to get this chill out of my bones! Fabio? Is that a dog? Haaa. Looks like some mythical creature from a story book...
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have the coastline right down the road. I bet the dogs love to take a romp along the sand. It did look like a perfect day. Love his bright coat. Oh yes, beach sand in the car - Ugh! That's the ONLY bad thing about an outing to the beach.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it was a sweet day for all! That little Rudy is a ticket! Gotta love all that sand in the new ride, eh?
ReplyDeleteMini and Maxi went to the beach...
ReplyDelete;-)
Ben looks at Fabio as if he doesn't really believe there's a dog behind those curtains. Sweet!
Looks wonderful. Chelsea would love to run along the shore. I hope some day to take her to the Outer Banks. (My son is in Raleigh, daughter in MD.- it would be a good in-between.) Looks like you had a lovely time.
ReplyDeletexo, Cheryl
I'm not kidding, I laughed straight out loud when I saw your pooch with Fabio. That was awesome.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always so fantastic?
And what the heck is a Jetty? ;)
Your daughter is just as beautiful as you are. What a fantastic memory day.
That beach . . . please tell me you guys grabbed that awesome shell with the imbedded shells (I'm certain there's a real name for it - doofus here). I know you guys did.
ReplyDeletePerfect day!
