What a delightful day it was! Nothing like the sea breezes and sound of the ocean to melt away the lingering stress from the holiday hustle and bustle.

New Smyrna Beach in December
Over the Christmas holiday, we visited family in Florida, and what kind of Florida vacation would it be without a trip to the beach? New Smyrna Beach was the beach of choice during this trip. It was a cloudy day, and not very warm, but the sun did manage to make an appearance a couple of times. I had great fun watching all of the beach birds scurrying across the beach, swooping by, or just standing there surveilling the scene. Here are some images of my bird friends.

I LOVE the last photo so much! "We'd better keep an eye on those guys." Laughing out loud! That is such a great capture and I hope you frame it!

Hi Linda,
Looks like you had a wonderful trip. Very nice collection of images - my fav is the last! Love its design, DOF, and your caption makes me smile:)
I think I'm in love with sandpipers. their legs, color, everything. thanks for sharing these spectacular photos, you just made my day. I'm not sure which one I like best, the tones in "scurrying" are lovely. reflections in the last - just superb. this was a good day at the shore for many reasons! thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hello, I truly appreciate it. happy day to you Linda.
I'll bet that was a great trip. I miss the beach...and wearing shorts too. Your photos look wonderful!
Lovely shots of your bird friends! Thank you for sharing
These are beautiful! On my beach walk this evening there were lots of little birds scurrying around...so difficult to capture them. I'm very impressed with your photos.
Wow. One of my favorite subjects, birds at the beach.
