Sounds of the sea


Scrunch scrunch scrunch
A shell!
Look at this one!
Let's dig
Sand in the fingernails
I'm going to build the BIGGEST sandcastle EVER!


Splish splash
Lots of rock pools
Look at the crab!
See?!
In there!

Up on Dad's shoulders
Now I can see ANTARCTICA!

Pretty pebbles for my collection
MUM LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

Fish and chips
One more dip

Feeling sleepy

I'm not tired really

Dad carries me back to the car

not tired...............

Sand
         in
             my
                   swimmers

Warm blanket in back seat
Pebbles in my pocket

Not .............. tired..........................................

  4. William - especially that kind of gritty sand!

    Martinealison - Thank you. I must admit I did get a bit contemplative by the water when I was taking the photos.

    Lynn - yes sand in the swimmers was a bit part of my childhood. :)

  7. Thanks Carol. ^_^

    Nothing beats a day at the beach Melissa. In Australia one must be 6 years old or less and perched on dads shoulders to see Antarctica :-D

  14. You've captured the spirit of time spent at the sea splendidly here. As much as I do dearly love living in a town that's sandwiched by two big lakes (with plenty more to be in the surrounding area), sometimes this Vancouver born gal does still yearn for the sea. It's been many years since I was last at the oceans, but have plans in the works to remedy that later this year (fingers crossed).

    Big hugs & joyful Easter weekend wishes,
    ♥ Jessica

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I do appreciate each and every one and will do my best to reply. I do apologise for the comment moderation I've been forced to put into place thanks to Mr Dark's spamming. It was not so much the spamming that bothered me - it was his appalling grammar.
