Cooler by a Mile…

Avalon’s slogan is true today.  Air conditioning is off!

Saturday Sights

By ann

I started my Saturday on the bay…and finished it on the beach.  With a crazy, busy work day in between!

Peaceful Views

By ann

A true summer “retreat”.

Villa Maria by the Sea:  the vacation/retreat house for the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at 111th Street and the beach.  A beautiful Stone Harbor landmark, and exclusive location to purchase all of your Nuns’ Beach wear 🙂

Once in a Blue Moon

By ann

Friday, at 8:14pm, watch the full moon rise over the ocean (sunset is at 8:12pm, so beautiful views both east and west!).

Previewing Bay Houses

By ann

Early morning kayaking before work: a completely different perspective of bay properties from this angle!

Saying hello!

By ann

Yes, that was me carrying a bottle of wine (unopened) on my morning beach walk.

One of my faithful blog readers is here on vacation.  In previous years, she dropped off thoughtful gifts from her home state.

This year, she suggested saying hello at the beach.  Her rental street is convenient to my walking turn around point, so it worked well for a brief hello (and she gave me a bottle from one of their local wineries).

Such a nice start to the day 🙂

Mid-day Storm

By ann

A wild storm rolled through Avalon and Stone Harbor this afternoon.  High winds toppled deck furniture and trash cans, and heavy rain caused street flooding.

There were reports of a few lightning strikes – including an Avalon Beach Patrol boat!

Temperatures dropped (thankfully!), the rain water drained quickly, and the sun has returned.  Should be a nice evening…

Surfers

By ann

After an unsettled weather day Wednesday, the sky cleared just in time for an evening walk.  Fun to watch the surfers off the 25th Street beach in Avalon.
