If you look closely you'll see my lovely girl-person in this image; she's standing on a sliver of dry sandbar between the ocean and beach not long after the tide had receded. It'd left ripples in the sand - seemingly disorganised but each exactly where it was supposed to be - strewn strings of sea grasses haphazardly and, of course, left pools of sea water which I assume remained to remind those fortunate enough to be there in the moment that their stay was temporary and that the ocean would soon return to lay claim to the area us humans could only borrow.
It was a nice moment walking on a very secluded beach on what was an incredibly lovely autumn day of 19°C, with a pretty special person whom I'm very fond of and fortunate and grateful to call my own.
We both had the day off and while it was not totally ours to own most of it would be spent doing things we chose to do rather than those we were compelled to.
We'd dropped one of my vehicles to a technician for service and decided to spend the day wandering around aimlessly and this beach walk around 10:00am which went for almost an hour and a half seemed the ideal way to kick it off. I think we saw three other people the whole time and those were from afar which suited us fine. We walked and chatted and were silent finding deep satisfaction in the simple moments.
Later we reconnected with civilisation and did some other things together (including lunch) and much later in the day collected the vehicle and went home after what had been an extremely enjoyable, relaxing together day.
When was your last "together day" either with your wife or husband, a special friend or even a day spent finding togetherness by yourself?

My last "together" day was this past Sunday. I'd taken a ten-day airbnb in the town I used to live in, the town my kids spent most of their childhoods in. My daughters joined me there, for six days. We were all together again in the place we had the most memories of. It was so lovely, being together, eating in our favorite restaurants, mostly talking. I came home and realized there are no other people on this planet I would rather spend my time with, and so easily.
What a tremendous together day (10 days).
There's so many places to go but sometimes spending time with valued people in familiar places can be so rewarding.
With three kids in the house and bills ever-piling we hardly ever get a together day. When we can, we spend a "together-evening" or a "together-nap" together. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Life seems to throw hurdles in front of us at times, sometimes and even sometimes all the time, but it's up to us to carve out a few moments for ourselves which is what my girlfriend and I do. We lead pretty busy lives so times like I wrote about here don't come all the time but we make the most of them when they do.
Kids, bills, life in general, yeah I get it, self-time can be hard to find. A nap works though, I mean napping is one of my best skills!
Yep. Absolutely... we do that from time to time. We have the usual pace of busy busy busy and then once in a while, no real schedule for it. We just take a break and spend time together.
Mother nature is the best artist there is and she is always generous with her gifts. Your 'together day' sounds like it was divine indeed. Only three other people...I call that a success lol.
My together days are spent alone, just me, myself and I lol. My son lives with me and I do sometimes spend some time with him when he's out in back doing his riding.
My brother lives next door. He works from home and sometimes I am called upon to help with one thing or another, but I'm no mechanic or bodyman so I don't hang around too long lol. 'Can you give me a hand....Here, Hold this hood...it's not heavy'.
I do enjoy my own company and while I am often alone, I am never lonely 🙂
It pays for a person to be comfortable with their own company, a lot of productive thought can come from being alone, for the right people. So many fill their days with noise like so ial media and other things but there's much to be said for being still and quiet.
I guess we each need to know what works for us and I think you have a nice balance. Some self-time and togetherness with others. You probably make a pretty good wrench holder for your brother, and that's enough togetherness right?
You know it, and I keep telling him that, too 😂
So modest. 😁
lol
An amazing looking beach, but no waves which would make surfing difficult right? Any sharks?
We've had some sharks lurking around for sure, fairly large great white sharks, so I'll not be out there surfing, no point tempting fate.
My last "together day" was last Friday (a day off) and we decided to take advantage of it by going to the beach. It wasn’t the smartest decision, as it was a very windy day, but in the company of someone special, a day can never go wrong. We both needed to disconnect, so it felt really good to step away from civilization and connect with the person you love outside of the routine
Windy days and the beach don't go together very well although I like what you said about doing things with special people which usually means that even if the conditions are not ideal a quality time is still created.
It's good to make the time for togetherness with the valuable people in our lives; it doesn't always have to be out sometimes, any moments in which were fully present count.
We are together all the time, but haven't spent time out like you speak of for a good bit. Now that the weather is nicer, it is a good time to do so. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy yourselves. There is something special about a nice walk on the beach, especially when there is noone else around.
We don't always get to go out for this together time I mention, we create it at home as well in various ways and at those times it's TV off and no computers or phones. It's a out being present and in the moment I guess.
I hope you manage to find some time and I certainly believe you deserve to get out ther with that lady and have some together time.
Looks like it was a beautiful day to be together.
I can't remember the last time I spent a together day with someone else. Good thing I enjoy my own company. 🤣
Yeah, I think it's important for each of us to like and enjoy our own company. I like spending time with some people though, now and then, but only those I choose.
Sounds like a really great time! My wife and I took some time off together about a week ago when we were both on Spring Break. I technically had to work but I used a personal day so we could take a roadtrip.
Road trips are always good fun and a nice time to unwind.
Ideal time of the year for beach walks, well being out anywhere.
Time with those you hold dear normally lots of chatting driving there, on arrival each goes their own way, find solitude to reflect and enjoy, simply knowing you are together brings music to the soul.
Awesome photography, rippling effect always stunning when the tide goes out.
Hi Joan, I hope you're going well and life is on track.
Thanks for commenting, it was a cool day, nice beach and to spend it with my girlfriend, the togetherness, was quite nice.
Have a nice week.
Not fully on track, but then am I ever? Would love to get onto the beach again, alas water is still contaminated so thoroughly enjoyed seeing your beaches. Have yourself and lady a lovely week ahead.
You can live vicariously through my beach adventures until you can have your own. 😊
Thanks, as soon as they clean the shit out the water I may venture down there again, itchy feet!
The last day together with someone special as a great walk in a dream place was last Wednesday, a beautiful walk by a lagoon surrounded by beautiful nature. But I also have my days together with myself and I love that, alone spaces that make me enjoy the moments of companionship even more.
What a beautiful walk you had, here's to many more of them!
Many more to come I hope for sure.
So be it!
It's always a beautiful experience to spend time with your love ones enjoying and savoring every bit of memory gained
Though it's been awhile I went out with my family to spend some time together due to strenuous but soon
Also nice pictures 👍👍
Thanks, the day was good and I managed to get a photo or two that was reasonable.
Hopefully you get to spend some time with your family soon.
Beautiful beach.
Yes.
