A week at the coast, which basically boils down to two days travel and three days to spend some time enjoying yourself, is way, way too short. Luckily I spent three mornings watching the sun rising from the sea, and this made it a bit more bearable.

We were staying nearly on the beach, so we walked down to the beach to take these photos.

OK, I admit.  I spent three mornings looking at the sun rising, but only took photos the one morning.  Luckily the morning the sky looked the best, according to me.

This following photo was taken half an hour after the previous photos, but it looks like a photo taken at night.  No Photoshopping, still untouched. 

We went to a nearby bird sanctuary  the one morning.  Besides some domesticated ducks, there were hardly any other birds to be seen.  So I took photos of flowers.

Spent about two hours at this bird sanctuary,  about a third of the time running after butterflies.  They do not like to be photographed.

At least flowers have the good manners to stand still, or as still as the wind allows them to.  I like that in a flower.
