At dawn today rain clouds were moving in, and the sun peeped out from quite dense morning clouds.

The colors at the golden moment were intense and quite wonderful. I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story…

Four Legs Good.

I’m always caught in a contradiction when it comes to dogs on the beach.

The dogs themselves are generally full of fun, and totally loving the opportunity to have fun in the water. The ocean seems to bring out the best in them.

Sandcastles to me are the essence of happiness. Family fun and relaxation steps on into art and spontaneity. I come across the castles of sand long after their completion and they never fail to make me smile!

In Praise of Winter Seagulls

By FLS | Published March 3, 2011

Winter seagulls are a fun feature of life on the shore early on. As the fish get more plentiful the flying menaces head out into the ocean to catch fish, but at this time of year you’ll find them pecking around the shoreline looking for scraps, especially on windy days.

Tourists who bring food to the beach will have winged company, that’s for sure…

Seagull’s reverie.

Just chilling by the ocean.

Whoa! Didn’t see you there…

My apple. MINE!

Lets fly to the sun, lets ride with the tide.

Running through the seagulls.

Chasing the sunrise.

Intense arguments about food.

Hop It.

Hummingbird Impression.

Seagull takes flight.

The Art of Jogging

By FLS | Published March 2, 2011

There are lots of folks who love to jog along the seafront here in Ft Lauderdale. Several half-marathons are held here. Many choose to run the sidewalks along the famous wavewall and brave the traffic and cycle lanes. But those in the know jog the shore at low tide when the sands are firm. Of course, barefoot. Sand and surf in your toes – you can’t beat a good shoreline sprint.
