Sunday at the beach

It is dependably foggy at the beaches here in the summer. I had a brief moment of thinking I might not lug my camera down to the beach, since It was pretty heavily misty.. and I'm so glad I did ! The lighting was so amazing , diffused and soft with the fog, so gorgeous. I usually spend time taking landscape pictures, but the little details and the people around caught my attention more than usual ...
It was warm too for here, even though it looks freezing , there were lots of people swimming.
The sand was warm on our bare feet, who needs a pumice stone when you can walk for 2 hours on gritty sand ... nothing like it :)
Lots of people out with their horses too , it was really wonderful seeing them coming down the beach in the thick fog, so magical . At our house which is about 20 miles inland from the coast , it was in the 80's and dry heat ... so we were glad for the refreshing beach day and misty air.
