September 26. Day 269. Beaches


 Back in my youth I would have considered today to be a fairly crap beach day. It wasn't all that warm, not great swimming weather and it was particularly blustery. But now I am older and wiser and know better. Besides, neither the fur friend nor the teenager were likely to take no for an answer so the beach it was both at dawn and dusk to bookend the day. The wind did mean I spent an insane amount of time removing my hair from my face but on the upside, my ball throwing skills are far superior with wind assistance plus a strong breeze makes for excellent kite flying. And Drama Teen and I did get quite a laugh out of the large number of blue bottles that looked rather like bright blue penises. Perhaps I might be older and wiser but clearly there's still a silly child in there.

  2. I just had to look up blue bottle jellyfish as we don't get them in the UK. Didn't realise they were the Portugese Man'O War - that's the one jellyfish everyone here has heard of due to their infamous sting! It never even occurred to me they'd be blue so I've learnt something new today :-) #countrykids

  3. It's great that even though it was cold and not a great day for the beach you still had a great day out exploring with Drama Teen. Blue bottle jellyfish are such an interesting colour, it's great that you can joke about things like this with your daughter too. It looks like you all had a brilliant time at the beach for a day that wasn't the perfect condition for it. Thanks for linking up with me on Country Kids.

  4. LOL I did think the jelly fish looked very phallic in that first shot. Beautiful photos. I love beach days like this as it's generally less crowded. #countrykids
