Yesterday Hugh suggested we have a few hours at a nearby beach, Waitarere, not too far to drive, had very comfortable chairs to sit on, and that water to look at, paddle in, so refreshing. Some swimmers, a lady with her little toddler on a surfboard, no photo of this, as by then the fog and mist rolled in right past the shoreline. This was our day. Just click on the photo for a title.
When we left, the fog rolled in, way past the shoreline, to float over the land, Wellington Airport was closed once again, and we arrived home to 33 Celsius, no breeze, and ate cold watermelon on the back steps!!!
Quotation of the day, Anonymous,
“Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after
our footprints in the sand are washed away by the incoming tide”

Beautiful day you had. What hot wheather you have!!! Oh gosh!! Must have been nice with the breeze ...
We have still very Little of sun. Hope for some sun soon. We have rather warm about +3-5 C
Jean, this is gorgeous. I can picture myself there...and hear and smell the ocean!
Thanks for taking me to the beach, Jean. Hope you're feeling better. Cold here!
There's nothing better than Watermelon on a sweltering day!
At least you had a refreshing break for a wee while at the lake.
What a lovely day at the beach. Jean, this is a fantastic place for rest and relaxation. Wonderful to watch the beautiful colors of nature.
Greetings :)
The beach looks lovely. It is a balmy -1C today, so I enjoyed the pictures a lot!
We get sea fog sometimes about a mile in from the water. Such a force of nature.
Beautiful blue ocean. I wished I were there to soak my feet in the sand.
Sounds like a lovely and peaceful day at the beach. Beautiful images, I wish I could be there!
What a perfectly lovely day you two had together.

More cold and rain on the way for us, and it makes me so envious of the beautiful day you had!
So relaxing to imagine sitting at the beach. By seeing your pics.
What a great day out - we have had drizzle or light rain for most of the week. Great not having to keep watering the garden but I am ready for some sunshine now.
Oh how absolutely lovely! The driftwood "sculptures" look so similar to what we build on our beach in the summer. Eating watermelon in February seems so odd, we are still drinking hot chocolate! What a great day out!
Beach looks fab.
Watermelon, yum oh. I always say it's not summer until I've had watermelon.
Hope you're feeling better

Thank you all, it was a lovely quiet restful time, just to sit and hear the waves, and watch the water, Sometimes nature provides all you need to restore inner peace and comfort. I did a short video but there was too much wind noise, next time will need to try and muffle that. Cheers, Jean.
What a beautiful and relaxing day! I hope that you are healing well.
What a beautiful day this sounds like it has been! Love the beach photos. It makes me miss the times when our children were small and we would take a trip to the beach every year.
