Cast ashore, 31 August 2022

While I was swimming in the warm water, about 10m away this amazing creature was being washed up onto the beach. We thought it was a dead fish next to a plastic bag at first, but closer inspection showed it to be a beautiful Portuguese Man o’War. A few times a wave caught the creature

A few random images of the beach, 10 August 2022

We’ve been busy these past few days. After all, those tans won’t create themselves. It takes effort. Anyhow, here are a few random images from the past few days. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/08/a-few-random-images-of-beach-09-august.html

A view of the beach, 27 July 2022

The idea was to take the Olympus Pen mirrorless and try some image stacking on the beach. Sadly, it was really windy again, so here are a few images of a choppy sea. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/07/a-view-of-beach-27-july-2022.html

Ferias 2021: até ja, praia (8 September 2021)

It was a glorious start to our last day on the beach. The sun rose into a clear blue sky and we were excited at the prospect of one final day in the sun before our return to normality. Although we went to the beach,  on our arrival it started to rain so we never

Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 6 September 2021

After a glorious start, the day clouded over late afternoon. We did not get the wonderful sunsets we are used to. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-6.html

Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 5 September 2021

After a glorious start, with warm water and calm waves, the day clouded over leaving a bleak and lonely space. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-5.html

Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 3 September 2021

No views of the sea today. Why not, you ask. Well, thought you already had too much of a good thing. So today we’re concentrating on the main character of our beach, the cliffs. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-3.html

Cast ashore, 2 September 2021

A choppy sea brought seaweed and other debris onto the beach. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/cast-ashore-2-september-2021.html

Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 2 September 2021

The sun was out, the sky was blue, and the water was warm. The sea was a little too ‘choppy’ to swim properly, though. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-2.html

It was another foggy start,  but when the mist cleared, the beach was heavenly. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-1.html

On the whole it was a lovely day, with warm water and blue skies. Later though the clouds drew in leaving an overcast sunset that ended on a glorious note. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-31.html

Today was just … different. We headed for the beach just before noon on a lovely sunny day. There was no traffic at all on the walk to the beach, and ahead us was a clear blue sky. However, as we drew near the beach it became clear that there was a haze over the

Another perfect day. We’re being spoiled. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/08/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-29.html

Fun with waves, 26 August 2021

It was tough to have a little fun with the waves today as the sea was just so … flat. However,  in the wave cycle there were a good couple of ‘splashy’ waves that you could have fun with. There’s a dark side, though: these waves that are so nice are actually part of a

Ferias 2021: Our daily view of the beach, 26 August 2021

I know, I know, I’ve said it before: ‘Today was just … perfect’, but with no wind, a flat sea and warm water, today was just … perfect. https://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/08/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-26.html

Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 23 August 2021

We’re not on the beach today because of a trip to Sesimbra. This is what we found on our return (yes, that disc in the top left is the sun). Mind you, apparently on the beach it was lovely with a warm sea and clear blue skies.
