I've been working (interior painting) at a house on the beach for the past 2 weeks. I'm telling you, there is almost nothing better. Every day the view is dreamy. The water and sky never stop changing, meshing, and amazing me. Even the bad days are a work of art to behold.
Low tide, high tide, seaweed, deep blue waters, turquoise waters, white gulls diving back and forth, black rocks jutting out for the seals to bask upon. Yes, yesterday I actually saw Harbor seals sunning themselves! It's always an adventure at the beach.
One thing I love about the beach is people watching. This couple was so cute. They stood there for quite a while, snuggling. Most people are walking dogs though. It always makes me wish I could bring Lily to work with me, but that definitely isn't an option at this house.
a long gone-by beach rose berry/the most gorgeous turquoise waters with gulls, and dark seaweed lying just below the surface
Looking out towards the Isles of Shoals with a billion diamonds/an almost petrified dead rose berry
I've noticed these rocks seem to be a favorite place for gulls to hang out, probably because there are plenty of crabs and other shell fish hanging about. Star Island looms large in the background
And though this really has nothing to do with the beach ... the other day I came home to Turkey Vultures circling our house and the surrounding vicinity. Turns out there was something dead in the field behind our yard.
Lily does NOT like TV's and let's them know in no uncertain terms. When they get this low she chases them and barks like a mad woman. The bird looks terrified doesn't it? I mean just look at those eyes! Ha ha! More than likely it's wondering where the Pug is ; )

We have turkey vultures overhead every day. Not much for them in our yard as pickins though.
Love the diamonds on the water shot...almost blinding... it's beautiful.

After looking at these...my heart LONGS for a day or 2 at the beach. Just lovely!
Such an interesting post and lovely photos. What a treat to be working somewhere with such a lovely view. The turkey vulture is amazing - I don't know about Lily but I think I would be scared! x
You are so lucky to be working near the beach like that! And so clever to keep your camera handy!! Thanks for sharing!!
Breathtaking! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful shots - the ocean always calms me, wherever I am when I view it..thank you!
You're so lucky to live and work so close to The Water. I know that road very well and love the drive along that stretch. The photos are stunning as usual. And, the Turkey Vulture's wing-span is huge. Was it bigger than Lily? (Whom I call The Happy Dog)
Simply Stunning Scenes.
Thank you even for the vulture:)

Oh, what a view. Beautiful photos! To live near the ocean would be such a treat. So many wonderful things to explore and the view ... oh, what a view.
Gorgeous water. Gorgeous days you're having there. Carol
How lovely Our New England is! Life is good..beautiful photo's..
Wow, Sharon. Your beach photos made me want to get in my car and head to the beach. I could almost hear the seagulls and smell the salty air. Ahhhh, clam rolls came to mind, too. ha haha Loved the photos. Susan
I can't even tell you how much your photos mean to me. I know they are just pictures but they are memories to me. I grew up outside of Boston and always loved going to the beach. Whether the north shore in MA or the Cape or Narraganset or Maine or.... any would do! I loved being bundled up in a windbreaker and jeans.
Then I moved to the South. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it down here. But the beach is NOT the same. The sand is grainy and hot and you sweat. A lot. I am a readhead and I get burned the minute I hit the beach. So, when at the beach here I stick to going out early in the morning and late at night.
Oh, those oyster shells! How I miss New England beaches. Thank you for this post and a trip down memory lane.

Oh my gosh, I don't think I would get any work done...I'd be gazing out at the view! Beautiful photos! I've seen turkey vultures flying over the fields by our house, they're awesome to watch.
You always take such gorgeous pictures! My favorite has to be the one of the Turkey Vulture, they're just so cute!
