Watery Wednesday / Carlsbad, California

 

  

Not everyone watched the Super Bowl this past Sunday.

Some of us were at the beach.

And, what a wonderful day it was for being by the water flying a kite...or, just walking and taking pictures.

ABC Wednesday / "D"

 

  

These kinds of scenes disturb me in a very big way.

I watched this for quite some time from the pier.

This little guy was playing in a very dangerous ocean without a close eye on him.

Thankfully, a disastrous situation didn't happen...this time.

That's My World Tuesday / Sea Foam

 

My husband and I went for a long walk, yesterday, along Carlsbad Beach in southern California.  

It was a beautiful day with big puffy clouds in the sky and perfect for beach walking.

We were quite surprised that the beach was dotted heavily with sea foam.

It was actually quite pretty but curiosity struck us as to the cause.

I had to wait until I got home to look it up on the internet and found the reasons to be varied.

I also found out that some beaches in other parts of the world have had a whole lot more than we had today  in Carlsbad!

This is a link about "sea foam" and quite interesting...the photos on this link are amazing!

The following pictures are what we enjoyed during our walk.

Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot / A Peaceful Place

 

I spent the day with my little grandson by the ocean today.  

We walked and walked along the shores of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and Ecological Reserve in southern California.

This is a wonderful place for anyone interested in bird watching or photography.

There are several hundred different species of birds that migrate here throughout the year.

My interest was the Snowy Egret.

 

I took a whole lot of photos of this guy!

I'll post more on the Weekend Reflections meme Friday morning.

This is my wonderfully peaceful place.

I shall return!
