WPC: My local beach

One of the grandest luxuries of my new home (well, fourth year running) is our local sandy beach. It is 12 km long and less than 2 km away from home. Since it is a part of WWF Nature Reserve, it is wild and in the off-season mostly deserted, if you don’t count optimistic off-shore fishermen.

Sometimes there are even parents, remembering their childhood expeditions. Lovely to see.

But first, a short end-of-the-week reminder of my posts in the last seven days:

1. First I showed you my cake and mom’s ikebana, a lovely start of my parents’ visit.
2. As H2O goes, sometimes there is plenty of it as below so above and then they merge – images of Talamone before the storm.
3. I decided to hop on Monday Windows challenge to bring you some doors, pardon, windows of Piran.
4. Our successful autumn feast hopping had a special wooden discovery – a Pinocchio in waiting.
5. And on Thursday there were three door images from each of the five towns we visited.

And now I invite you to my local beach. How I would have laughed years ago in disbelief if somebody had told me I’d have one.

Do not rubbish.

The view to the south.

To the west.

To the north.

Father is on a mission.

And he has a nice bag (mom’s).

Mom on the lookout for wood for her art projects. The last piece she brought had an inhabitant – a bumble bee she named after her favourite rapper.

Bestia wishing to round them up like sheep.

Ansedonia peninsula with Etruscan ruins.

Porto Ercole, if I’m not mistaken. Such visibility is rare.

Monte Argentario peninsula and mountain.

These little islands called the Ants rarely appear as close.

Mom showing her find.

Father capturing the moment.

This is the Tyrrhenian Sea. Yes, I had to google it for spelling.

It is rarely as calm.

The sand is dark and very hot in the summer.

Little shells mark the wave span.

Amazing what sand comes down to.

This expedition is over. The collectors seem pleased. Till next time!
