Continuing on with the randomness that is my life, I’ve decided to share some photos that are near and dear to my heart. Here is my beach:
Well, it’s technically not “my” beach…but I like to think of it that way…just as I like to think of myself as King of the Mountain. Heh. Isn’t it loverly? I enjoy it immensely. And cannot (I repeat, cannot) wait until I can walk along this beach hand and hand with the one I love. *sigh* (wait, are those lyrics from a song? If not, they should be…gag)
These are my faves. I took them for my dearest, darling Dead Charming…
And some more shots of the beach and the lighthouse (yes! a lighthouse) As a matter of fact, this lighthouse is the very first public building in the United States to be illuminated with natural gas (how about that, a little history lesson thrown in there for you). First, the harbor:
And the lighthouse:
The clouds were magnificent on this day so I had to include a few pictures:
The dogs got to do their favorite thing today (well, Gus’s favorite thing, Ridley’s not too sure about it):
Look at how happy that Gus boy is. He’s smiling! Ridley looks traumatized and just wants to get the hell out. Unfortunately, I missed getting the shot of Ridley panicking and trying to climb up the side of the dock. We had to yank him out of the water, poor thing. I think he just has too much fur and it weighs him down when he’s wet. But, he has webbed feet…he should like to swim, dammit. I also didn’t manage to get a shot of him trying to climb on his brother’s back while swimming. Poor Gus probably feels like one of those kids at the community pool who everyone clings to because they’re a better swimmer. I was sure I was going to have to do some doggie resuscitation, but everyone made it out okay. Phew.
SPLASH!
That’s it for today, kids. I’ll be back with more in a bit.
Two Lazy Dogs 
Loved the pics. It looks so nice and relaxing where you’re at.
Hey bluesuit,
Thanks, it is lovely here…and sometimes I realize I just don’t appreciate it enough.
What gorgeous photos!! And what a lucky lady you are!
Thanks, Girly! I am lucky!
Great photos. I love living near the ocean and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I’m sure your Prince will appreciate the photos.
Thanks, Joan. I couldn’t imagine NOT living near the water. I’d go crazy!
You live in a beautiful place.
The photographs are terrific.
Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, c.
Wow – fantastic photos! These are beautiful. Keep sharing! 🙂
Hi Teeni!
Glad to see you back. I missed you!
Thank you. Oh, I will keep sharing.
Great pics. I’m jealous of your awesome photo taking locations as well as your photo taking skills. Thank you for sharing. Gus definitely looks like he was having a good time. Ridley, not so much. Oh well, can’t please all of the pooches all of the time. 😉
Thanks, Mr. P.
My photo taking skills aren’t up to par…but I’m working on it!
Yes, Gus definitely loves the water. Ridley’s not too sure about it…I believe he thinks he should like it because his brother does. He’s trying, so I’ll give him credit.
Beautiful pics.
Thanks, darlin’.
Eee! Photos! Of Dogs! I miss summer…
I love that picture of the heart shaped rock 🙂
Lots and lots o’ dogs. We’ve had a lovely summer thus far.
Thanks…I’m quite fond of that heart shaped rock as well.
I, as you already know, LOVE all of the pictures; but those two most of all.
I love you, and I can’t wait to walk along your beach together.
Thanks, DC. You know I took them just for you…so that makes them extra special.
I love you. Hoping that walk along the beach together will be soon!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I want to pitch a tent there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Come on over and bring a tent. And after a good night’s rest outdoors we’ll go grab some sushi! Yeah!
left a comment that got blown away.
Oh, well.
Love the pics, love the dogs even more.
I wouldn’t even comment if you had poodles . . .
~m
Aww…sorry. I didn’t blow it away. Hmmm.
Thanks, m. No poodles here. Eek. No how, no way. Labs, Labs, Labs (with a little Border Collie mixed in) all the way.
well you Little Stinker. Make me jealous why dont you? I will stay here on a breathing machine,two ivs and a heart monitor and you make me jealous and go to the beach okay. 😉
Oh, Kaylee…I’m sorry to tease you with the beach pics. You know that if I could I’d come grab you and take you to the beach with me!
How are you feeling? Better, I hope. I’ll check in on you in a bit. {HUGS}
How pretty.
I especially love the heart shaped rock.
Thanks, Red. I do love that rock, too. I’ve started to collect them. I’m amazed at how many heart shaped rocks there are.
These are great shots, I love the beach too . . . I wish I lived closer to it! I loved the inscription in the sand. Signed, Hopeless Romantic! 😉
Hey DDTD, thanks! I couldn’t live anywhere where there wasn’t water. I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by two lakes all of my life and can’t imagine living landlocked. Ugh.
Yep, hopeless romantic…that’s me!
You live in the most beautiful part of the country. I be jealous. Love your dogs too! I love your yellow lab’s expression in the last picture.
Why, thank you. Don’t be jealous…you are more than welcome to come visit any time.
He does have a great expression in that last photo. He’s a great dog – they both are, actually.
I love the photos of the dogs…that is just how mine are, 1 that loves it the other you have to beg her to get in.
Did I hear around that it’s your birthday? If so have a happy one!
Hey cowgal!
Yes, the dogs are funny that way. At least I have one that loves the water. My last dog hated water…she wouldn’t even go near it.
Yes, indeed. It is my birthday…thanks for the birthday wish!!
love the pics! especially the heart in the sand. i’m such a hopeless romantic!!
Thanks, Reg. Hopeless romantics, yes, yes we are.
