Up high, by the sea

We discovered a new spot by the sea this weekend: up high, almost in the sky, away from the buzz and activity down on the beach. We’d stopped by the local supermarket beforehand, and so we sat, eating delicious buns whilst watching a single pink cloud float across the sky. The boys sat perfectly on the bench. In the waters below, we could spot a few swimmers daring enough to brave the cold. A group of local tradesmen were gathered behind us, happy that it was the weekend. I felt the breeze, smelled the sea, and drank in God’s creation. It was wonderful.

I have a Canon EOS 40D with a 1.8 50mm lens but most of the photos on this blog – including this one – are taken using my iPhone camera!

Hi Debbie,
We’ve only recently moved here and am indeed loving being near the sea. And yes, we love Jamie to bits…. I call him my little blondie as his hair takes after his dad!

Hey Cory,
I took this photo using my iPhone 4S camera! Most of the photos on the blog are taken by my iPhone because that’s the camera I have with me all the time. I honestly don’t get to tote around my Canon EOS much these days, much as I would like to…

Soak on…

What a gorgeous photo! We live about 10 minutes from the beach but I hardly ever think to go. Which we should because my little one LOVES the water and watching the waves!

Hi Jen,
Thanks for stopping by. We only recently moved into the area, and yes, our little boys love seeing the ocean and walking on the sand….

Hi Erin,
I hope one day you can! Being close to the sea is new to us and we don’t know how long we’ll be here, so we’re try to make the most of it. So lovely of you to visit here.

Beautiful photo! I always feel so tiny when I’m by the ocean (in a good way). I agree with Gesche and love what you said!
