Hello,
We managed a couple over overnight trips while in Florida, on this trip we were near St. Augustine, Crescent Beach and Flagler beaches all on Florida's East coast. I captured some sunrises, lots of shorebirds and beach scenes during our visit.
Happy Earth Day!
Brown Pelican flying low over the ocean.
A pretty Collie dog seen on the beach.
Coquina rock formations.
Lots of Black Skimmers.
A huge flock of gulls and black skimmers on the beach at Matanzas Inlet.
Video of shorebirds at Matanzas Inlet, Florida.
" Wake up each day and be thankful for life."
My list of thankful things:
I am thankful for each sunrise and for each and every day.
I am thankful for friendly dogs.
I am thankful for a long walk on a beach.
Thank you for your visit and comments on my post. Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!
Thanks to Michelle for the meme Thankful Thursday

ReplyDeleteHey Eileen!!
ReplyDeleteYou should have yelled real loud!!!
I was at "home", St.Augustine last week. We are staying in a condo on St. Augustine Beach while we rebuild Mom's house that was flooded during Hurricane Matthew!!
Love morning walks on the beach!!! Did you notice all the Man of wars / jelly fish, washing up on the beach??? The beach down at Marine Land, Flagler Beach and the Matanzas Inlet is very rocky and is coquina. Further north the beach becomes sandy!!
We are now driving every other week to and from Marietta, Ga and St. Augustine!! Mom won't leave St. Augustine so she is now at BayView over in town.
You diffidently captured the lovely sunrises!!
Happy travels!!
Heipsan...
ReplyDeletelovely beach, and so many Black Skimmers I have never seen.
Beautiful beach -- the East Coast of Florida is quite different from where you were (and where we are).... we've done a few overnight trips and even one boat trip across the state. I enjoyed them but am glad I live on this side. You saw some wonderful birds.
ReplyDeleteWow -gorgeous skies!
ReplyDeleteAn equally beautiful sunset picture (remember, I'm going backwards here!)! I saw a flock of about 9 Brown Pelicans fly extremely close to the waves yesterday... I was thinking perhaps they hope fish will jump into their mouths!?! Hugs!
