Ailsa’s photo challenge this week is the Sky.

Here are a few of my personal favourites taken by our home here in Newfoundland.

Husband must have stood on a small hill because he isn’t that much taller than the rest of us. 🙂

Beach Golf, Anyone?

My son came for a visit here in Newtown this past week. On one of the days, I went along to take pics of him and my husband playing beach golf. This beautiful sandy beach is only a few hundred yards from our house. The weather was cool and windy, but I liked the way the photos turned out.

This is the sandbar they were aiming for.

Time to collect the balls... — Time to collect the balls…

Balls that didn't hit the sandbar are easily found because the water is shallow. — Balls that didn’t hit the sandbar are easily found because the water is shallow (and surprisingly warm!).

I love the action and the waves in this one.

What do you like to do when you go to the beach?

“Ripples”

Here is my take on Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Ripples this week.

First, some evening shots along the shores near my home:

This morning I shot these pics of my husband and Vivian on their pre-breakfast jaunt:

There were a few “ripples” of laughter from behind the camera too.

Okay, this is the first time we ever had friends come to dinner – in a CANOE!

Another wonderful thing about living the coastal life. 🙂

Travel Theme: Oceans

Published on June 14, 2012April 23, 2014 by J. Kelland Perry11 Comments

June 8th was World Oceans Day. World Oceans Day has been unofficially celebrated on June 8th since 1992 when Canada proposed the idea at the Earth Summit in Rio, and was officially recognised by the United Nations in 2008. The official website is worldoceansday.org.

Here is my contribution to a weekly travel theme challenge created by wheresmybackpack.wordpress.com. Because I live by the Atlantic Ocean here in Canada, I thought I would share some pics from last year when my daughter and her family visited, and had fun on our sandy seashores.
