A Little Dusting

Every now and then we have to dust things off!

I certainly have a LOT of pictures stored on my laptop. One of these days I will count them up.. well actually that day is now LOL I've got 2,192 photos saved on my computer! Shit that's a lot LOL Thankfully I didn't count them individually.. nifty when you know some computer skills to be able to find those types of things out pretty easily.

With that many photos.. you can for sure bet that there are many of them and many folders that do not get touched for a while. This was one such evening!

It's been a while since we've been to the beach in real terms. I think we went once or so during the colder months where last year we were there pretty frequently. This year we had lots of other things going on so we just couldn't make it there which is okay. That means though, that my photo album for beach things was getting a little stale! In comes a beach trip to the rescue LOL

We didn't take many photos that day, because it was more important to enjoy some family time with my son but I did manage to snap a few. This goes back to one of the earlier posts I made where if I don't do something for a while, such as taking photos, I get a little antsy! I love taking photos of things, I don't claim they are fantastic but they are a good way for me to store a little bit of memory associated with that moment in time.

The beach trip was certainly an enjoyable one because the weather was beautiful; very sunny but a little bit of wind. This meant that you could enjoy the weather quite a bit and had a slight chill that would keep the heat away. I love a nice sweltering hot beach day, but at the same time I also for sure enjoy the mild and comfortable ones. You can do more beach activities!

I think the beaches that we go to, for the most part, are pretty cool in that they have great scenery. Sure I like the white sandy beaches and all, but for me that's a little bit boring! You don't get to do much except lay on it, walk on it or swim. With a nice rocky beach, you get plenty of choices of things to do! LOL

One of the fun things about the photo album and how some of them are old, is that if I haven't gone to look at one for a while, when I do make my way over there I end up getting a nice little dose of nostalgia! We all need to cherish and enjoy memories in our lives, especially when you've got kids. I selfishly use many of these photos to remember where and roughly how old my son was in it!

What about you, do you appreciate when you find something that's old and you breathe a little life into it? Let me know in the comments!
