Red, White and Blue at the Beach




The causeway to Robert Moses beach.



The first Monday of the school holidays.




So many important things to do.



Or to think about doing.



Important to keep the sea at bay.



And eat a lunch much frowned upon indoors.



Even the parking lot feels like summer.
At last.

    These photographs truly capture the feeling of summer at the beach! Even the lunch!

    Re: your comment on my book post... I am absolutely loving Behind the Scenes at the Museum. Such a great writer she is. And yes, you should try to finish Jonathan Strange, although I realize it might be too "strange" for some tastes, I really got caught up in it.

    Have a wonderful Monday and hugs to Buster!

    We felt a sense of solidarity recently with your excellent cloud and storm shots. Can you help us maintain the feeling of unity by sending some of that sunshine 630 miles north?

    Your second shot is stunning! It could be a painting. Love it. And I love-love ketchup, too. I could eat it on anything.

    Lovely, familiar looking sight for sore eyes currently blocked from posting! What vision Robert Moses had and, I suppose, money. Great shots!

    Oh so beautiful!

    These are the things I miss here,
    no beach near enough. The Atlantic so far far away.

    Something about the red,white and blue in the last shot makes me think of France more than the U.S.A. But then, I'd usually rather thank about France than the U.S.A.

    Perhaps you should have saved this one for the 4th! Such crisp colours. There is no point to heat if you don't have an ocean, I'm thinking.

    I really loved the splashes of red, E.
