What do you really need today?

I woke up feeling good, with the impression that I had a good night's sleep.

It's not exactly that I went to bed early and had a lot of hours to rest, but the feeling was still there. I anyway had one cup of coffee (that's a habit also and a way to start the day) and started filling out the forms for the evaluation of students, made breakfast, had another coffee 😅, did some creative work and spiced up these activities by going out to the seashore.

No, it was not the best morning to see the sunrise or the sea caressing calmly the horizon.

The sea was rough and the sky was grey, covered with thick clouds so I thought everything would be without colours. Like white and black, which is somehow elegant. But you know, the combination of white and black sometimes makes things greyish.

We can survive that, I hope.

Although the beach was not thirsty it drank the sea thanks to these waves converted into a silky foam. But the sea doesn't stop here showing its influence on the ambience... It attracted those low clouds that hid the peaks of the hill and blew a bit of fog toward the village.

I spotted a couple strolling on the beach. They didn't need anything else, just a bit of free time and an umbrella.

This cheerful detail on the bench can't be missed. The question is who had more fun, the person who played with the rocks and made this little collage, or the rocks who got a different purpose?

But let's not stop here on the bench, we still need to walk a bit and meet the aspirations of this bird flying with the help of the wind. The waves are there, behind the fence but nothing of that matters to him. He just needs his wings and a bit of experience to catch the air current.

I already saw some nice and pleasing scenes here - I could go home after this grey but satisfying short stroll with waves, fog, rocks, birds and umbrellas but... this couple surprised me the most.

Look at them. <3

Isn't it the cutest scene seen this morning on the beach?
