Saying who and where I am for those who would want to know… a diary for myself, friends and family… so much of the world to discover… I hope anyone who reads enjoys.

Happiness – I am late with taking up this photo-challenge. I think happy is not something to capture, it is not a feeling, much more a state of mind with so many feelings all moving in various ways. Sort of now you see it, now you don’t. Yesterday evening on Ballard’s beach, which is behind the harbour breakwater, daughter-in-law, two grand-daughters and Finn the dog showed me some “happy”. October by the sea is utterly wonderful.
This is a public Diary but still a stream of consciousness, so what is written re thoughts/feelings at any one time might be not what I think/feel generally, though it could be. It could have been a moody moment, good or bad. The actions are real though. If I have written about something that happened, it did happen.

I am absolutely terrible with a camera. If I go anywhere I merely buy some post cards and must be satisfied with that.
I used to be terrible – now I have an iphone and it works – I can take loads of respectable photos and better still it does not take away from the experience of being with the subjects, I do not have to fiddle with it. I always get postcards at galleries, museums etc – far far better reminders than I can take with any camera
Now thats beach happy.
Good for everyone. Thanks for the comment
Fabulous
Finn and Jake seem to have this in common. They keep the rest of us well occupied. Amazing how they quickly become so much more than ‘just a dog’.
quite the happy beach
Oh, I am envious. Fabulous pictures, the happiness is infectious, Elspeth!
thankyou – October here is glorious, even if there isn’t much else to do besides beach!
