The beach, porches and the finish

Seagrove beach in South Walton County, Florida last Friday.  Sigh.  The six hour drive down is worth it when this sight is waiting. 

One porch after another. 

Dunes in the state park nearby.

A moody sunset.

Grits à ya ya at Great Southern Cafe in nearby Seaside, Florida.  Sunday morning brunch.  We always participate in a walk for charity (the real reason for the trip) and then celebrate the finish here.

And a final walk on the beach the last morning.  It was a lovely time with good friends.  It's always good to get back home, but I do love this serene place.

Hope you have a great weekend, my friends!

Morning coffee, porch, porch, porch and day is done

I'm revisiting Seagrove, Florida from a recent trip with friends to their house there.  I can't get enough of the colors there and feel so calm after re-looking at these photos this morning.  

- It was a chilly morning, that first morning, but I stepped out on the porch anyway with my coffee to watch the sun rising.

- Looking to the right - I titled this photo Porch, Porch, Porch.  These are row houses and the porches go on forever.  The blue color of the porch furniture is indicative of the colors you see everywhere.  If you click to enlarge, the road you see going by the houses is a snippet of scenic Highway 30A, that runs along the Gulf of Mexico coastline.

- And sunset, from the same spot.  That is my favorite place to hang out, I think.  I cropped out the future-view-obstructing house under construction for this photo.  Still beautiful, even with those pesky (but necessary) power lines.  :)
