 is that first glimpse ...
whether it is the first glimpse from the back seat driving to the beach with your parents







or walking up over the sand dunes,
the first glimpse is magic.

What a yummy set of water-related photos! I understand how that first glimpse of the water, up over a rise, can really grab you. And your first two photos set the stage for that emotion. The composition of the third and last ones are true classics. And the photo that includes the little boy sure tugs at a viewer's heartstrings! Great job, Ann, and thank you for joining in on the challenge!

I like how you described the magic of seeing the water once one has walked over the sand dunes. The view is mesmerizing.

Oh yes! Driving to the beach we crane our necks for that first magical glimpse of water. You've captured the moment beautifully in your photos. Such lovely seascapes.

Annie, I always love coming over the rise of the dunes and seeing that huge ocean before me - whether in sunshine or a Winter storm, the beach and water are so special and thought provoking.

For me, here on the US east coast, I know out across the wide Atlantic is my true home - crossing the pond is always in the back of my mind like, "when will I get to go home again?"

Lovely shots, thanks for sharing - I was at your Coast 2 years ago, then sailed Broome to Darwin last year - you have amazing waters and hope to come back some day.

Happy week - Mary in North Carolina

- where the water are sometimes perfect, but hurricanes can stir them up!
