Throwback Thursday - Niles Beach, June 19 2017

1. There's just something I love about taking pictures of the ocean waves hitting the shore. Somewhere in a box of old school photographs, I know I have a bunch of similar photos from the 1970s & 80s.
 
 
2. Also love how the sun hits the water. The storm clouds even kindly provided some cool looking (if faint) rays streaming down.
 
 
3. This is the photo I know I've used before (and not just because I remember asking the eldest if it was okay first...lol). I used a cropped version of this to created a "quoto" (quote + photo) for a social media share around August of 2017.
 
 

3a. Here's the Pinterest pin version. I know I tagged the Happsters on either Twitter, FB, or both but while I know Kelli appreciated other times I'd shared her blog posts, I don't recall if she ever responded to this.
 
 
4. A bit hard to tell through the haze, but you can see the Hammond Castle (which I mentioned most recently in my Ghost Story for a HiveBuzz Halloween Trick or Treat badge post) just above where that little bit of the bow of the white boat is sticking out. If that makes sense.
 
 
5. I know so many people hate on seagulls, but they've been one of my favorite annoyances birds ever since I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
 
 
6. I think this seagull was contemplating taking a dip.
 
 
7. However, he got a good look at the waves coming in from the approaching rain storm...
 
 
8. ...and wisely decided to walk back up the beach.
 
 
9. Speaking of further up the beach and favorite birds, a couple of crows were hanging out in the trees and bushes at the edge of Niles beach. They were some distance away, but this shot came out decently clear.
 
 
10. If I recall correctly, the eldest and I were able to spend at least an hour or so hanging out before the sky grew threatening again, and we headed out. At this point, my mom had already been through the surgery and was recovering (better than expected - long story for another day) at the hospital. We'd stopped here for a decompression break before heading back to her apartment.

Thanks for stopping by!
