Photographers Thursday

'Q' for Queen of the Beach



Low Tide at Beach


Thursday post ~ Photographers and more Photographers from around the world. As you can see by the photos, ArtMuseDog and I have been taking advantage of the wonderful weather and meandering and sometimes racing (not me) on the beach.
The first photo is for Alphabe Thursday (prompt) was Q so we have Queen of the Beach, quickly checking out every nook and cranny, quizzing with her nose, everything!

The two photos below the Queen are for Rural Thursday and are of the beach again. September to me and sometimes October is when the beach is best. The ocean, the sand, the air are all very healing and inspirational to me and I feel at one with the universe.

    What a cute dog you have!
    I agree about September and October and the beach! The weather is (usually) perfect and there aren't as many people!

    Queen of the beach! I love it! If you want to see what Lizzie does at the beach, go to my Facebook page. I have a couple of photos of my little squirt, as well as a photo of a cat who has adopted us. We named her Violet.

    That is the cutest Queen of the Beach ever! OH, how I love a visit to the beach. To just sit, relax, get my feet wet, feel the sand between my toes, breathe in the amazing smell of the ocean...SO rejuvenating!

    Lovely photos!

    Your ArtMuse dog is an adorable Queen and looks right at home on the beach! I also loved the shore rocks that are so full of character.

    I'd love to be close to a beach! I'd drive right there, after seeing your wonderful photos! But, the closest beach to us is the sand bar on the Mississippi River! I love the river--but it's just not the same. . .

    It's nice you live so close to the beach - September and October are beautiful for strolling the beach with a dog. It looks like ArtMuseDog "Queen" enjoys it as much as you do!
