Last day on the beach

Today was my last day on the beach of the 5 weeks here in Lewes. This was the 27th castle I built, each one different. I met new people, and was happy to see old friends, as well.
God willing, I will be back next August, to build sandcastles.

The rain came

I was just about finished my castle #25 yesterday, at 3pm, watching a big gray cloud that the forecaster said would bring some rain to Lewes Beach at 7:00 last night. The rain started right at 3; a few drops at first, and a lot heavier. I gathered up buckets and carving tools, and took a picture of the now impressionistic looking castle, which the rain softened. Here it is💦 (I admit it looked a lot better than I did, after the rain got me!)

the rain came hard, but only lasted less than 10 minutes, before the sun came back

Lovely on the beach today

Tomorrow will be the end of 4 weeks here. I will have one more week after this one. Here is Castle # 24. I like this one a lot.
