On the beach
A day out at the beach
Can fill you with joy
And teach you that you need to make time for rest –
And space for play and imagination.
Even when stripped down to the bare bones,
We still have a rusty beauty.
At the end of the day,
It is enough simply to be,
And to be who we are.

This so beautiful and serene!

Your children seem to be in awe of the waves and enjoying their holidays in the U.K.
July 30, 2012 at 15:43
I guess the wavy water was totally different from what your serene lake is like. Impressive waves!
July 30, 2012 at 16:20
Looks like a beautiful overcast day at the beach. Your pictures are wonderful, by the way.
July 30, 2012 at 16:23

I needed to have a beach moment, and there it is. Thank you for that.
Now that the kids are getting older are you going to change their nicknames from AB?

Ah, my favorite place is the beach — just about any beach! The waves are awesome and your captures are beautiful! I love seeing your children enjoying the beauty! Have a lovely week!
July 30, 2012 at 17:31
I love the shot with the two children facing the waves. Beautiful symbol of the vitality and energy of youth facing the waves of life. Lovely shots.

you have captured the spirit of the beach adventure beautifully~
July 30, 2012 at 20:31
I could not agree more, there is nothing like the beach to renew the spirit ~ thanks for following me over to wordpress. Darn Blogger decided after 5 years I was out of space, so I made the move.
July 30, 2012 at 21:08
What a great beach, but the water somehow looks cold!
July 30, 2012 at 21:15
I love the beach and water! Those waves looked pretty high. Is there an undertow there?
July 30, 2012 at 21:39
Beautiful, clear images, and meditative words. Thank you for this!

There is nothing as soothing as the sound of the waves on a beach.

That’s very close to where I am just now, in Eastbourne, I recognized the Pier in Brighton immediately ! The weather is still far to cool for the season, but at least the sun was shining when I sat at the beach there.
July 31, 2012 at 09:35
a perfect retreat in summer.
July 31, 2012 at 10:04

Lovely photos! Very serene.

‘Down to the barebones’! I can feel that lightness! Thanks for this Fiona.
August 1, 2012 at 01:52
That picture of the kids with their jackets on reminds me of Oregon beaches — they’d be right at home here . I love the serenity and natural beauty. Same with the ones here — the long flat sunbathing beaches (like in Florida) just don’t do it for me!
August 1, 2012 at 01:53
Love those waves!! I was at the beach yesterday, but it was a river, so no waves…
August 1, 2012 at 02:52
Lovely shot of the kids at the beach. With such hot weather, a trip to the beach is really inviting.
August 1, 2012 at 02:59
Too true!
August 1, 2012 at 03:51
Be who we are..good advice Lady Fi..and I needed that today. Thanks!
August 1, 2012 at 05:58
colorful and liked the shiny waters in the first picture
August 1, 2012 at 06:53
Lovely photo parable. The beach seems to have shells instead of sand.
August 1, 2012 at 08:02
The beaches on the south coast of England are all made up of pebbles!
August 1, 2012 at 08:36
I love water Fi, specially the sea. I liked your pictures of the children gazing at the ocea – Dave
August 1, 2012 at 11:48
I’m in awe of the dynamism of the waves and your children in front of them as a part of nature. Beautiful thoughts and beautiful photography as always.
August 1, 2012 at 13:36
I love Brighton! All shots are beautiful and that wave is fantastic.
August 1, 2012 at 17:38

So true! I wish I lived near the ocean. I’ll have to make do with a visit to the great lakes near Duluth, MN.
August 2, 2012 at 03:13
The beach is an irresistable reminder that life is beautiful and simple and wonderful.
August 2, 2012 at 04:55
Great pics! Even though it was not warm enough to get in, it still makes the beach seem so inviting!
August 2, 2012 at 09:20
I am struck by the power of the sea and the innocence of the children.
