A Day at the Beach by taffy

A Day at the Beach

What a difference a thousand miles makes! Instead of frigid weather, ice, snow, more snow, more ice, cold, etc....This is the beach where we are visiting with friends who have rented a house on the Atlantic coast of Florida, almost touching Georgia. It's quite stunning and, as you can see, pristine and pretty empty this time of year. The pier in the distance is about 3/4 of a mile walk. I'm hoping to take an 'under the pier' shot sometime this weekend -- one of my bucket list items.
Thank you for your wonderful response to the two shots I took on my way home last night, of the river and the subway! I'm excited to have something new to post for the next few days, though.
Have a good weekend all!
PS -- it's soooo nice not being cold!
