We spent a day recently at Ocean City NJ - from the boardwalk you can see the hints of activity on the beach beyond the dunes....
You will notice that the variety of bodies is stunning. Just as there are different kinds of seeds, there are different kinds of bodies—humans, animals, birds, fish—each unprecedented in its form. You get a hint at the diversity of resurrection glory by looking at the diversity of bodies not only on earth but in the skies—sun, moon, stars—all these varieties of beauty and brightness. And we're only looking at pre-resurrection "seeds"—who can imagine what the resurrection "plants" will be like! 1 Corinthians 15:39-41
I am on vacation for a few days and will not be able to comment on your pictures - thanks for stopping by and I will try to catch up when I get back. I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.
I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

A very different beach shot, I love it! Well done!

@Betty: Thanks Betty - it is actually a bit deceiving because it looks so peaceful (actually it was a very busy day at the beach).....
I like the feeling of peeking through the dune grasses...like a childhood spy game.

@Tracey: Thanks Tracey - that caught my eye as well....
I love the look of the colored tents through the grasses. Just beautiful.

@Marion: Thanks, they are umbrellas and you will see more of them.....
Great scene from a northern beach. I hear the NJ beaches are very nice; your very nice pic enforces that reputation as well-deserved.

@Viewfinder: The beaches up here are nice (fake, but nice). They are also pretty crowded in OC NJ, which you will see if you follow this series.....
Marvellous, I like how you are peering through the grasses, it gives it a secluded feel. Great voyeurism !

@Observing: Thanks - I agree it has a secluded feel - but the truth is I was surrounded by lots of people and the beach and boardwalk were very crowded (you can't always believe what you see in a picture!!).
A beautifully layered scene, Chris ... I need a day at this beach!

This is very good, Chris; grasses, dune, water, sky and yes, the colorful umbrellas.
