People watching on the beach...

I'd like to give a few shout-outs to complete strangers. Although they may be strangers, these individuals who made "people watching" on the beach this weekend just that much more interesting. How I love the smell and sounds of the beach. And, of course, the sights of the beach too!

1. Props to the lady who was wearing a souvenir sombrero on the beach. Straw hats, baseball caps, sun visors. They are all commonly worn by beach goers. But, a true SOMBRERO!? You don't see that everyday. I love hats of all shapes and sizes....so PROPS to the sombrero! Hey, it does it's job, right?!?



2. To the two little girls in their polka dots and frills who were playing by the ocean shore and who couldn't have been more happy (or cute!)

3. To the man in the kayak who was having a rough time getting out to sea. It wasn't his fault though. The waves were breaking right on him every time. But he stuck it out like a true fighter. Then he bore down and showed those waves who were boss! Props to those individuals who dare to swim/kayak against the current!

4. To the most popular man on the beach...Mr. Ice Cream Man. Oh, the sweet sound of your cow bells signaling your arrival to all beach goers (adults included)! What a "sweet" sound. But, what's this? Do i hear the bells a-ringing at 10:30 a.m.? Is the ice cream man onto something here? Cereal and ice cream?? Mmm...sounds kinda delicious.

5. Last but not least...To the small black and white bird (see below for a picture from his photo shoot) who absolutely would NOT share the oyster that washed ashore with any of his black and white feathery friends. He was willing to fight for his food! Can we say, "survival of the fittest?" But uh oh. Here comes Mr. "I'm Bigger Than You" Seagull. Mr. I"m Bigger than you didn't even need to fight for HIS food. Can we say, "food chain!" Mr. Black and White Bird wasn't so confident anymore. A humbling experience indeed.
