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.

  16. 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!
