An island escape
Goose stepping without the guilt
Free from all shackles
Fragile yet fearless
Fed on the ocean’s plenty
Simple paradise
Wistful

I have one pretty near in the UK too, Jess, but it doesn’t have quite the same magic. 🙂

How nice! Two beaches… Love the pictures of the footprints. Bet birds would never guess how many times humans photograph them and admire their beauty and grace. 🙂

Ah the Algarve. Such a beautiful part of the world. Love the blues and taupe colors in your photos. It is immediately relaxing, just taking in the colors…and of course the overall environment.

No idea what to post today, Jude, so I had a browse. How could you not want to be there? I’ve forgotten how it feels to wear shorts 😦

Cracking haiku sweetheart, you put lazy me to shame. I’d love to sea a beautiful star fish like that, preferably in the water though.

Thanks, darlin’. 🙂 I had an idea in my head but not sure that I got it right. Not sleeping well because I’m in pain. You know how that goes! Hip/back… I’m a poor old soul at the minute 🙂
