#1074 - An Afternoon Shots When in Baler Aurora for Thursday.

Good Thursday morning dearest Hiveans across the world! Happy Thursday to each of us. Wishing you a Thursday that is both fulfilling and moves us closer to our weekend goals and the long term once😉.

Now for our daily shots, just one ordinary afternoon at around four o'clock when we decided to escape the noise of construction in front of the transient place we were staying in Baler, it wasn't a good time for us being there back then. But it was the opposite of the peace we needed for the moment haha. So my wife, our son and I made our way toward the heart of Sabang Beach.

We just walked into a scene of wonderful yet lively chaos of the shoreline. The famous surfers beach was crowded with people just as we expected. There's surfers carrying their boards or on the waters already, groups of friends and families laughing, enjoying and vendors, lots of them too. The energy was infectious. We wandered a bit further and away from the busiest spots, near also the boardwalk we finally found a quiet area of sand just for us.

We immediately settled into the warm sand, put on some cover and towels. It felt so good to just lie down and breathe. We became observers of the happy scenes going on around us. We watched some beginner surfers tumble into the waves, saw families enjoying. The sound of the waves were like our soundtrack at that time which washed away the memory of the construction noise 😂.

It had been too long since we'd done this as a family. We all walked to the water and enjoyed dipping and diving a bit. Our son also enjoyed the time bonding with us. We didn't need to swim; just being in the water standing or sitting, feeling the sun on our shoulders was already the perfect connection.

Follow me on my nature travels.
