Snapshot of Spain - Tres


So, these are actually snapshots of France. We went across the border to Biarritz, France for an evening. I loved the food, architecture and storefronts in this town - so different than Spain...


We took a walk on the beach one morning and there was this lady in her 70's in a one-piece swimsuit/shorts ensemble. She simply stood there with here feet invisible, firmly planted in the sand. She just stood, watching the waves, completely fulfilled and happy to just be in the moment. It reminded me to do the same.




The waves were enormous where we stayed and there were huge hydrangeas everywhere! It all made for a beautiful environment both sound and sight.

    would love to see all of your Spain/France pics and can't wait to see what other pics will inspire a watercolor or 10!

    I think you should have a picture viewing party... I want to see them, too!

    Love the moment you captured on the beach. Makes me wish there were a beach nearby! Beautifully done as always!
