Shore Enough? For Some Here on NT, They Can Never Get Enough!
I'll take the beach after September when there are usually no bathers … and the Striped Bass, Bluefish and Weakfish (Sea Trout) are often feeding just close enough in to reach them with a surf rod …
… but that's just me; for most of the rest …
Let me know when I've saturated you with too many scenes like this one. (© A. Mac/A.G.)

Don't grow up too quickly? Well, I can't stop the aging process, but, I can always act immature.
For some reason, I hear a lot of … "Are you behavin' yourself?"
My stock response … "Hell, yeah, but watch out when I get to assisted living."
That creates a bit of perspective to those preoccupied with my being a "good boy."
Enjoy the sun, surf and sand.*
*Too many humans for my taste.
Me, I love it when they tell me to go fly a kite, I do exactly that. We have a beach here in Washington, at Greyland, quarter mile wide smooth hard sand. Ten to 15 knot steady wind most of the time.
Perfect for flying the big ones.
When I get particularly down, I take my 16 footer out for a sail. (sometimes I even add a tail to it)
Few people and the power of nature, what could be better!
A SHORE pleaser.
Shore Nuf,
Landing a little tail is always a pleaser...
Landing a little tail is always a pleaser...
In the same way that big cats are dangerous while a little pussy never hurt anyone.
I always had trouble keeping my kite up in the air but they were beautiful to watch. Graceful but resilient against the wind.
"too many humans for my taste". My first impression, exactly!
Makes me miss the beaches at Venice and Santa Monica. Nicely done!
Thanks Randy … got a lot more … quite a few restorations among them … Jersey Shore from 1895 -- 1915!
I spent many many summers at the Jersey shore. Mostly in Surf City.

Cerenkov,
Here's an old photo I restored from a Magic Lantern slide …
Surf City, NJ , c.1900 … the name was changed from "Long Beach City" in 1894!
Some "city," huh?
Surf City is Huntington Beach, California. Jus Sayin'

Randy,
I don't know how to tell you this, but,
Mac,
Now you will just have to get a shot of that place during the Winter, just to be able to conclusively prove to everyone that it actually DOES snow in Hollywood.

Heading over there now with my camera; I don't want to miss it if it starts to snow.
it's 80 degrees here … but what the heck.
You can never tell, it might. While you're getting the shots of that snow, you could also duck down to Hell and get some shots of the snow there. Sounds like the chances are about the same in each place.
Dang, we don't have a smiley with snow coming down around him.
By the way Mac, it really does snow in Hell. Hell, Michigan, a small unincorporated community not far NE of Jackson and close to Ann Arbor.
I love black and white photos. There's just something about them that I'm drawn to.
I almost forgot what I'm missing - have not been to a beach for decades.

Then I will shore up your memory with more pix.
What fun! A sight for sore eyes, as they say here... Renews my spirit!
I think, not sure, but I think some of the trees are budding out here in Owensboro. Can't be sure because it is night and I don't see well at night... But if so, that is wonderful news!
I can almost hear the seagulls ...
Talofa lava (greetings) from da rock. Tisa's Barefoot Bar, Alega Beach, Pago Pago Samoa.

Just for you Mac, some music from da rock.
It rocks, Kavika!
Thank you.

Let's turn up the volume, Petey …
Say "hello" to Petey.
Beautiful
Are we still in a "Seashore" frame-of-mind … if so, I have many more such pix.
