Blandford Peninsula

Seriously, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven

when we arrived at this postcard-like beach

with a church on the right

an old farmhouse nestled in the grove of trees on the left

and

the warm waters lapping the shore.

With all that and more

my needs were more basic

fetching time

and

exercise.

Shallow ~~~ Yes

with a quick drop off

with plenty of time to do my dog paddle

Aaaahh
now that feels so great.

What is Jim doing way down the beach?
You can hardly see us.

 Oh I see.
A perfect moment for some brilliant yellow ochre seaweed pictures.

Queen Anne's Lace is making itself very visible

and yes
another rugosa rose to smell.

This beach calmly lulls us as we seek out seaglass
and I practice my stroke improvement.

Here is a short moment (6 minutes short
also a much better view full screen)
of us playing with Mr. Orangie
and
seeing/hearing in the distance some loons.
 Pay super close attention
and rewind if you miss the sound.

Love the sound of loons!!

STOP and Smell the Roses

On 'DoodleNose' alert 

on 'soft perfume of rose' alert

The fog has descended upon us after a few days of humid hot weather.

But look what I found 

Everywhere 

The fresh aroma of these delectables is smothering the trail.

Over abundance of this wild rose is always welcome.

We've been walking for a half hour with non-stop fragrance.

These roses like the fog, the coolness freshens up their faces

and just makes the walk so much more interesting.

This 'lovely' is dappled in fog dew,

so beautiful.

My solo meanders into tall grasses 

finds me in the middle of more

pink blossoms.

I really did stop and smell the roses this evening.

  Beauty is all around me and you,

so take advantage 

when the time is present.
