have a picnic on the beach at sunrise (read all 4 entries…)
A bit late....... 15 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 give away what you lack

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.

: ) Thank you for inspiring me to do this goal, Restless!

Though I haven´t quite made it to the beach at sunrise technically….

I thought you might like to see some of the evidence <[: )

ps that´s not me of course ;P

Axx

That looks fantastsic

Glad you decided to do this though between you and me, I still haven’t made it at sunrise yet.

Kalibebti all familyed out

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. ; )

I see the sunrise most days

....... just not at the beach with a picnic!

Kalibebti all familyed out

commuting?

or are you just one of those incredible “morning people”? ; )

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.

Kalibebti all familyed out

yes, they are completely different when left to themselves!

you´re absolutely right, it´s a different feeling altogether

snowy egret or heron??

at the estuary (which is just inland from the beach)

Axx

I love that photo :)

Kalibebti all familyed out

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.

Axx

That's

why I like it! :)

And then there was four ... electricity, magnetism, and love. The only 3 types of magic that exist

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!

Axx

Thank you

on both counts, it was a great experience, one I will never forget.

I need all the luck I can get as far as my goals are concerned so your wishes in that area are gratefully appreciated ;)
