Lovely photos of summer! I can smell the sea and hear the seagulls!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the sea and seeing the yachts sailing, but that's as far it goes for me, I don't have good sea legs , when we lived by the coast in England, I left the sailing to Mr France and our son. Lovely photos. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blues indeed! :) Only 4 more days til my birthday! Happy new week!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting lighthouse. Surprising that it's been standing for so long as it looks rather frail. Beautiful skyline shot. I remember reading Jonathon Livingston Seagull when I was very young. I often think of that book when I see seagulls flying too ;)

ReplyDeleteMy dear Shane,
ReplyDeleteI love those seaside photos and I love lighthouses since my childhood, when I lived in Turkey nearby a lighthouse, you know.
I can smell the salt on my lips, the silky wind in my hair and the sun on my skin when I watch your photos. I wish I could be there. Are you sailing too?
Wish you lazy summer days.

Pretty pictures of the sea, Shane, especially the lighthouse one. I got a chance to see the ocean when I visited Jess' home in November. The ocean is always a lovely place to visit, always so peaceful.
