Beachy Colors And Textures...


A Handful of Baby Clams...
beautiful beachy colors and textures.

If you place these tiny creatures on wet sand, they will, (quick as a wink), 
dig themselves into the sand for protection.

I have just returned from a week at Ocean City, New Jersey, with my family.  
Pure heaven !
(Think - big family, lots of food - all of this, a block off the beach.)



Seaweed that has washed up on the shore.

I am drawn to colors and textures wherever I go.



This Beauty had so many shades of green...   I couldn't resist taking a picture.

(The minute I saw this snake, I began dreaming of wool colors !  
Am I the only one that thinks this way ??)

We spent a day at the Cape May Zoo, in New Jersey.  
It is an amazing Zoo with free admission.
(They ask for a donation as you enter the park.)
The Zoo is huge and well kept. 




Love working with the plates on a Turtles shell.






Perfect textures.  All these patterns, lined up so nicely !





Vacation...
 slow pace, good food, lazy days, NO computer, 
walks on the beach, family games, 
boardwalk fudge with my coffee (every morning !), 
cooked breakfasts, no alarm clock,
flying kites, cool ocean breezes

Now, back to real life...

It is always good to be back home and fall into a regular routine ;)
Looking forward to the week ahead.
