Good times ( #summer2018) have been shared and stored away in our memory bank ( or on I cloud ) for future reference.

Your lead picture showing the waves and shoreline is exquisite! I love the blues, the blue-greens, the white foam and the deep blues. I’d like to have this on my wall!
You made me feel as though I was visiting with you and your relatives. Nice piece of writing!..Thanks for sharing.

That will help! 🙂

A Breath of fresh air from the shore!
