What a Beach! Volume 1.1
My wife and I managed to maneuver around most of the punji sticks on the beach and continued along the shoreline.
If you missed the last post and have no idea what I'm talking about, you can find it here: What a Beach! Volume 1.0
So here we were on the beach near the large sand dunes, minding our own business and walking casually along the coast. When out of nowhere, we saw...
A log!
Here is the same exciting log from a different angle. (As you can see, the punji stick booby traps are real, but we managed to successfully avoid serious injury!)
After being overly concerned about our feet, we took the opportunity to look up to the skies after we cleared the hazards.
We didn't journey far from our beach entry point...
But it was far enough to encounter some dune shrubbery...
And more sea oats and things...
And a misplaced, dead tree.
Oh my god, it's a whale! (Do you see it?)
Wow! Very art!
It is a beach. Confirmed.
After being sufficiently sun-soaked and salty, we made our way back over the monstrous dunes.
On our way, we made a new, fabulous flying friend!
There were more wildflowers growing along the side of the road.
Some of them had little baby creatures snacking on their flowery parts.
Then we made it to the road and crossed over. Our next stop: The parking area! (Trust me - it's more exciting than it sounds.)
That's it for Volume 1.1, but be sure to come back for the next post in the What a Beach! series.
All photos taken with my Canon 6D, paid for with my Steemit earnings!

@Ats-David... I did miss Your first part of the Beach Excursion... so will go back and read it.
Was smiling & chuckling the entire way through this post... >> : ~ ))... Thanks 4 the humor...
...BUT I really could not see the "whale" in that piece of driftwood but will keep trying over the next few days.
Thanks 4 Sharing...Have a Good Weekend !!
Quick Note: Okay... read the previous"What a Beach" Volume 1...AND I read every single comment BUT couldn't find any hints where this Beach is located. My Best Guess is one of the Carolina's but You demurred on that guess by someone else... >> : ~ )) ... Thanks Again !!
Where the beach is and where the whale is in that photo...both mysteries!
Thanks for reading though! I'm glad you enjoyed the posts!
Smilesss... David, You Truly are THE Slayer of Good Content. Thanks Again !!
Lovely pics, especially the tree stump. Love it!
Thanks!
I like the angle of view in the second picture ... very nice work, my friend :)
Have a great Evening
Thanks! You too!
Man, if you continue to post such pictures I will never return to office on Monday...
Well...would that be a bad thing?
hmm... well, if I start to think about it maybe this would be a GOOD thing
What a nice place. I see your new DSLR is doing a great job. :)
Yes, the camera is doing great. I could use a little more practice though.
lol, that's a nice booby trap for such a log.
Beautiful photo of the misplaced, dead tree.
I love seeing your photo's + stories. Keep em coming :)
Thank you. I will certainly do that. I have plenty of photos to share!
I wouldn't expect anything less ;-)
I've just posted a new (urbex) post that you maybe could check out and share your thoughts about. It would be much appreciated :)
Beautiful shots man. Makes me jealous of what seems to be amazing wheather!
Over here (Netherlands) were experiencing a lot of rain currently and hardly any sun :(
I would love to do a workout run along the coastline on that beach...
Make sure you run close to the water, or else you might end up with lots of holes in your feet!
Is the whole beach boobytrapped like that?
You brought that dead tree with you, didn't you?
Yeah, you got me. The place just looked a little too lively for my tastes. Some dead stuff really makes me feel more at home.
Not pictured: the not-alive baby seal that I also brought with me.
"Slayer of Baby Seals" as well now, hm?
That drift wood looks cool. My parents had a smaller piece that looked like that for decoration.
I'm not sure if it's you or me, but the first few pics don't seem to have made it! The others are great!!! Nice resolution.
I think it might be you. They're loading for me on different browsers/devices.
I couldn't see the first 4-5, I just got an icon with the jpeg number
