Hot Diggity Dogs and More...at Rehoboth Beach, DE

Hubby and I savored a few last dog days of summer at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware....thanks to the generosity of friends.



Hot diggity dog, this beautiful girl, Daisy, (below!) was more than happy to pose for her portrait.



A jellyfish glistens.



An endless game of fetch. The owner told me I'd have at least 258 opportunities just that day to take a picture!

Peacefulness amid the warm, soft sand dunes.



Some fun with shells and surf-smoothed stones. Meow!



A sweetie-pie named Sadie trolling along the beach just lookin' to give someone a great big smooch.



We found ourselves strolling through this flower shop during a rainy afternoon.




Delightful, bright red cardinals were on sale there, and benefitted wildbird sanctuaries along the shore. A perfect addition to our flower gardens.



And, Jasper, the resident flower shop dog, soaked in all of the attention, then wasted no time showing us where his treats were located!

I bumped into this honey of a hot dog along the boardwalk! That's my hubby for those who don't know ;)



Out to sea.

And, last but not least, this fella, who we called Ted, just wouldn't leave us alone. We'll save that story for my next blog post!

Rejuvenating the Artist's Soul at N. Myrtle Beach

Nothing is more rejuvenating for the artist's soul than a week of soaking in the sunshine, toes digging into the warm, soft sand, enjoying the sights and sounds of the ebb and flow of the tide crashing in and sliding back out to sea. Absolutely mindless.

Come along with me to see the colors, shapes, and sounds of a soul-refreshing week at North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

These navy blue beach chairs are calling your name.

Nature shows us her intricate designs in the dune grasses.



A little one's tools of the trade, ready to dig in and get creative.



Someone else already did.



A Dad next door was having a blast sculpting this enormous sea turtle.



Comedian Steven Wright tells of having a seashell collection. And then delivers in his deadpan voice, "perhaps you've seen it. It's scattered on beaches all over the world".







Tiny shells in sandy colors, stripes, and whites.



Dragons.







And, dragonflies.



So many dog pals to meet of all shapes, sizes and colors:

Arizona and company.



Super-cute puppy, Digit.



Aussie, Buster.



And handsome Ertle.



Ohhh...and here comes another little cutie-pie...

A irresistable array of colorful soda bottles catch the eye at Barefoot Landing, and quench hubby's thirst.



And, "yes", these sweet bunnies told me that "It's time that I will be meeting new friends."



Bright, vibrant lights at Joe's Crab Shack set a festive mood.



One more day...









Awwwww....a loving, heartful message written in the sand.



Colorful skim boards await a run in the surf.



It would be SO easy to sit here for weeks on end and then another weekend.

Here's an extra treat for you. Take a minute to enjoy the soothing waves before you leave.
