spanish banks

after kai and i spent time with stefan, we met up with our friends sam and jacob at spanish banks.  it was a very weird weather day - it could rain at any moment but then the clouds would part and this brilliant light would shine on the mountains, downtown, and beach. it was warm too.  the boys had lots of fun playing on the beach while sam and i lounged on some comfy chairs (she thinks of everything!).

spanish banks is a huge beach yet very quiet.  it was so peaceful to be there.  it gives you the impression that you are far away from home but not really.  from here, you have one of the most beautiful views of the city skyline, not to mention the north shore mountains.  at low tide you can walk forever on the sand flats.

 

 

 

 

i wish my camera was cooperating better though - it's been needing a visit to the camera shop for some time now yet i am procrastinating, it will be odd not having my camera with me!
