Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer


I took this picture a couple days ago at Ocean Park Beach in Maine. It was hot and humid and, even though the sky, here, looks clear, it was really quite hazy.

If you enlarge it, you can see the Pier at Old Orchard Beach in the background.

It gets really busy at this time of the year. I had to walk quite a ways down the beach to get to a place that wasn't too crowded.

To see more fabulous skies go to SkyWatch Friday

You just made my day! This is a stunning photo. What a bright spot. I just posted a sad, reflective post and needed this photo to perk me up!

If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was one of my Cocoa Beach photos... I have a couple very similar. I LOVE the colorful umbrellas against the blue blue sky!

Beautiful!

My SWF

I love looking at different umbrellas and the stuff they put on them. I have an umbrella with picture of shoes all over it.

I noticed you do crafts, come take a look at my new Craft it Wednesday blog. I also give away prizes of craft books or crafts.

What a happy, bright photo! It's a very dark, grey day here today, and that made me smile.

Very cool photo. It's so crisp and easy to enlarge and study the small elements like the sandals laying in the sand.

Thank you for visiting Tampa Daily Photo. I really appreciate you visiting and leaving your nice comment. I am fascinated by your student blog entries from the class. Is that an ongoing assignment? The kids were very open and honest and I don't think I've ever read a blog that was so unexpected or so interesting. And a terrific way to tie school with this tsunami of social media.

I hope you'll visit Tamp DP again real soon.

Oh wow... we've been to Old Orchard Beach... My husband's cousin had his wedding there... decades ago!
I guess that was a long time ago!
all the best, Maria
