February - my favourite month of the year!
It's still summer, but starting to cool down a little.

It's my birthday month (along with so many family and friends it's ridiculous really!)

The new school year has just started and everyone is fresh and rested from the long break in routine. There's an optimism attached to the new school year that lingers from my own school days as well as from my teaching years.
I love the 'do-over' feel that goes along with a new school year.
The possibility, anticipation and hope!

One of the things we love to do at this time of the year is to go to the beach after work/school on Friday's to cool down...our beach of choice is Coogee Beach.

The perfect place to relax, play and swim together.

  1. Happy Birthday Month. :-)
    It took me a minute to figure out the first photo - almost an optical illusion there.
    Looks like a fun place.

  2. Happy Birthday Brona. I love Coogee Beach too, but don't get there nearly often enough. This sounds like a wonderful tradition.

  3. That first one took me a minute too - I thought it was a giant yellow flotation device stuck in the sand.
    Happy Birthday Brona; what a beautiful part of the world to spend it in!

    1. It is a flotation device (used by the lifesavers) attached to a pole near the swimming flags.

  19. It's nice to have a different perspective on February. Here in the States, February is one of the most abhorred months because we're all so sick of winter. Love the candid shots on the beach. Here's Mine
