A beautiful start to the day.

very simple ,very effective Great shot ********************* Mald

Mald,

Thank you so very much! I'm very glad that you enjoyed this happy beach shot! :)

I was very excited for the beautiful day, and this was just the beginning.

Greetings to you, Mary Alice

Blue skies, boats, empty beach, what more could you ask for :~))

Lovely shot Mary Alice,

Séan.

Sean,

I assure you, I could ask for nothing more! :) I was the happiest I've been in so very very long here! I was grateful and overjoyed, and that's putting it mildly.

Thank you so much for your happy visit to the beach!

Mary Alice

You really surprised me with these comments Mary Alice, I thought you were a country girl first and foremost :~)

You are really going to have to learn to swim now: looking at the sea is great, sailing on it brilliant fun, but swimming in it caps the lot.

Best Regards,

Séan.

PS Want to borrow my waterwings??

Waterwings? Oh Sean, that sounds like fun! :) I'd Love to borrow your waterwings!

No, seriously, I had a brightly colored intertube and I was popping around all out there in that ocean, even riding the big waves in! :) You would have been proud of me! I may not can swim, but I assure you, it doesn't keep me from playing in the ocean! :)

I hope you're enjoying your day!

Very best regards,

Mary Alice

I could have used your innertube earlier Mary Alice :~) we are having the most unseasonal weather at the moment, thunderstorms and heavy rain with no end in sight.

I am proud of you!! Takes courage to go in the ocean not being able to swim: enjoy but be safe.

Very Best Regards from a washed out County Down,

Séan.

Sean,

I am so sorry to hear that you are getting rained out over there. I don't suppose you can play much golf in the rain, eh? :( Maybe it will go away before the weekend.

Thank you for your kind and supportive words on my ocean experience! I miss no chance to play in the waves! It is seldom that I get to go to the coast, so I have to exhaust any and all opportunities while I am there! :)

I hope this evening finds you well, and I hope that your thunderstorms will slack down soon.

Warm regards,

Mary Alice

Spectacular white white sand. A very appealing sight to wake up to, Mary Alice. I like your almost mid-level horizon. And is that a bird on top of the mast, ready to set sail? Most picturesque! -alicia

Of course, YOU are the first to notice that sweet little bird up there, Alicia! I was wondering who would notice it first! I should have known it would be your observant eyes! You see all! =) That's what I love so much about you. Nothing gets past you.

Thank you for your praise and appreciation of this most glorious beach!

I'm so glad that you're Back! =)

Have I mentioned that I've missed you? ;)

Warmest regards,

Mary Alice

hey Mary,

Nice picture and a cute little bird. I stumbled upon this photo because I'm going there tomorrow for 5 days with the family.

Jimmy,

I am SO excited that you're going to Clearwater! It was one of the prettiest beaches that I've ever been to. I wish you and your family a most wonderful time, and I wish that I was going with you!

I'll be thinking of you,

Mary

Greetings, Miroslav!

I'm so happy that you enjoyed this refreshing beach! I couldn't agree with you more ..... I couldn't ask for another thing! Hands down, the beach is one of my very favorite places to be.
