To The Beach

Today was a gorgeous day. We started out with 52°, 93% humidity, calm winds and fair skies. Unfortunately, the calm winds weren't so calm and,
well, a long awaited, and now third time cancelled, balloon ride didn't happen. So, Baby Sis took me and her to the beach. 
Thanks, Baby Sis.

We found a swing and sat for a little while.

The view from the swing was beautiful.

The waves were also beautiful,

and the color of jade.

We saw Gulls

Plovers

Bumblebees

Squirrels

An, as of yet, unidentified bird
(Update: I love Google. Eastern Wood Pewee!)
(An update to the update: I've proofread the text and examined the photos of this post at least half a dozen times, finding an unacceptable error each time, and I never saw the insect flying above the branches! Well,  until now :)

A Bluejay (he truly is in that tangle of branches)


The same BlueJay is hiding in this next picture.
Can you find him?

There was also a beautiful daytime moon to see.

Ducks

Beach art (bonfires are prohibited)

A Lobster Buoy (briefly mistaken for a seal)

A rather interesting piece of driftwood.
Is it a serpent or,

a dog hiking its leg?

We saw a rather large painted rock holding a bunch of balloons.
Lizard, frog, turtle maybe?

But before we saw any of this, a Crow said hello while we were at the gas station.

As did a couple of turkeys as we headed to the beach.

Sis, thanks once again for one of the best photography adventures I have ever been on!
Now, if I had just gotten a picture of the two deer that ran across the road on the way back...
