Down at the Beach

Written by Nikki-ann on Saturday, 26 January , 2008 at 6:49 pm

The rain finally held off today, so I took the opportunity to go for a drive and take some photos. I ended up at Borth & Ynyslas (about an hour away from home).

Testing the Water

It was cold and windy, but that didn’t stop some people enjoying the beach. One family braved putting their feet in the old Irish Sea water, while others were flying kites (perfect weather for it!).

I LOVE these pictures Nikki-Ann….you get such a feeling of the place and the wether, too….Like it’s on the verge of possibly raining again any minute….! The Kites look like flyng Bananas in some of those pictures (lol)….
Here, the sun is out and almost no sign of the ‘heavy rain’ they told us would be forthcoming today….though, that could ALL change at a moments notice….lol!

As someone who grew up on the shores of Southeast Alaska, I miss looking out at the ocean. It’s always so restful on the eyes. Thanks for sharing these, Nikki-ann!

Great pics! They really show a cold day at the beach having fun :) I especially like the large one of the family with the reflections on the wet sand.

BTW - if you pop over to my blog there is a surprise waiting for you! Congrats :)

I LOVE the beach on a cold winter day. We find the best shells here on days like that! I like seeing your beach. :)
