"SHORE SIGHTS AND DELIGHTS" - DRIFTWOOD, SAND SCULPTURES, STARFISH AND PEOPLE'S ACTIVITIES AT EDMONDS BEACH -

PHOTOGRAPHS BY LEE LAGESCHULTE

Tim & I are delighted to present to you another post featuring Lee Lageschulte’s wonderful photography. The NESTER published her first post over three years ago about a road trip and within 6 months the subjects of her photographs included gardens, festivals, parks and walks in Edmonds where she lives. Of course, Lee snapped photos of Edmonds Beach. What’s fun about beaches is that they are always changing! With each season, storm, and tide, the beach can be a brand new experience. Even the people change from year to year. This year’s children with sand, shovels, and pails are next year’s adolescents. This year’s parents are next year grandparents. Last year’s driftwood is rearranged and offers new possibilities for sculptures. And so, Lee and her husband Roger offer you visual treats of Edmonds beach in 2025.

BEACH SIGHTS SCULPTURES STARFISH

Natural materials are abundant on the beach, and inspire a variety of creative efforts using driftwood and damp sand.

The damp sand is such a perfect medium for children to use as sculptures. Using buckets, shovels and small objects in the process results in amazing construction of sea creatures.

Exploring by rocks and under piers at low tide gives us a closeup view of colorful starfish in many positions.

BEACH DELIGHTS

On a hot summer day, our feet cool off by walking on wet sand, maybe wading and watching waterfront scenes, like people relaxing under the shade of colorful beach umbrellas.
