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 it's not so bad.

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.

Zooey

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. ; )

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

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

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.
