Saturday Snapshot




Snapshot Saturday is hosted by Alyce of At Home with Books. To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos that you find online.





When we made our last trip up north, my niece generously offered her "beach" house to us. Since we arrived a day early for my brother's wake, we walked down the street to the beach. I loved the clouds and the sky in this first photo.  The horizon line is almost indistinguishable from the ocean. So calming and peaceful.










My niece really loves her beach house and puts some beachy accents wherever possible, even the shed. Love the red buoy against the grey.






Shells and star fish abound around the house as accent pieces. I liked the oval shape of the dish and the different shell textures in this shot.
