Friday Once Again

  Hi everyone. Happy Friday. Today I am joining Nicole for her Friday Face Off and Gillena for her Friday Lunch Break.

    In the past couple of weeks we've had a few days of nice spring-like weather. 😀 It's much hoped for weather too. This is one of those years when everyone I talk to (in my area and even further a field)  mentions that it's time for spring.

   However, there's still snow on the ground that is now melting, and anyplace there is open ground is  VERY wet and soggy. The best place to get out for a walk is the beach, so in the past couple of weeks  there’s been a couple of beach walking trips for me. Today's photos are from one day when I went walking with my husband and the 2 dogs. 


    It was actually quite crowded that day at Rye Beach (Rye, New Hampshire), but the tide was way down so there was plenty of room. I know it looks pretty empty in theses first couple of photos.


     And do you think I could get a photo of both dog's and my husband's faces looking at the camera at the same time? Ha Ha!  Here's my faces for Face Off.


 Seeing it's always 10 degrees (F) cooler by the water, that day we still needed hats and winter jackets for a walk.


    And brrr. There's a group in the area that goes winter swimming. Even if the day isn't too cold, the ocean water in New Hampshire is  cold. Right now it's been about 38 degrees F/ 3 degrees C.


   
     I like these next seaweed photos. 



    These crushed lobster traps and ropes certainly ended up a tangled mess.



   After our walk, and since it was such a nice day, we also took a ride along the coast for a bit too.




   That's it for me. I hope you're having some lovely weather whether you are awaiting spring for fall. Wishing you a great Friday and start to your weekend.

Looks like a pleasant walk, even if a little cold. Seeing those tangled lobster traps and ropes is a sad reminder that the oceans are full of such detritus and animals as large as whales routinely become entangled and drown. All the best - David
