Beach Textures (continued)

East Coast Beach

Last month I shared some textures from our west coast beach walks. So I thought I'd share some recent images taken during a visit to an east coast beach. It's interesting to compare and contrast the two locations, or at least the beaches at these spots on opposite sides of the country. 

The first thing to notice? No palm trees, . . . but lots of green,

and weathered wood.

Our California beach has sand, but rocky textures as well. By contrast this beach is sand as far as the eye can see. Nevertheless, there are textures to appreciate. At water's edge, the debris in receding tides create some cool patterns on the surf. 

And then you occasionally run across an opportunity to get down on your knees and really look at what the ocean has brought to the surface.

There is another big difference between these two locations: the weather. Sunny Southern California is extremely predictable; east coast weather is variable. You're likely to have a few thunderstorms if you're visiting in the summer, - nice for a change! 

But whether you're on the east or west coast, a good beach walk is always therapeutic.
