have a picnic on the beach at sunrise (read all 2 entries…)
A bit late....... 11 months ago

Last weekend I had a fantastic picnic on a beach at the Northern end of Fraser Island. It was wonderful. I was taken in a friends (small) boat…without the slightest indication of sea sickness. It was a glorious day and we hopped out on the bank of a creek overlooking the bay. The sand was pure white, and the ocean so many shades of blue that I can’t describe it. A dingo came to visit (which put me a little on edge given that my fear of dogs is comparable to my fear of dentists) and watched the entire 4 hours or so we were there. It wasn’t sunrise at all but it was a great picnic, I can’t believe that I lived up there for 3 years and never had such an experience and it is only since I left 18 months ago that I have had the opportunity. There were only two things wrong, that I didn’t take my camera and I left my book behind, it would’ve been great to read while they were fishing.

jane is trying

this sounds amazing

I’m so glad you were able to have this experience. I think I might have to take on this goal… it just sounds so profoundly appealing.

Fraser Island

I loved it there! Although, I was probably about 10 or 11 when I went. I remember resolving to go back, although I think my interest diminished around the time of the dingo…situation.

ah me neither!!

I think that´s why I like having it as a goal. Seeing the sunrise of my own free will is such a monumental accomplishment for me. It´s so much easier to stay up late!

But I like the peace of feeling I´m the only one awake, morning or midnight. ; )

the Tijuana Estuary

from its California side, sometime after dawn…you can see Tijuana off in the hazy distance….

wait no, this was taken on New Year´s Eve I think, so it wasn´t in the morning. you´d think I could tell from the light!

Isn’t there just something simply peaceful about beaches early in the morning and in winter. I much prefer going at those times.

yes, they are completely different when left to themselves!

thank you

A. was just commenting that the way I managed to not get it quite in focus gives it a rather nice effect of having been painted. haha It was also very hazy that day.

Joeyzaza82 says okay, back to bed.

What a great experience

that must have been. You’ve got so many great goals, both current and completed. I wish you luck on all of them!
