what you need for the perfect day at the perfect beach …

:: your best friend ::

:: your surfboard, thongs and hat ::

:: some stripey zinc ::

:: the red and yellow flag calling “swim here! swim here!” ::

:: plenty of sand for digging ::

:: Carol Ann’s picnic feast ::

:: watermelon – the perfect beach fruit ::

:: strange little bathing caps for the jars … apparently ::

:: a post lunch nap ::

:: an outgoing tide … and thus a whole new playground for the afternoon ::

:: rocks for sailing around ::

:: what was underwater this morning, now awaits exploration ::

:: crocodiles? ::

    What fantastic pictures! What a lovely day–I can almost feel the warmth (almost). My grandma had those little jar caps. I never could figure them out but they were awfully cute. This was in the days before info-mercials. I could imagine them now being sold by some loud announcer on an info-mercial. Something like “don’t lose your lid, use cute jar caps instead!”

    What a beautiful photo essay. Hard to believe it is Christmas down under.

    This is so weird seeing your Christmas in the sand and warmth, so so strange. I got up this morning to many inches of snow and freezing cold. It is like a breath of fresh air to see this.

    What a fun day! Wish we were having beach weather instead of winter days again in December! Did you stop for the right color thread on the way home??

    Hi there! What a lovely trip to the beach! Those jar caps look so good! Believe me or not, but people here in Finland also go to swim now in icy lake water!!! I prefer sunny weather and real beach!!! I just stopped painting and sewing. I have to sleep some hours before I go to work…

    Thanks for the well wishes for my shop.

    The beach pictures are lovely. We are headed for the beach next week. I just hope the weather is as nice for us. We are sick of the rain we have had for the past couple weeks.
    :)
