Oh what a gorgeous and absolutely perfect beach day this visit was.
I decided to go to Long Branch beach right after my appointment with Dr. C. The beach is literally a couple of blocks from the wellness center, and I have never been on the beach in Long Branch. I also didn't have a lot of time to be able to travel to Ocean Grove. I'm so glad that I decided to visit this beach...so glad!
The sky was so blue.
The sun was shining so brightly.
The beach was empty, except for a few people strolling the shoreline or sitting in their chairs.
There's a little boardwalk there so there were people walking and riding their bikes.
The tide was a little high, so collecting seaside treasures was a little difficult. I only found one small piece of sea glass but found lots of delicate and beautiful shells.
I enjoyed the feel of the sand between my toes, the cool ocean on my feet and the warm sun on my face.
It really amazes me how different the beaches on the Jersey Shore are. Even though they share the same coastline, their appearances and feel are all slightly different. Some have more beach than ocean. Some have more ocean than beach. The texture and color of the sand seems to vary from beach to beach. The seashore treasures are different on each beach. Even though each beach is different and unique to itself, they all share three special things in common to me...every single one takes my breath away, is my haven and my home!

| One of the first things I saw when I approached the beach. So cool!! |
 |
| "Hello Beautiful!" |
 |
| I sat here for quite a while. It was amazing to me what the tide had created. It was far enough from the ocean that I didn't get wet, but close enough to enjoy every bit of it! |

| I scribbled this in the sand. I am truly home when I'm at the beach! |
 |
| This little lady came by to say hello as I sat. I have never seen a ladybug on the beach! |
 |
| Good-Bye Long Branch. Parting is such sweet sorrow! |
