In the pavilion are the fixings for a classic barbecue
beginning with beer --and plenty of it

but the beach itself (looking west) was deserted except for the birds.
Lots of birds. The terns have little teeny tiny legs and walk very quickly.
The seagull wants out of the picture.
Reflections on wet sand.
Lots of people by the lifeguard stands
and brothers making a castle
with a tunnel that the seawater runs through
until it collapses as these things tend to.
The life guard adopts a quaisi-heroic posture
as the firemen cook on the world's biggest grill.
A pavilion full of beer sounds like a rather fine thing! Love the bird shadow photo.
ReplyDeletecold beer & firemen...spells trouble...i do love the birdy beach shots...makes one dream...of warmer places...where the sun shines...where there's cold beer...oh, the trouble!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant sun and classic beach shore views. Thank you for having that camera with you, and hoping that you and yours also had loads of sunscreen at the ready.

Oh lovely photos of the beach, Elizabeth. I think that first photo is worthy of framing. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo story, the birds
ReplyDeleteplaced perfectly in semi random zig zags...
That first picture is a work of art, iconic!
ReplyDeleteThe whole series shows a wonderful day by the beach, a day I suppose we'd all love to share with you or drem about. Thank you! xxx

So people obviously feel safer by the lifeguards and probably there are loos and food in the vicinity. I like the deserted bit best.
