I’ve spent the last few days with my writing partner Anna, her daughter Bella, and my daughter Lola at Dillon Beach. While it’s over 100 degrees back home it’s been cool and overcast here. We’ve had several days filled with talking, relaxing, and writing. Considering the state of affairs in the world right now it felt extra special to be together as women near the healing energy of the ocean.
I struggled to photograph the beach in ways I haven’t before and I’m not sure I was very successful. I included a photograph of a fire truck as yesterday we came across a woman who broke her ankle on the hiking trail down to the beach. Anna held her leg and comforted her while the rest of us flagged down the first responders when they arrived. Watching how everyone came together to help this woman was a wonderful example of kindness in a world that feels a bit scary at the moment.
Thank you, as always, for your support of my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Here’s a bonus photo my lovely and talented friend Anna took of me. You can find her incredible artwork and writings at loscotoff.com.
These are some lovely photographs. I especially liked the one which captured the town at night with its lights like little stars.
Thank you so much, Nitin. That’s one of my favorites too.
Wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
As always, beautiful pictures.
Thank you so much, Michael.
Your Olympus and iPhone 13 did a fine job, Bridgette, well done! The world today is a very scary place and not the world I grew up in. Sad. Stay positive!
Thank you, John. Yes, it is scary.
All so beautiful!!! It looks amazing. Thank You!!! 💕

Is it weird that I like the algae picture the best? 🙂
It’s one of my favorites too! There’s something so magical about seaweed!
Lovely captures!
Thank you so much, Cindy!
So glad you got away Bridgette. There are still lovely places where you can create as shown by these well taken pictures. Thank you for sharing your experience too. There will always be kindness.
Thank you. Yes. There will always be kindness ❤️
Wow…. amazing…. beautiful pics…💓😊
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome 😊🙏
I don’t understand what is in the picture between the birds and the flower. Standing seaweed?
Someone erected a piece of driftwood and then hang a seaweed from it. A few seconds after the picture it fell.
Delightful to hear about people coming together to help a woman in distress. There ARE still kind people in the world! They need to be celebrated, as you’ve done here, Bridgette.
Thank you, Nancy. We need all the goodness and kindness we can get right now.
Lovely set of photographs Brigette, each telling a story:)
Thank you so much!
Just lovely photographs I so love the healing nature of the beach. 🦋
Thanks!
You are so welcome.
Beautiful photos dear Bridgette and today I wrote a love poem for the sea. In 1991-1993, when I was station at Fort Ord, California. I fell in love with the sea.
Thank you. The sea calls to me always and I answer as much as I can.
I have the Great Lakes near. I take my five grandchildren to. The water, allow us to know peace dear Bridgette. You are welcome.
This is such a great collection! Love that you had to dig deep to find feeling in your shots!
I suppose this is part of visiting the same place over and over. Funny enough, the next day the sun finally came out and the battery on my camera was dead because I accidently left it on! I got the best shots of the trip with my cellphone.
I shot some AMAZING things my phone too!!! I shared some today but there will be SO much more to come! Swoon!
Going to look now! Yay!
There will be more next week I promise! The best is yet to come!
I can’t wait!!!!!
AND A VIDEO TOOO!!!!
