But my husband's eye sight has deteriorated and I don't drive on big roads now. So we don't get there any more.<br /><br />You are so lucky! But you must know that. :-)<br /><br />Gentle hugs,<br />Tessa<br />Upper NYSa writing placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584910865001570480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-86044091966039418022016-04-09T23:25:36.904-07:002016-04-09T23:25:36.904-07:00Great beach photos.

A blog friend mentioned lavender, so I looked up pictures and saw some that were called Spanish Lavender.

I saw many white sea gulls, but not the grand Pelican like you have on here. Such beautiful pictures, truly.<br /><br />I wanted to ask you if you know what the purple flowers are on my post today. They are in front of the housing development that I live at, and I'm not sure what they are. I don't think they're lavender, but who knows. I thought I'd ask you since you know a lot about flowers.<br /><br />Have a relaxing weekend.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-25277816447214034032016-04-07T23:10:37.279-07:002016-04-07T23:10:37.279-07:00Great pictures.

Amara (my granddaughter) and I are headed to the beach ourselves today only on the opposite coast.
