One of my favorite places

I love the beach! This picture (left)was actually taken this past winter. I think it was about 30 degrees out the day I took this picture. We are so fortunate that we live so close to the ocean. The smell of that salt air is priceless (great for the lungs). It is one of the few things that gets me through the harsh new england winters.
Today, after a great church service, Jim and I decided to go to a special place that we have been going for a while now where you can get pretty close to seals. If you time it right with a low tide and bright sun, the seals sunbath on a little island right off the shore. We always bring our binoculars and I've brought my camera a few times. I could spend hours just watching them! They tend to bark like dogs sometimes too. It is just amazing to think that God created every single living creature, great and small!
I'm looking forward to taking lots of pictures this winter.
