Day 188 2015: The beach...
Day 188: ...as the light fades on the day
The Beach. The beach and I get along very well, in fact, we were made for each other. It is without doubt my favourite place--for quiet, for thinking, for reflection, for walking, swimming, surfing...and, of course, photographing.
It was such a glorious winter's day today that I decided on the way up to work that I would work extra hard to get away with enough time between the end of work drive and tai chi to check out the beach. And I did.
And I took photos. several, 61 in fact.
There was no surf. It was flat as. A couple of paddle boards, a few long boards, a snorkeler, a shag, a dog or three.

Receding... |
After an intense couple of weeks of assessing and some writing and class preparation coming up, it was the perfect tonic. I was so relaxed, I ended up ding a tai chi set there and then, on my own, in public. How very SunCoast.
