A Morning on Revere Beach

 One morning recently, I spent a bit of time at our local beach. 
 
It's not the most scenic beachfront but none the less, it is nice to visit first thing in the morning to walk and collect some seashells. 


These are the pictures I took that morning.

It was a bit of a cloudy somewhat overcast morning with the sun peeking through.

Many of the shells that I use in my wreaths and photo frames are collected right here on Revere Beach








 
The week before was the yearly sand sculpting festival.  Usually the creations last for weeks but we had just had a major thunder lighting hail storm the day before so some of the creations were destroyed but here are some that were still standing. 



 Look at the incredible detail on this one.


This one was a tribute to Fenway Park, where the Boston Red Sox play and also honored the festival sponsors.




I hope you enjoyed the visit to Revere Beach,  in my hometown, and the oldest public beach.

  3. It is so amazing how they sculpt sand!! If I put that much work into something I want it to last much longer. Thank you for sharing your walk on the beach.

  4. Amazing sculptures! I've seen a show about either this festival or something similar and it is incredible how intricate and beautiful these creations are. Seashells are not something we find on our beaches here in Oregon - not whole anyway. You do a beautiful job with them on your wreaths and pictures frames, Judy!!

  5. The sculptures are so beautiful! I can't believe that people can do such creative things with sand. I have seen this on t.v., but never in person.
