Last morning at the beach, so Snowy and I were out for our walk by 6 am (thank goodness
that's just going off DST).

1. Reminds me how much I loved the beach in the fall. Need to take a trip back, been going to

the mountains too much in recent years.

2. Fall and spring are wonderful at the beach here in NC

This particular beach--Emerald Isle--faces south. So in the summer the sun doesn't rise over the ocean because
it's so much farther north it's over land.

Temps were mostly in the 70's while I was there. Some mornings I walked barefoot it was so warm!

3. When a kid - long time ago - we'd go to Topsail beach. I especially remember fall trip to Nags Head.

This was back in the early 60s.

4. I saw a story that someone found a Megalodon tooth on the beach at Topsail last week.

6. Magnificent.

I wish I lived closer to the beach. It's at least an hour's drive away, which means driving at ungodly hours to get sunrise/sunset photos, and I can't afford to spend a few days there. (I think this is known as a first world complaint.)

10. This particular beach is a 3 1/2 hour drive for me...so I only go when we're taking vacation

at the beach.

7. I love the beach more

I love the way it looks,
I love the way it smells
I love the way the sand feels
I love the way the water feels
I love the water calm, I love the water all roiling.
I love the beachy restaurants
I loved my little trailer at the beach (r.i.p.)
I love the strangers at the beach
I loved taking my dog to the beach to walk in the water, to walk in the sand.
I love rainy days at the beach
I live sunny days at the beach
I love all 4 seasons at the beach.

8. Beautiful sunrise and nice captures.

I'm a beach fan, too.

One of the things I really love about where I live is we have beach and mountains right together. Best of both worlds.
