We had a few sunny days last week that just had me itching to get out over the weekend. We all had colds but that didn't stop us when the sun came out on Saturday. I have a few places I'd been dying to see but I'm saving those in my back pocket for warmer days. Oh, I just can't wait.
We headed to Cove Bay instead. It is a suburb on the south-east edge of Aberdeen. This village-like town boasts gorgeous rocky cliffs and never ending waves crashing on the rocky shore. The very small finishing community berths their boats on the shingle beach {a natural harbour with a beach of pebbles or small cobbles instead of sand}.
I was hoping to get out onto the rocks but the wind was fierce. Fierce I tell you! I was having a hard time standing on my own two feet let alone if I tried to climb slippery rock. So, we stayed on shore and watched the seagulls ride the waves on the North Sea.
If you go to Cove Bay bring all your winter gear. It was cold! But very beautiful. Like something out of a novel. It's nice to spend some time in beautiful places. It does my heart good.
Such great pictures .. I especially like the small splashes of color on the traps
ReplyDeleteThe shingle beach was amazing. All tucked away and there were just a few boats and some traps. Kind of cool.
DeleteGetting out in nature can really renew the spirit! We had an unseasonably warm day here in Maryland (temperatures in the 60s, almost 70), so I convinced my husband to take a day trip to the shore. We had so much fun walking along the water. Not the same as Cove Bay (gorgeous!), for sure, but lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of those few nice days!! Maryland has its own charms! Sometimes I really do miss the east coast.
DeleteBeautiful pictures as usual.
ReplyDeleteThank you James
Deleteso gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow this reminded me so much of home! Newfoundland has very similar landscape and it is nothing to see lobster traps on the side of the road ;) Beautiful pictures!
