Sometimes when things seem to be moving along way too fast, it's good to take a time out and just chill with a friend and contemplate the big picture, I can't be certain what these two were thinking about (well I can if what they say is true haha!) but whatever, they were enjoying a companionable time together... Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes for Aimee yesterday, she had a brilliant day surrounded by aunties, uncles, cousins and babies...Aimee as a pirate captain is a hard act to follow, I'm not sure if these shots are going to cut it, but *French shrug* what can you do.....! I see on the news that the weather in the northern hemisphere is horrendously cold, a very frightening situation. My heart breaks for the homeless and can only hope that somehow they are being cared for at times like this, realistically knowing that there will be lost souls out there with no one. One thing is for sure, no matter how hot it is here I will never complain about the weather again!! I hope that your weekend is going well.....
One of my favorite pastimes! Fishing, relaxing on the beach! Great shots - I love the way you took us back from the closeup to the far away shot...nice feeling! Happy day!
ReplyDeleteDifferent from my ice fishing photo. Looks just a bit warmer here.
ReplyDeleteMy girls are in Perth for an extended weekend, Grace. One of Kirsten's aunts is turning 60 ... big knees up there, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat terrific captures, Grace! I do love those big waves breaking on the beach and those guys do look like they are enjoying themselves!! Hope your weekend is going well! Enjoy!

It's very cold in Europe and especially in Russia, but balmy for the season on this side of the Atlantic. I admire these two gentlemen. I do not do nothing well. There will be a chance to improve my idleness skills in a setting like this next month. We'll see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI could sit on a beach and just look at the sea for hours and fishing gives you a reason to be doing it! Nice one Grace. It is pretty warm here for Feb. +4C and no snow at all - balmy!
ReplyDeleteLove this post. Your image is wonderful Grace. We have been surprised by a mild Winter here, Winter nevertheless.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much a fisherman but, I do recall one day when a friend and I took our books and spread a blanket on the beach and read for one or two hours. I loved the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. It was wonderful relaxation.
ReplyDeleteI really could use a day like that for that matter I could use a vacation.
ReplyDeleteAh! So nice spending time with YOU-

Haven't been fishing for many, many years because the only thing i ever catch is a cold and i find fishing boring :-).
ReplyDeleteThese young fellows don't look like they are interested in working very hard. Catching fish might not be that important.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses, hang on, the sea air? Is it fish I smell?
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, Grace!
The sea! The sea! I wanna be by the sea!
ReplyDeleteI'll happily join them.
ReplyDeleteChilly on the beach...can't imagine a better way to spend my time :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture - nice atmosphere here on the blog - I have to follow here and learn more about Perth.
ReplyDelete:-) Dorthe from Denmark
I'd like to be there...
ReplyDeleteperhaps a book instead of the fisherman tool (I don't know how it is called...sorry)
enjoy the Sunday, ciao
Very nice peaceful shots.
ReplyDeleteNice picture, but when I see those men fishing I am always wandering why on earth they do like it. I can't imagine myself sitting there and looking at one point for hours. Men are sometimes weird...
ReplyDeleteFishin! One of my 'mysteries of life'... just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteOh I am in need of a day or two like this, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat's bliss I say!
ReplyDeleteSnow here at last, yay, another form of bliss (though I'm trying to not think of getting to work tomorrow!!!)
Life is beach, Grace. Thanks for sharing yours.
ReplyDeleteI think these guys are the same all around the world. I usually see their local counterparts fishing in our harbor...
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though catching a fish would be an unwelcome and unnecessary intrusion into their peaceful day. Nice picture.
ReplyDeleteNot my cup of tea but the top shot is great!
ReplyDeleteA terrific way to spend part of a day. You caught a wonderful "slice of life" photo.
ReplyDeleteChilling out!
ReplyDeletelovely pics!
Did you think you'd hear them better the farther away you got? ;-))
ReplyDeleteI can remember doing exactly that - fishing on a beach. It was great fun at the time, but I wouldn't do it anymore. I have photos to take! :-)
Re your comment about the weather: No, it's not cold here. We're in central Florida so it gets colder than south Florida (which is subtropical) but today it's sunny and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It will be in the 80s all week. At night it goes down into the 50s so it's just about perfect!
Enjoy the warmth before climate change changes everything and the cold moves your way!
It must be very relaxing, I have to try too!!
ReplyDeleteP. S. Go from my blog that there is a prize for you
I like the beach but I don't like fishing. What would I do if I caught one? I suppose I would have to take it off the hook. Aaaaggghh.
ReplyDeleteje veux bien un peu de détente à regarder la mer
ReplyDeletepar contre je ne pêche pas
A la belle saison, il y a des pêcheurs, ici, au bord de la mer. Mais, en ce moment, ils gèleraient sur place. Le froid est terrible.
ReplyDeleteBonne fin de journée!
These guys have chilling out down to a fine art :-)
