Why I Love The Beach!

Too cool, Phyllis! I've never seen one and I'd be thrilled too.

Ah Phyllis - I go to the beach for this - and to go out where it is - and usually for no other reason



But - I am always delighted when there are other things to see

Aren't they beautiful Kathleen? The only thing that would have made this even better is if it would have fluffed its colorful neck feathers up and also if there had been enough sunlight to get a better photo of it. Still good enough to paint though.

Roy, beautiful! The blackbird is not something that you see often strolling the beach and the terns are perfect!

I love the beach too! Here is my latest...

Beautiful Cathleen. I never get there early enough to get shells other than oyster shells.

Thanks, Phyllis! I just joined FAA! So only have a few pieces posted so far. Phyllis, your work is simply gorgeous!

Excellent find! I'm sure your painting of it will be just as amazing as this beautiful bird!

Thanks ladies. @ Jai, I will certainly try! Just added you to my watchlist. Your work is amazing!!!

Phyllis, I see birds at the beach too but they are love birds.

Awe! That is beautiful. Can't beat love.

I see birds on the beach - but they change a bit in my paintings...

I know what you mean Phyllis, I captured this guy just a few days ago.

I love waves :-) - Sebastian beach, Fl


Sunrise too, Miami beach, Fl


and birds - Treasure island beach, Fl


and found starfish

I was lucky enough to get this Reddish Egret at Fort Myers Beach. Of course this is now altered, but it made my day. I know how you feel Phyllis.


And then there is this at Naples Beach:

Great for people watching......


and bird watching......

It's where I want to be!
