Beach Evening


 

Surfers in the Waves

Chris and I made a return to our favorite beach the other evening. Although the day was hot, the evening at the beach was perfect. We watched storms move just to the north of us and enjoyed the surfers catching waves.

It had been a while since we had managed to visit the beach because of fairly regular afternoon thunderstorms. It was nice to have a break in the action to allow us to meet with friends and enjoy Happy Hour together on the beach.

Of course it was also nice to be on the beach and out of the truck. We drove a lot during the past couple weeks while we visited Maryland, New York, and Georgia. I wish that I had kept track of the mileage, but I am sure we topped 1500 miles. 

As I wrote previously, it is good to be home in Florida. The ocean remains warm and the temperatures continue in the low 90s and high 80s. It is perfect beach weather, except for the passing storms. 

I was happy to have my newly received smart glasses available to take images of the scene I was enjoying. I did, however, image the osprey with its catch on my iPhone. We were privileged to see two osprey dive within a short time of each other. Both were successful in their efforts.
