Papa’s World – A windy day walking the beach.

/ Tom / Leave a comment
The calm before the wind!

We had gone through one day of winds

then another storm way off the coast

brought another windy day!

We headed out on our walk – nervous from the trees!

But we pushed on – walking the streets until we came to the beach.

Entrance to the beach – South of main street

The wind was stronger on the beach –

sometimes blowing the sand up and into your eyes.

This reminds me of desert sands

the wind dries out the sand

which is like powder here in SC.

Leaving footprinrs such as these after walking on it!

Did we make a error in coming to the beach?

The Ocean was rough – waves bigger than normal!

White caps from the shore outward.

A lonely man metal detecting

We were almost all alone!

There were a few brave souls

but the wind whipped up the sand

causing it to swirl across to the waters edge.

Almost no one on the beach and this was almost lunch time

We walked a short distance –

bracing against the wind

Even the birds were not there!

We are soul mates in the wind.

And then the calm at the end of the day – Full Moon – over the lake – our view from the Lanai

Papa’s World – Low tide – exploring the beach!

On the way to the beach to at last see the low tide!

Every day we have been to the beach for the month of October.

But – this was the first time we were there at exactly low tide!

First view at low tide.

We were excited as this is a very wide beach even when the tide comes in.

We can actually hear the surf from our Lanai!

The beach at low tide

Even then at low tide – you can wade way out

and still only be waist high!

Looking South toward Myrtle Beach

The sand is like powder

and so far has not burned out feet!

We walk the tidal pools

and the water has been warm to the touch

The air feels cooler than the water.
