Family outing

It was relatively quiet on the beach this morning and I enjoyed watching a young family on their early morning beach adventure. There were lots of shouts of "Hey, Dad... look at this!" Thrills over shells and delight at a jellyfish.

It gave me time to recall my own beach adventures as a child on this same beach with my parents. My Dad occasionally told me some of the adventures he too shared with his family and friends on this very beach. Amazing, really, when you think about it.

Ah, nostalgia... a wistful affection for the past. Yes nostalgic I am, but maybe the young boy in this photo will someday look back fondly on his early morning family outing on the beach. I certainly hope so.
