Walking at Minot Beach

i found a new walking spot
utilizing my scituate town beach permit
i drive to the glades
and walk along minot beach
its beautiful there
and sometimes its even a little cooler
than at home
though when it gets to be 90+ degrees
and you're half way through a 10 mile walk
it doesn't seem to help
i've found....

watching the waves roll in
is soothing
even when i'm exerting myself
{no, the water isn't quite this blue
i've taken the liberty of editing this one
but its pretty ain' it?}
another similar shot
using a different setting
and less editing
i choose the first one ;)

the clouds were definitely this beautiful
this particular night there were parents and kids
loading up in kayaks and paddling around
laughter and leisure in the air everywhere
it was calming

this sign just cracked me up

i swear i sang Journey's

don't stop believing the whole rest of my walk

not a huge fan of grafiti in general

but this was clever

almost every home along this stretch

has an american flag

waving proudly outside

i love it

something about the red, white and blue

against the blue of the sea and the sky

the fact that it faces out into the ocean

almost as if to welcome those coming ashore

'this is america and its beautiful here'

it makes me happy

and this beauty

is the view from the parking spot next to mine

again, not a proponent of defacing property

but if all grafiti provided people

with direction to stop

and take in the world around them

it might not be such a bad thing...
