I drove and then walked to a nearby beach with loved ones. The wind waved flags of fall everywhere.
The beach is so mellow and solitary when not covered in summer frolicking nomads. The wind is now louder than the laughter of former beach guests and it seems to mimic the rush of the cooler season pushing forward.
It is the perfect time to get lost in thoughts and ponder creative plans and pretend you are someone else.
Yes, I much prefer the beach in the fall, without all the people.
ReplyDeleteI love the beach in early October, while it is still warm, but the crowds have waned.
ReplyDeletenice...i enjoy a trip to the beach after season...it is def much more peaceful....i love fall too, so...
ReplyDeleteI just spent a week at the ocean. It was wonderful! Now it's back to stacking wood, digging potatoes etc but oh the memories.
ReplyDeleteThat alone time on the beach is why i love going out there right before sunrise, when there's no one else around.
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning views. Fall is wonderful - and your beach landscape is the perfect place to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThe change of seasons certainly gives an excuse to stop and think about a few things. Empty beach shots say it all about the time of year.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteWe usually go to Whidbey island after labor day for a few days, and love the peace and quiet of the place after the summer busy-ness.
Peaceful words

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what time of year it is in Hawaii... It's always crowded. LOL
ReplyDeleteAny time spent along the coast is good for the soul. It's so easy to just relax and be still...ahhhhhh.
ReplyDeleteFor many of us, like you, fall appears as a siren's call -- to rest and restore your spirits. To be contemplative. Nature marches along with our thoughts giving us migrations, winds, coolness, and change. Loved your post!
