Hanging on to my hat …

With a strong, but warm wind coming from the south, this mornings Crescent Beach wander was once again wonderful. Due to the conditions, while sitting on my usual rock,  I had to carefully hang onto my hat.

Non-paying guests …

We may have the best fed birds in Pleasantville. They are always close by waiting with much anticipation for the sound of the door, then word quickly spreads and it begins ….

On this absolutely beautiful day, with very warm temperatures, slight wind and bright blue sky, I was out for a glorious wander on Rissers Beach. The conditions were so perfect there was a bunch of young kids swimming and enjoying the waves ~ no photos of them …!!!
