afternoon at the shore

Monday we went to visit my cousin, who lives a five-minute walk from the ocean.  It was a sparkling day with a steady breeze blowing salty air.

After visiting a while over a delicious lunch, my brother and I took a walk down to the water and around and about.

this is where seagulls belong, not in parking lots, poor things

what's holding up that cloud?

 what Van Gogh could have done with this scene!

I have a thing about long grasses near a water's edge - don't know where it comes from
