After they've all gone home








The prettiest time of year at the beach........when the tourists and summer people have gone home. Only a few footsteps are left behind as evidence that they were once here.

poetically peaceful Carole........

when we visited my grandparents in Florida, it was never during the 'peek' times.....and those images you shared (are way! better) are just what I remember...we didn't do much swimming

those are striking Carole.......some of my favs. thus far......
p.s. did you see Laeriss is going to start selling clothing?.....I know!!

I'm about to go through the tourist bombardment with summer on it's way.. It is only the weekend visitors, but very annoying.. haha

Love to live in one of these houses!! Have a great Sunday x Julie

What an idyllic beach...one with no-one on it....I'd love to be running along it, right now.
Beautiful ,quite dramatic in a serene sort of way (if that makes sense !!) photographs.
Love them Carole. XXXX

Stunning images. I am enchanted by the colors, shadows and patterns. It is a perfect time to take a walk 'sur la plage'.

Hi Carole,

We feel the same way here, when the tourists go away everything seems so beautiful and peaceful.
It is the best time to take walks along the beach.
Many thanks for sharing your lovely photos.

Don't you just love an empty beach, just you and the sand, the sounds of the sea and the sea gulls...mmm...you can even finally listen to the wind without intrusions.

Love your photos! The sand one is almost like a painting!
