Revere Beach Sandcastle Festival

Here is a pile waiting to be shaped

These sand piles will all be castles soon.

 This weekend is the yearly sandcastle festival on Revere Beach.  This week they were just bringing the sand and putting it in piles for the artist to work on.

It was going to be a hot day for the artist to be working - already the sun was bright in the sky.

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.
