More of a walk along the beach and a new Farmers' Market!! {Part 1 of 7}

Here are some more pictures of a walk on the beach. I love how warm the water is! And how soothing for the soul the walk is.

Can you tell that I love the hermit crabs? They tickle me beyond belief. They have gatherings (shoots the hermit theory doesn't it?) and can scoot around like crazy. I especially love the ones in the old crusty conch shells that have barnacles. And I covet the ones that have the beautiful shells that would look simply marvelous on my window sill. How does one convince a hermit crab to vacate their shell for another?

These trees apparently have taken a hard hit from past hurricanes and just general weather from the Sound. But they are beautiful in their starkness.

A walk

One of the most completely, simply, totally awesome things about where we live now, is in the mornings I can get up, put on my clothes (forget the shoes) stroll out of my garage right onto the beach...and then walk. Not only is it a sweet private beach, but about 1/4 mile up the beach is the Gulf Islands National Seashore. It is completely undeveloped and wild. Quiet and beautiful.

Anyway, these are photos from one of those walks.
