The beach in black and white




On Rob's day off this weekend we drove down to the Camargue, a National Park an hour and a half south of us. The Camargue is a vast swampy marshland where the Rhône River meets the Mediterranean. The day we went was cloudy and rainy, and the weather seemed in sync with the beauty of the land. The park is home to white horses that run wild, and black bulls grazing their way through adolescence until they are ready for the bullfights. There are many birds, including wild flamingos, a very special sight.




























The highlight of our afternoon was being on the beach. The rain had stopped, it was uncrowded, and we were able to play for awhile.

Nice to have a day together, what better ways to spend your days near the beach. Love the boats and smooth waves in the background. What time of day? Are you able to check your comments?
