The beach break was an unexpected outing for me. I dropped Maria off for a beach clean-up with Japanese National Honor Society. Bucket. Extension grabber. Gloves. Flip flops. I figured on driving home,
to ignore laundry, and lose track of time, until she called for a pick-up! But on my way out a parking space opened up, a spot too good to pass up. So, I went for it! And walked up and down Moonlight,
observing birds, turning stones, rescuing a bee, watching surfers, and just generally breathing easy, smiling, feeling good.
There were a few groups out, cleaning up, and knowing that this is something our community does feels good, too.
I love that your community does cleanup! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteTime well spent. Lovely photos - makes me homesick for "my" beach. Funny to see the differences and similarities between the two. I think I have a bird footprint photo almost identical to yours! X
ReplyDeleteIt's great that karma gave you a parking space so that you could take all the beautiful Moonlight Beach pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a nice thing, those beach clean-ups, and I am sad to say... much needed! I am a bit shocked at what beach goers will leave behind, from toys to pure rubbish. It's really disappointing. But "look for the helpers;" I like to remember that anecdote from Fred Rogers.
ReplyDeleteAmelia, maybe someday you and I will visit each other's beaches! I like to imagine shared adventures with the friends I make here!
ReplyDeleteYes. I imagine we'd enjoy that rather a lot! X
DeleteWasn't I lucky? I should probably try my parking luck more often, because these little outings are really uplifting!
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful photos, Natalie! Your selfie was an instant add to our digital frame. You are loved!!
