Sea Isle Beachhouse - August 3rd, 2017
Rainclouds hide the sunrise on a rainy Thursday morning
At least one rainy day at the beach makes for a relaxing trip
Check out the surroundings from the upper deck
The bayside sunset zone is still waking up beyond the tower
Wheel chair ramp and stairway bookend Nena's master bedroom
Covered patio for surf watching and sliding door into the main room
View of enclosed shower with natural gas tank for neighboring house
View of dunes looking toward public beach acess
Kathy and Jerry enjoy the surf up close on a cloudy day
Finally gave up fishing and now feeding bait to the seagulls
Seagull swoops in for an air-to-air strike
You got to be quick to get a bite with this crowd
Claw marks and beak indention indicate where shrimp briefly lay
Poor grackle reminisces of easier pickings at a college campus
Eastward view of the Sea Isle surf
Westward view of the Sea Isle surf . . . so peaceful
Zoom in on a pretty bloom on the walk back to the beachhouse
Finally remember all the corn I brought to be enjoyed with a martini
The girls like their corn with melted cheese dribbled on it
Who knew that a block a velveta would only go so far?
After fueling up, it is back to the beach
Erin celebrates another fun family vacation week
The neighbors take their ocean kayak out for a paddle, . . . sorry Cujo, no room for you
Margo strolls the beach looking for shells
Erin found a bunch with little hermit crabs living inside
Margo checks out the twenty plus hermit crabs collected thus far
Erin brings her latest find back to the collection buckets
David takes his waterproof GearPro camera out to waist deep water, but alas, no waves for action shots
Jerry and Nena watch as Erin as she releases her hermit crab collection
The quickly burrow into the sand while Nena and Alex watch
Time to head in for some lunch, bring the foot wash bucket back
A view worth remembering until our next visit back
David opens an early birthday gift picked out by the girls
Picked out while staying with Nena the last two weeks
It is a burnt orange Chuy's rose bowl shirt that fits, XL
I needed a new shirt for the upcoming football season, Thanks!
Our final sunset stroll along the beach rewards us great shots
Find many sunset angles between the beachhouses along the way
The last evening is the best with multiple sunset photo opportunities!
Erin loves the hermit crab finding opportunities as well
Catch the sun as it dissolves among the clouds right at the horizon
The upper clouds light up and the beachhouses are silhouetted in darkness
The sky and clouds briefly light up with orange and purple hues
Sunrise and sunset, the two best times to be at the beach
Capture the long cloud stretching out above the long line of beachhouses
A three quarter moon appears in the southern sky above the surf
Can't get enought shots of the contrasting colors of the setting sun
Our final sunset beachwalk was extra special with the rain clouds finally gone after two days
The water tower beckons us back before it gets too dark
As Frank Costanza would say . . . "serenity now!"
