Summer days on the beach seem a long and distant memory now, as the haws ripen and the rain falls. As a family, beach days are one of our favourite types of days. Even a winter walk on the beach can be exhilarating. I am not sure what the magic is. It has something to do with the space and freedom – there are few boundaries. The smell, that ozone filling your nostrils. The feel of the sand on your bare feet. And of course the water, even if it is just a paddle that numbs your toes.
So for this week’s One A Week Photo challenge, a gallery of beach photos to help me remember some of those great days.
Love these images on what looks like a deserted beach. Yes – beach walks in Winter are wonderful.

No quite deserted – but if you walk far enough from the car park it is always easy to find a quiet spot!

It’s the soothing relaxation that comes with being bathed in negative ions. The beach is balm for the body and soul. That crab looks formidable!

It is hard to say goodbye to summer. Autumn is fine but I don’t like the short term days of winter. Hurry on spring!

You’re right… looking out to the endless horizon still feels like magic. Plus all the things one may discover in the sand/pebbles.
