It's been a busy week. In Wales the Urdd Eisteddfod in Aberaeron just North of where we live has been running all week, and for various reasons we have been in attendance for a number of days. Between that, half term, managing the smallholding and work I've struggled tyo put fingers to keyboard.
However, in one of these outings I was able to have an enjoyable few minutes with my two daughters (whilst son attended a creative writing class). We went down to the beach at Aberaeron, the tide was going out and the son was shining.
It was glorious listening to the rattle of surf, followed by moments of complete silence, whilst my girls tried to find spots of sand (on a rocky beach) and stones for skimming. What struck me most though was the teeming life everywhere. Periwinkle shells, fish and crustaceans moved around the shallow rock areas. With the sun reflecting of the water like diamonds I was struck by the views that could be had. Considering myself an amateur photographer I used my mobile phone camera to capture some shots.
In those moments I was able to lose myself and just absorb the atmosphere; a vibrant and uncluttered sky, protecting a gentle yet powerful surf, whilst we took on the roles of biologists searching for life hidden amongst the barren land of rocks and pools.
Sadly duties called and we had to bring our explorations to an end, but we all enjoyed those moments and we will return again.
