… from the beach.
I’m not sure how much I’ll be blogging until we get home, so I thought I’d touch base while waiting for it to warm up enough to get out on the beach.
We got in yesterday … just in time for lunch at one of our favorite little places … I suspect it could might be classified as a “dive”, but let me tell you that if you’re looking for fresh and delicious seafood and don’t mind a no-frills, straight-forward environment, then I know just the place!
As soon as we finished lunch, we checked in at the condo, unpacked and headed straight for the beach. It turned out to be a lovely day … even nicer than the forecast predicted. It wasn’t nice enough for shorts and a sleeveless top, at least not for this cold-natured gal, but I was comfortable in a t-shirt and capris.
No trip to the beach is complete without a photo of the sunrise … and although I debated whether I wanted to get out on the beach, I went ahead, figuring that even as chilly as it was, it was probably going to be the warmest morning we’re here … so I’d better go. And I was rewarded with a gorgeous sunrise … one that my poor photography skills couldn’t do justice. I was out on the beach for approximately 10 minutes and was able to capture the sun in its progression. Normally it’s cloudy out on the ocean, so I don’t get a good view of the sun until it’s pretty high in the sky.
On my short walk out the beach, I startled a young deer in the landscaping around the pool … who knew that deer lived on the beach here in Hilton Head?
It’s going to be another nice day today and tomorrow … then that massive cold front moves in. It won’t be as cold as it is back home, but it’ll be plenty cold enough for me. So we’re planning on taking advantage of the warm weather while it’s here. And when the chillier weather comes in, I’ll just remind myself of what DH always says: a chilly day on the beach is still better than a warm day at home (paraphrased).
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!
Kathy
have fun and glad you will have a couple nice days on the beach
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with your DH...I'd give anything for a few days at the beach, no matter the weather! :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunrise! Enjoy your time and the weather - it is 21 degrees here right now. ;( Have fun! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteI agree with your hubby. I think any day at the beach is a good day. Have wonderful time there and I think that seafood place sounds like my kind of place.
ReplyDeleteSoak all that beauty up!!! It's cold & snowy here... I want to be where you are :)
ReplyDeleteI think your photography skills are pretty good! Thanks for the pics of the beach sunrise. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time away with each other!
Have fun and enjoy the scenery!
ReplyDeleteAhhh--so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWas DH real surprised?
Beautiful sunrise. I agree with DH - just bundle up and enjoy some chilly walks on the beach and then head in for some hot cocoa! ... and some slow stitching!
ReplyDeleteWEll, I think you did a great job capturing the sunrise myself. And, so glad you are back at your favorite place. Enjoy! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteFabulous sunrise! And I agree....any day at a beach is a great day!
ReplyDeleteGreat sunrise pics! Thanks for sharing while we are shivering bsck here. Down to 32 here in Arkansas! Looks like it is going to last a while too! I guess I will get some more applque done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I hope you have a wonderful time. We just came home from Myrtle Beach. We only had just a few days there, but it was gorgeous and I'm thankful for the time we had.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time. I hope he was happy with his gift!
ReplyDeleteHave fun! We are headed to the beach next week and I cannot wait. Sixty will seem like a heat wave!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Kathy, I know I'm late on seeing this post, but got to tell you that your sunrise photos are incredible. When we were in Kauai in August, I got up early enough the first few days to catch the sunrise(due to the time change back home). Sunrises at the beach are always so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope that cold front stays away-but I agree with your hubby. You are blessed to be able to go so often. I still want to head back to HH to enjoy it again. Also those other areas I mentioned once on FB, but can't remember them now.LOL.
Have a great day!
Hugs, Noreen
I guess the chilly weather (cold) is probably there by now. Your sunrise photos are glorious!!!
ReplyDeleteDives are usually the best places to eat!
Have fun and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Your sunrise photos are beautiful! Walking on a beach at sunrise is my favorite thing in the whole world!
