Back from the seaside

[aredblush]

*tackleglomps the flist* You guys! I missed you muchly! *squeezes you all*

A-hem... Camping you guys! It is as awesome as I remembered! Tents! Air mattresses that take forever to blow up! Little kids running all over your camp spot! Ants crawling in your sugar bowl! Air mattresses that misteriously deflate during the night! Tent-neighbours that snores like angry hippoes! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! (I promise, I'm not crazy! I just really like to collect deliriously funny memories for when I'm old :))

Anyway, apart from the snoring our tent neighbours were pretty cool! They where all families with little kids and it was a joyful affair! There was this 4 years old girl, Diana, who always came to say "Goodmorning :)" when we came out to have breakfast and tell us about her friends and how much she likes Hello Kitty and that she wants to be an indian when she grows up (she used to tie a shoelace around her head and went around curing "injuries" with a piece of bark. The hearteyes, you guys!) and then there was Marci, who was 2 and a half, who smiled at us a lot but as soon as you smiled back he hid his face behind chairs and plants and once behind Diana. And then there was Leon, who was six, whose favourite movie is Avatar (he asked Diana for the other shoelace, tied it around his head leaving an end longer than the other and said that that one was his hair/tail/tendril) and whose favourite superhero is Astro Boy (guyyyyys! ♥). Anyway, much fun was had and so I am super happy about this trip!

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! PICTURE TIME!!!


Jsyk, you won't find any picture of me wearing a bathingsuit (this is not a Lochness monster picspam) and also no pictures of the camp site (we had quechua tents: you throw 'em in the air and they unfold themselves into perfect little cocoons, nothing funny or picture-worthy about that :() So yeah, this is pretty much a water picspam....



This is Sabaudia :) Pretty, ain't it?


doesn't even look like an Italian beach... (btw, that foot in the left corner is my aunt's)


I am so magical! I can take blurry pictures with a digital camera... /o\


That promontory is Monte Circeo. You can't see it much in this picture, but the profile of the mount looks like that of a face and legend has it that the mount is actually the witch Circe, who was transformed into a mountain when an adventurer stole her magic wand and touched her with it. This bit of folklore curtesy of my late great grandmother.




Pretty waves like this make for a lot of surfers.


Dad didn't have a board, so he challenged the sea to a game of belly bumping :)

This pic is also the last of the legit holiday pictures. The ones that follow are the lousy products of my trying to be artsy and stuff.








I didn't even use the zoom for this one. My camera was this close to get drenched D:










Mum said this one looks more like pack ice than mediterranean sea water...




I'm particularly fond of this one.


Don't judge me. I liked the reflexes :(










I call this one "Lonely swimmer"









And voila! End of the faily pictures! Aren't you glad I put everything under a cut?

Now, rec me all the things I missed this past week!

The place is so pretty *____* It's so unfair that you get all the pretty things over there! Also that 4 year old girl is too cute :) So glad you had fun!

It really is :D I wish I could pack it all up and send it to you! Diana was the absolute best <3

[of-silverandsky.livejournal.com]

If you could, just pack the blue blue sky for me ;D I'm in love with it!

Those pictures look incredible. In a couple of weeks I'm going camping in a place where I really should take my thermals. Let's just say my pictures won't look like your pictures. <3

Thanks sweetie. I'm pretty sure the merit goes all to my camera, though.
You should take pictures too! I bet they'd be awesome!

[anothersadsong.livejournal.com]

gorgeous! and glad you had a good time. :0)

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) I love camping, but it's good to be back!

[angelgazing.livejournal.com]

So pretty. I especially like the one with the close up of the sand and the waves. ♥



...And now I want the Arthur/Eames fic that uses that folklore as a metaphor. My brain, I tell you, it does not like me at all.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I really like those ones too! I took a bajillion pictures like that because I am nuts.



I would love to read that fic! YOUR BRAINS LOVES YOU A LOT!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I prefer mountain holidays to seaside holidays, but I do prefer the beach for taking pictures (all the pretty reflexes!).

I miss those kids! They were amazing! And I'm glad to be back too! I missed our little cult *hugs*
