Those Happy Golden Days of Summer

Sand along the southern New Jersey shore is called sugar sand because it is a shade of pale beige or white and very fine. But as the sun falls lower in the sky, the sand takes on a more golden hue.
Here is this weeks entry for Friday Foto Friends and Skywatch Friday.



Puppy tracks along the bay! The sun is getting lower and the sand is changing color.




the sun uses the cove as her mirror

As the sun nears the horizon, gold and pink become intense. You can feel the hot spots from the suns rays as they travel across the water.

  1. I especially like that first photo. All of them are beautiful. Live in the sunshine! Reminds me of a song from the 60's. We'll sing in the sunshine. We'll laugh every day!

  9. Happy Tuesday Annie! I know I'm a little late in commenting, blame it on the humidity that has made me very lazy. LOL! Speaking of lazy I hope you don't mind that I brought my outdoor recliner to sit by your bay and relax in the wonderful photos of yours. How I wish I was able to travel for your bay would be the first place I would visit and maybe drop in to say hi! Have a day of blessings my friend.
