It was the perfect evening for a quiet walk along the beach...
The air was still, and beautiful clouds touched with pink and orange filled the slowly darkening sky.
The beach was almost deserted and no sound, save the crash of the waves upon the shore, could be heard...
After visiting our dear friend in Tergniet on Sunday afternoon, we went for a walk along the beach till the sun started to go down...
"Live in the sunshine,
swim in the sea,
drink the wild air."

^Even Timmy, our rescue Jack Russel, came along for a walk...he loves the beach.
I am so glad I took my new camera along...the ocean is a wonderful place to capture beautiful moments.
There is something so deeply refreshing about being at the ocean...
"Forget not that the earth delights
to feel your bare feet and the winds
long to play with your hair."
- Kahil Gibran
^Little Caleb always enjoys being at the beach, even if it is just for a walk.
"So be truly glad
there is wonderful joy ahead
even though you have to endure
many trials for a little while.
- 1 Peter 1:6 
^Moments after this picture was taken and we had made our way back to the shore, this rock was completely covered in water!
I love making memories with my family and treasuring them for years to come.
Life goes by so fast that moments like these are precious indeed.

I hope that all is well in your corner of the world, dear readers!
My week is off to a fairly good start; I have an art project planned which I hope to do with the children tomorrow, and this evening little Mia is coming for a short visit. Even though I au pair for another family now, I still keep up regular visits with Mia as the two of us have a special bond and I miss being with her each day.
And now I must be off as I want to sow pea seeds in the new patch I cleared in my garden, and I also have sweet potato runners which need to be planted.
What have you been up to lately?
Blessings,
Kelly-Anne
What a splendid post, dear Kelly-Anne! Oh, I love the beach, especially when it is practically empty and you can really just soak up the sound of crashing waves. I'm sure you all had a lovely time ♥
ReplyDeleteHope your week is beautiful, sweet friend! I'll be sending you an email soon! Much love, as always ♥
Oh yes, dear friend! Empty beaches are my favourite too!
DeleteI hope you are doing well and that your week is off to a lovely start...sending hugs!
Beautiful photos you have shared, as well as lovely thoughts, I agree making memories like these is what really matters, memories like these will carry us through the good times and the not so good times, and when we view them the photos will take us back to that very moment no matter how much time has passed, keep making and sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and for your sweet comment.

Dear Sue, I so appreciate you taking the time to leave me a note!
DeleteAlways lovely to "meet" new readers!
Great shots, Kelly-Anne. You really do have an eye for photography.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you, Margie! I just love photography...it is my absolute favourite thing to do!
DeleteHope you're well!
Such beautiful photos of the sea, Kelly-Anne. The octopus was so interesting. I love how the sunlight shines on the water in your photos. You know, Jess lives only five minutes from the ocean and visits often. I long to see the ocean again - it's been far too long. I'm glad you got a chance to see your dear friend. The verse by Peter is very special. Thanks for taking me along with you at the sea, Kelly-Anne. Mia is also the name of my granddaughter. ; )
