I like to observe children play in any situation. But it is when I go to the beach that I really put on my observer cap and with that my blogger cap as well. Having seen the beach/ocean only a few times growing up – we live so far away from the coast – I seem to be enjoying the beach vicariously through the children.
I wish you could have heard her shriek of joy at the coming of the wave.
They appeared to be born near water.
This remains my fave people watching shot. The image spells satisfaction to me.

Nothing like a warm, fun-filled day at the beach to make childhood memories 🙂

Wonderful shots of the children playing at the beach. We always spend a lot of time at the beach when I was growing up and I also took my daughter to the same beaches when she was growing up. I’m surprised I didn’t think of using beach shots.

I live near the sea. Whenever I go for my stroll by the beach, I can hear the childrens’ shrieks of joy while they play on the sandy beach or in the water.

I live between 2 beaches and grew up on the beach as well. I am still in awe of children at the beach and love to watch them there. The waves and the expanse of sand are so big and they have such a great time.

How wonderful for kids to hang out on a beach. It was a rare experience for me as a child – I can appreciate those happy moments!
