Broadkill Beach, Milton, Delaware

We had a busy first day in Delaware, and really didn't have time to appreciate the beach because of the storm that greeted us shortly after we settled into our house. 

The next morning began the twice a day walks on the almost empty Broadkill Beach. 

If you like a crowd, this place will not be your thing. 

Unobstructed walks...

Beach combing...

 

A little room to toss a ball...

 

And the music of the waves to read a book by, and sleep by, was the norm.

Gentle bay waters and,...

..blue, blue skies greeted us for the rest of our stay.

 Home sweet home. 

 

How Lucky Is That?

Its starting to rain outside after some deep, deep thunder. The kind of thunder that doesn't so much startle you, but moves you. Deep.

Last week we watched the forecast while wearing our flannel jammies and t-shirts during all the hurricane news and flooding. We were getting ready to go to the beach and only saw one - yes ONE day that showed a yellow sun as the featured weather symbol. So we packed our flannel jammies, fleece tops and long sleeved shirts for the beach. I even considered a turtle neck.

Did we need them? No! NO! NOOOOO! How lucky is that?
Its late and I haven't had a chance to download all the photos, but here is a taste of a wonderful time in Milton, Delaware.Horseshoe crab corpses were plentiful this year. Perhaps the hurricane aftermath. Our morning walk south.
