Photos of the Week: August 3

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.” – John Muir

We’re on vacation on Whidbey Island this week. In a few words, this is what we’ve been up to.

We started by washing the windows so we could see the view.

On the beach. We found the clams but don’t dig them up – just try to avoid the spray.

Hammocking and stick ball.

Playing in the water.

Whidbey wildlife.

    2. Thank you, Julia! Although he looks so perfectly at rest, his little legs were kicking mightily down below which I thought made the picture even more fun.

      I didn’t know about the clam spray either but when we find a clam near the surface and dig next to it, it dives deep by expelling water. And they are super fast. It’s quite fascinating and fun. We have no intention of catching one but it’s interesting to see!

    1. I love the deer going down on the beach as well. I’m not sure what they are going for but it’s so fun to see them!

      Thanks for coming along, Ab! Hope you all have a great weekend!

  13. Makes me want to turn back time to when my children were this age Wynne.

    The fantasy to somehow be able to ‘freeze frame’ such precious moments with our children gives way to the stark reality that life moves on. The best we can do is to cherish these moments to be stored in our memory bank.

    Be Blessed lady!

    1. Cool sign indeed. Just today a friend sent me this photo of a poster that said “The best things in life are free” and it had a big price tag attached to it… $19.99. Oh, the irony 😀

    1. Isn’t that funny? You can see them near the surface of the sand but if they sense you near, they squirt water as a way to quickly dig themselves deeper. Kinda like a submarine maybe? And they’re fast!

      1. Gorgeous seas of evergreen trees standing tall and dramatic, stunning mountains, plentiful lakes, rivers, meadows, scenic weathered beaches, rainforests… to just name a few things 😉
