August first and where does it go?
Just a bit nostalgic today, missing my kids and grand kids. I know they are at the beach in Delaware. Doing what old kids and young alike do on a summer Saturday in an area of brilliant beauty.
The accompanying photo is one I made some time back of Cape Henlopen in Delaware and if you look closely you can see the Delaware Breakwater lighthouse on the left and way off in the distance on the right is a white spec called the Harbor Refuge light. The Delaware Bay is to the left and the Atlantic to the right. That's why it's called a cape!

Both lighthouses can be seen from shore at a distance and closer from the Ferry which leaves Lewes, DE for Cape May NJ on a regular basis. A good ride with lots to see on any kind of day.
The area shown here is in Cape Henlopen State Park and is a really great place when the tourists are absent. That is from Sept. through June. The beaches as you can see are terrific and a wide angle lens gets it done. Kinda crowded during "The season" but then it is within 2/3 hours from major metropolitan areas. A really great place to visit.

If the kids aren't at the Cape then, probably down further south at Rehoboth Beach, which offers more for the little kids in the way of amusements, crowds, and restaurants. Or perhaps, almost to Ocean City, MD at Indian River Inlet where my son likes to surf.
Regardless, I miss em and thought I'd share.
