Day 21 - Beach

Sunday - the sun is shining, the water is sparkling and despite the fact I have a stack of jobs to do around the house, I'm out of the house for a long walk on the beach.  One of the things I love most about living on the coast is the fact that the beach is so close to me know, I am a total beach bum, I love the sand, I love the surf and try to get there as often as I physically can.  Today I decided to go for a longer drive (20 mins as opposed to 10) to visit Kilcare Beach - in the 90's many a NYE was spent partying at this beach and I thought it would be nice to go somewhere different,  I should warn you this post is photo heavy!

After about 3 hours of aimless wandering and over 200 photo's later, I had walked from one end of the beach to the other, the surf was pumping, there was lots of people out with their dogs, the fishermen were catching giant fish and the weather held out until I got back to the car which was great!  

Being at the beach and listening to the surf is like my form of meditation, and having this "me" time was good for the soul as I could experiment with my photography and think about a few things that are playing on my mind, however it still would have been nice to share such a beautiful day with someone else (the disadvantage of not having many friends on the coast).  The only bad thing was that the surf was riddled with blue bottles so I only got my feet wet once - the water was beautiful but I don't like stingers so spent most of the day walking the soft sand, which after yesterday's post is probably a good thing, my calf muscles are killing me as I write this post. - Donna
