In early November, my parents, my brother and our friend Kate came out to visit us for an early Thanksgiving. We decided to take a day and visit both Penrose Point and Joemma Beach State Parks because they are quite close to one another. We hit Penrose Point first and had a wild and cold walk on the trails where we watched the shore being buffeted by waves. When we arrived at Joemma Beach we were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with calm air and still waters, such a contrast the beach we were at just at a few minutes earlier!
(I was enraptured by the water's deep shade of green)
We ate our picnic lunch, strolled along the rocky beach, and searched the clear water for little crabby critters. The water was absolutely phenomenal; it was clear, calm, and the most vibrant shade of green I have ever seen. With the steely grey sky reflecting off of the surface of the waves, this beach provided beautiful artistic opportunities for me. My dad and I spent most of our time scoping out subjects for me to photograph and we had a blast doing so.

My family and I really enjoyed the peacefulness that this park offers in the off-season. We loved being able to walk along the wild, rocky beach that was covered in pinecones, pine needles, driftwood and broken shells and to gaze out onto the quiet cove of Joemma Beach State Park.
