Pink Skies, Virginia Beach


The theme for City Daily Photo today and tomorrow is Pink. I thought of pink skies and decided to go back into my archives for pink sunrises at Virginia Beach in honor of that great vacation town. Today that area suffered a tragic shooting, something that should not happen anywhere.

These pictures are left over from our trip there in 2017. We were also there in 2013. We don't go there very often because it is a long drive, even though it is in our state. It takes 4 hours plus a lunch stop and traffic delays, which we always hit between Newport News and the beach.


Sharing with Skywatch Friday and Weekend Reflections.

The mother and child photo is from later in the day. It was almost black and white so I went ahead and took out the rest of the color.

I don't know the people in these pictures. I was using a zoom lens from our balcony. At that time, my right foot was still tender from foot surgery so I didn't even try to walk on the sand. (Wow, and here I am two years later and that foot still gets sore! My weak ankles don't really let it heal completely.)

The flowers were at nearby First Landing State Park.

Have a good weekend!

  7. Makes me want to get off of my lazy butt and go to the beach. It's about a ten minute drive.

  9. Such beautiful captures. Thank you for sharing them with us.

    We're so sad about the shooting in Virginia Beach. Way too much senseless violence in the world right now.

  10. How maddening to be at the sea yet not able to walk on the sand. Do hope beaches are now accessible to you again despite your sore foot and ankles.
