Yes Tiz. A great beach day. There is a protected area on this beach for the nesting birds so great for photos. Was a bit sad a few days later because a king tide washed away the sand scaping nests!
Beautiful little drama going on :) Looks like a perfect day on the beach!
I wish you a great 2014 Kerry :)
