When planning yesterday's mini adventure to the (amazing) beach/woods (what a combo!) I of course took notice of the weather and wore whatever the hell I fancied, which yes, I later regretted. Big time! But ah well. It was such an extremely windy day that I had to layer up on ALL the random accessories I have lying around my car (ok, maybe not all, as that would be 3 hats, 1 flowery poncho, slingback clogs, cowboy boots, a candy stripe patterned umbrella and 2 scarves). As we climbed the dunes to the beach, you could hear the roar of the wind, and on the beach itself it looked like sheets of sand flying. I tried to capture that in the photos, but I don't think you can really see how spectacular this was!
I look like the shape of a Christmas tree in this shadow shot. Too many accessories maybe?!
We couldn't believe this piece of driftwood was able to withstand the wind.
Flying sand. Basically, all the lighter, more yellowy coloured bits are flying sand!
More flying sand.
Our footprints.
Time for the woods! This is my favourite area of the whole park (which is massive). Being there takes me right back to childhood, and running around playing games and feeling totally freeee (i.e. without responsibility!) It was so nice to just wander and snap photos, taking it all in! I actually got reeeeally annoyed when we bumped into other people, as though they were stepping on my own personal land. Ah well.
It took a solid team effort to free my scarf from this nettle. I wasn't sure if we'd all get out alive to be honest! Tee hee!!
I love the orange colour of these buds. (or are they berries?!) It looked so pretty next to all the brown leaves and bare branches.
If only I could climb!
Sorry for such a photo heavy post (and that's the edited version!)
bye for now, gwynypie xo
