The Tumbleweeds and the Beach

More than a week has passed since I've blogged, and the tumbling-tumbleweeds blowing around my blog show the neglect, and dust-bunnies blowing through the house show neglect there as well.

The past week was a full one that began with my trip to my nephew's wedding. With a few hours before the wedding, I did manage to squeeze in a sunrise walk on Virginia Beach.
Mornings on the beach are much different than during the day when the crowds are there.
It's peaceful and serene with only the sound of the birds as they fly past and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.  I'll admit that I'm not one to go barefoot, but who doesn't love that feeling of the grainy sand against your feet as you walk across the beach?
Sunrise on the beach is a special time and I've a feeling that the lady below agrees with that.
I think that when given the chance everyone should experience it at least once. 
All too soon, and before I realized it, the crowds of people began to arrive, and it was time to leave and get ready for the wedding.  

In my next post I'll tell you about the wedding that took place in "Isle of Wight County" at the historic St Luke's Church, which is the oldest church of English origin in America.
THANKS for stopping by, I've missed visiting with you!  ...And you didn't think I'd not post at least one photo of a dog (Josh) ....
Or of Todd, did you?

  7. Beaches are always best viewed alone or with family and friends only. Sunrises and sunsets are nice they are usually the coolest of the day.
    Thanks for taking us with you, Kim. It looked lovely. ♥

  9. A quiet walk along the beach in the morning or evening is fantastic. The only way SHE enjoys the beach anyway. Hope your batteries have been charged sufficiently.
