A swift walk on the beach.

in #hive-1064443 years ago

I call it a swift walk because you will see some Swift Terns in action.

A Happy Friday to all and I hope things are better at your end than what they are here.

We took an early walk in stormy weather on the beach and it was high tide, so I decided to focus on the terns, as they were a bit closer to the beach.
The photos in here are all fresh from my camera and I hope that you will like this presentation today.
Come and have a look.

The gull was racing the flying cormorant, but something caught the gull's attention.

A fish!

So lovely to breathe the ocean air at the start of our day before going to work. It is a real uplifting experience, especially as we are in the midst of some problems. Thankfully nothing serious and just life's habit to grab at us at times. The ocean is the place where one can have the freedom to think rationally, as the waves and the birds talk to me.
Things will be as they are meant to be and like the birds we have to manage every opportunity. The waves sing their up and down song to tell me that life is also like this. Sometimes things in life are up and then they are down. Just the way of life.

And That's All Friends.

Getting down to the beach is long overdue here, E.coli found in river and sea sorry no walks at the moment!

Enjoyed your tumultuous thoughts with birds racketeering on shoreline, hope whatever has rocked your boat is minor problem.

Happy Friday,
!LUV to family

Oh yes, I read about the E.coli problems there and it's bad news. One can only wonder at what effects it will eventually have, as it is a continual problem.

Thank you and it was a great half an hour.
Still torn in two at the moment and I hate having to take decisions that I don't like.

Hope that you guys will also have a good weekend my friend.

!LUV and !hivebits

Shit on land, in rivers and sea, more than anyone would believe possible!

New problems around every corner of late!

Making pots of soup, chicken with noodles for families to enjoy over what is promised a slightly wet weekend.

!LUV
!LOLZ Ginger, turmeric, garlic, chilli to keep the demons at bay.....

Bad out there and let's just hope that they can get it all right before December. Which I doubt.

Same here and also in crypto my friend.

A secret to share with you, I don't eat soup. Had a bad childhood experience and never touched soup again.

!LUV
!LOLZ We put all of those in a drink.

A couple of pots filled with spices, vegetables and meat more a thick dinner with more liquid than usual, able to bottle to take to others.

End of the month with take a slow drive with eldest son to St Lucia for a week, he has not been well of late so break should do both of us the world of good.

!LUV

We have 6 pots at Papillon that are as big as small swimming pools and our soup feeds hundreds of people in the poor areas Lady Joan. Especially during the cold winters here.

So great to hear and yes, a trip to St. Lucia will be good medicine.

!LUV

Big pots like that working out of NGO NPO places, we support by supplying ingredients.

Where people have water this method has become popular here....

Private home I make biggish pots enough to feed a few families in the neighbourhood.

Looks very healthy Lady Joan and yes, specially balanced meals that can be made with cold water is of the essence. We supply balanced meals in big bags to the schools (21) in the area that can last for a full year's meals.

Here at home we only make food parcels.

It would be wonderful to have a walk on the beach in the morning before going to work, but I think I would rather stay there and enjoy watching and photographing the birds, just like you did, and forget to go to the office ... maybe they wouldn't even miss me 😁

As you know the beach is only 6 kilometers away my friend, so it is very easy no nip down there for a breather. I call it a quick recharge of my batteries 🤣

30 minutes is our limit and yes, we stick to it as in that 30 minutes I can take many photos, as I know exactly where to go.
For a change there was a dog on the beach this morning, so I asked him to scare the birds to fly so that I could get some nice shots.

I asked him and he said his name is Shadow, or Blacky, but I forget as I can't remember names 😉

Cheers and thanks.

Aha, so you have got another photography assistant now besides Marian. He has done a great job, you should keep him, my friend 😁

I would love to have a beach that near, but I have to drive for 2.5 hours to be at a tourist beach in Italy.


!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Drat! A lifesaver dog arrived to chase my new assistant away Hannes.

I know that feeling about being far away from the sea, as 4 years ago we still lived up north in the country and the nearest sea in Durban was 600+ kilometers away. A trip of about 7 hours.
So thankfully our situation is changed now.

Cheers and thanks.

That's a beautiful dog, although your assistant is now gone.

Yep, living closer to the sea would be awesome, but maybe I wouldn't appreciate it as much if I lived there ... I don't know.

Well I will sure find another assistant my friend, nature is full of volunteers 🤞

We discovered a huge change here and I will never stay in a seafront house Hannes.
Up here in town the wind is light and pleasant, then we went down to the beach and the wind was fierce.
Coming in from the open sea, it hits the beach and the houses in full force.
So close, but not too close is always better 😉

Cheers and thanks.

Yep, I have seen videos of such storms and these houses at the beach have to be built different from other houses, I believe, so that you can sit inside and enjoy the waves crashing against your windows 😁

Terrible my friend especially facing the stormy Atlantic ocean. The houses and buildings are all brick and plaster and some of them were built in the 1930s.
They have built some concrete bulwarks in order to protect the beach road, but the waves crashes right over them and fill the road with white beach sand.

Cheers and thanks.
