The garden, the beach. Both calling my name. Since I couldn’t decide, I did both.

The morning was spent digging up more weeds and planting a few things, the afternoon, on the beach with my friend.

The thing I didn’t count on was traffic! This was one of the first nice weekends this year and everyone had the same idea: Let’s go to the beach.

My friend got there before me and called with the news that there was no parking. We decided to go to a place mostly only locals know about. Even there, it took a while to get a spot.

But we had a great walk and in the #seven77 spirit we took 3 push-up filming breaks 🤪

Along the way, we found some cool things to look at - like the crab above and this sand dollar.

But the best part is always people watching. Today, I really wished that I had a better camera. We saw some people practicing tight rope walking and a guy climbing on top of one of the volleyball net poles and doing a backflip down. By the time the phone was finally ready to go, the action was over...

But I got this couple in a shot - its been a while that I saw knee-high leather boots on the beach.

This is a typical beach shot. Kids playing and dad or parent hanging out somewhere and watching.

As we were walking along, a different little girl was running along the beach, crying and calling for mama. (of daddy - it was hard to understand) We stopped and asked if she had lost her mom or dad and all she could do was nod and cry. We were able to calm her down a bit and signaled the lifeguard that we needed him.

He was very nice and also was a calming presence and, like Maddie, crouched down to speak to the little one. I tried to keep a bunch of other adults who had started to gather at bay so she wouldn't be more frightened.

The lifeguard radioed the tower and they made a loudspeaker announcement. The parents, who were frantically looking for her were very relieved when they got reunited. My friend wrote with the lifeguard, the girl on her lap, to the tower to deliver her to the parents.

As soon as they got there, the lifeguard told my friend to get out since they had to do a rescue. I am sure it was quite a busy day for them. Riptides and lots of people on the beach that don't know the ocean and have no idea that it can be quite dangerous, even close to the beach.

See the cluster of people? The parking lot is straight east of it. So funny that people park, walk the few steps to the beach and stay there instead of spreading out...

Now, I am tired. Time to get tomorrow’s writing promos ready and go to bed.

Looks like a wonderful and sunny day at the beach ! I am glad the rescue was successful, it is always difficult to look after an entire beach during busy times for the lifeguards, I think.... Such is their duty and responsibility!

I love the crab and the sea dollar pictures :D Sea life always fascinate me very much :)

A really lovely post, @mariannewest <3

Thank you so much. It was a lovely day for sure!

What a BeautyFull day 💖 and talk about Divine Timing 🙏 So thankful you & your friend were there to help the little girl 💯 Much Love!

Posted using Partiko Android

We were very happy too. For one, both of us are mothers and can vividly imagine the panic the parents must have felt - also, there are a lot of weird people in the world and she was a very cute little girl... One just never knows...
We were very happy that she was reunited with her parents very fast.

💖💖💖🙏💖💖💖

@mariannewest, good count of steps! Bravo!
Nice pictures and interesting video!

Well done, Marianne! When do you have time to post!! Great steps in and a beautiful day at the beach!

at midnight LOL

Oh, yes! Of course. I have been working nights this last month, so it is killing me! :)

Okay, not killing me, but, my best steemit work is done then! LOL Work is edging into my steemin!

I thought you work for the government. And that everyone is asleep there after 5. LOL

Well, there are some weeks that doesn't happen, no matter where you work. ;)

😄 Hope you can get back to not sleeping because you are steeming instead of not sleeping because you are working LOL

Yes!! OMG! That!~ :)

I do miss the beach! When we visited SFO we spent a day going from beach to beach to beach. I can see why it calls out to you. While I was living down in Oceanside, I would go to the beach daily and I still dream about it. I would love to go walking along the beach with you someday when we are out your your.
