We grew up spending our summers at the beach.
Our grandparents had a family cabin that we visited.
My parents would bring us out after school ended in
June & we'd stay until the end of August. Bliss!
My dh & I had a few hours before our show on
Friday, so we took a trek out to the beach.
A brush fire had just started & later in the day,
made the evening news. Very scary!
Right by the train tracks. Maybe a train spark?
Driving away from the fire.
The beach emerges from the tiny town.
My favorite spot where the waves crash together.
The big pier, on a quiet, but very hot day.
Crossing waves.
Cooling off at the pointe.
Loved the crashing waves cooling me down.
Sea weed & soft sand.
Sinking feet.
Footsteps in the sand.
The pointe, with a bit of the pier showing. An hour
after taking this shot, the beach was crowded.
Sailboat doing a lazy dance across the water.
A lone seagull walking along the waves.
Do you have beach memories from your childhood?
Absolutely! I grew up in Washington, and we spend lots of summer weekends at the Washington & Oregon coast. Now we have a vacation house on the coast, and it's my favorite destination. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting! We'd love a little cottage over looking the ocean. One day!!
ReplyDeleteMy childhood holiday memories are mostly land locked, but we lived in the far north of Scotland for some years, and on a sunny summers day we sometimes went to the beaches along the north coast. They were amazing, and pretty much deserted.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great place to visit Penny!
