La Douce France

Nothing beats a visit to the North Sea beach ★

Walking along the shore, looking at the waves, fresh air and lots of beach treasures.

Preferably in autumn, winter or springtime.

I try to avoid the much more crowded summer holiday season and higher temperatures.

A quiet spot, not too many people around, away from tourist attractions is ideal.

Accompanied by some close friends, just the kenderman or all alone at the beach.

Whatever the weather, instant hapiness assured!

Homesick for Vlieland

Vlieland is one of my happy places... sea, beach and quietness...

I just love secluded beaches... a peaceful stroll in solitude...

a bit of beachcombing...

in the evening a delicious diner for two at the Armhuis

followed by another day of cycling, walking and searching (smile)

The kenderman is taking shelter here.

The strong wind made it almost impossible to set foot on the Vliehors.

you can't tell but the wind was fierce!

On our way back to the cottage I spotted some Soay sheep in the dunes.

And on Monday we arrived back to the mainland.

We'll go back to Vlieland (over and over) again...

Panorama Vlie

Due to the strong windforce there was no way to hold the camera still...

At this time of year I need a view and a woodburning stove...

I hope you'll enjoy your weekend!!!

B-Day

My perfect birthday is a day on the beach...

searching for fossils... having the beach to ourselves

late in the afternoon the mist is rising again...

almost like a 17th century painting by Paulus Potter

You can find many photo's from over the years (in different weather) here
