Crane Beach

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous, so we drove up to Crane Beach in Ipswich for a long walk and dinner in town. Here are some photos of the day.


Others have the same idea...


One of many clam shells

Plenty of wide open space
A rhythmic pattern of shells
A lone gull, but not for long.

Surf's up (well, not so much).

Love Birds?

Flying solo
Footprints
Making inroads
Driftwood

Last one

Lobster Dinner. Or, as some Bostonians would say "Lobstah Dinnah".

Two Alligators
I hope you're enjoying the weekend wherever you are.

    Linda - The beach seems to have changed so much over the years and especially after the spring storms. There are such large sand bars carved out of the sand and peninsulas, especially when the tide is out. As always, there's plenty of room to get away from the crowds too. I highly recommend a visit if you like the beach.

    Thank you all for your comments! I had such fun taking these pictures and practicing a little artistry in the process.

    Yvonne - The sand sculptures were an unexpected surprise. All the kids around were really enjoying them. There are some very talented people out there!

    hi deborah,

    i'm loving these photos. it so makes me want to see the east coast beaches. ours are so different here. i especially love the pic with the shells laying in a pattern. the only thing laying in a pattern on our beaches are girls with fake boobs.
