Friday Foto Friends - A Day At The Seashore

Psalm 104:24-25

24.  "O Lord, how manifold are Your works!

In wisdom You have made them all.

The earth is full of Your possessions---

25.  This great and wide sea,

in which are innumerable teeming things,

living things both small and great."

 After our son's wedding last weekend we spent a day at the seashore with our family from Maine.  It was a chilly, windy, gray day, but it was special and sweet in that we were together for a brief time before they had to head back home. For Friday Foto Friends,  I thought you would enjoy these pictures from the seashore...there is such an artistic beauty about this that I will just leave it up to you to enjoy and furnish your own explanations and words of praise for God's artistry...

A last look at the seashore before returning home...

I hope you enjoyed this little walk along the shore with me.  As you begin your preparations for a busy Thanksgiving holiday next week, be sure to take some time to reflect on God's goodness, glory and grace.  Have a blessed and joyful weekend my friends.

Now let us surf on over to Deb's place at Breathing in Grace and see what our other Friday Foto Friends are sharing!

Friday Foto Friends: At The Beach

Good Morning Friends!  Here it is Friday again! And that means it's time for "Friday Foto Friends", so after you visit here, fly on over to my friend Deb's place at Breathing in Grace and see what others are sharing today.

This past week we had the joy of visiting with our grandson, who was here from Maine (click HERE for that story). One of the highlights of the week was our trip to the beach.  Along with watching our grandson swim in the 62 degree water, I mostly watched the birds along the shore.  Thought you might enjoy a little bird watching with me, so here goes:

"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers...

The birds of the air, 

and the fish of the sea

that pass through the paths of the seas..."

O Lord, Our Lord,

How excellent is Your name in all the earth!"

Psalm 8:3, 8-9

There certainly were a lot of birds congregating when we arrived

Here's the one lone Sandpiper working his way among the tiny little crabs down in the sand...

He has some competition it seems

Perhaps a LOT of competition...

Aren't these TERNS interesting?  

Not sure what these are...anyone know?

More Terns, preening and admiring their reflection in the sand

This white heron seems a little tentative about going into this cold water

He tests the water with his toes...

He turns around and heads back to the sand with a look like, "Nope, not today...this water's too cold for me!"

This Plover doesn't seem to mind at all...

"They went thataway...No, they went thataway..."

The sky was cloudy and full of mystery...

I don't think I've ever seen a Black Pigeon before!!!

On closer look, he's really quite pretty and iridescent

"Gotta keep a movin'"  

Ahoy There!

Now that's an interesting bird!

What do YOU see in these clouds???

"O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!"
Psalm 8:1

And look at that bird!  No wait! It's a Navy Fighter Jet!  And I stand and salute you and say "Thank you!"

And that's all folks!!! Hope you enjoyed this little visit to the seashore!

"How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!

How great is the sum of them!

If I should count them, 

they would be more in number than the sand;

When I awake, I am still with You."

Psalm 139:17-18
