Beach Cottages

Some photos I took on our beach cottage walk

while on vacation last week.

Striking, that pumpkin in the basket of the rusty blue bike

At the cottage with the bright green window trim

These cottage dwellers are most likely glad that most tourists

stay on the main road in town,

perusing the shops, bakeries, galleries and cafes

-

but oh what we would have missed

had we not taken to the alley-ways and back roads

not striving toward a destination

but just enjoying the adventure of the journey

I take photos of the same cottages every time we visit,

but, each time the light is a bit different,

the flowers always beautiful

In our home town I often overlook the beauty

of a window box or porch decor

as I breeze by in my car heading to my destination

-

but in leisurely walking the same route

often there are treasures of beauty to observe

-

There is an old garage in an alley,

once painted blue but now completely weathered.

Everytime I pass it I enjoy its texture and peeling paint,

the grey wood exposed

-

Gorgeous weathered wood

A favorite color

The purple trim on this cottage

always creates a smile in my heart and on my face

The hounds enjoy the cottage walk

but prefer the sand and ocean view

Yes, our beach has AQUA sand dollars !!!

(with chocolate inside, the best!)

I just know Anita is smiling at this.
