The Beach by maggiemae

The Beach

From one beach to another. A visit to the local hospital produced a result, a trip out to the beach here was horrifically painful but as @casablanca and her doctor states - if you wake up in the morning without pain after the age of 50, you have died!
Three good things:
1. It must be all up from here!
2. Our motorhome has a very comfy bed
3. This place is amazing - so beautiful. There were thunder clouds over there on the right!
This is a beautiful scene ...so sorry that you were in such pain while you took the pic!

fabulous light!

@dsp2 Thanks Dinah - good to have something to think about other than the pain!

Lovely shot .. and the 3 ladies just make it .. Cracked ribs are very painful Farmer George has broken his a couple of times and take a good while to heal...

@julzmaioro Thanks Julia - the ribs are just a mild annoyance - its the facial pain that is debilitating... trigeminall neuralgia.

At least you can put a name to your painful face, if you have a name you should in theory have a method of treatment! All your aches & pains have landed at once! I had to laugh the comment from Casablanca, that's a great comfort!
Lovely beach & the figures & heavy sky add so much. Fave again.

@happypat Thanks Pat! The diagnosis means treatment can begin properly rather than just take pain killers. My backs gone out now - I'm a crippled mess but fortunately taking photos helps the spirit as well as keeping an interest going!

Laughing at the ovder 50 observation! But still wishing you well -- wonderful image so the trip was worth it at least from our side as viewers!
March 6th, 2018  
@taffy Its a place we have never been so all is new and that is so good, Taffy!
March 6th, 2018  
Great image love the placement of the walkers:) fav

Wonderful view, lovely sunlight. Hope the treatment will be successful!

Ah, lovely lady, glad to make you smile. Sincerely hope you feel much better soon. I had spinal surgery 10 years ago so I heartily empathise with the pain. Hospital told me the body mends under painkillers because it can focus on it instead of on only the pain. All the best ❤️ Fantastic picture, love love love this composition.

Brilliant beach scene and dramatic colours. Love your over 50 observation, I can totally relate to that. Fav
March 6th, 2018  
@casablanca My hope is to feel less pain soon but it appears to take a few weeks to feel any difference. So I have to focus on other things besides pain - and photography is the best for this!
March 6th, 2018  
I really love this image for its perfect balance of composition, wonderful restful tones and the light shining through and highlighting all the cloud patterns. It is a big favourite for me. Sorry though about the continuing physical pain - although sounds like there is some hope through treatment.

@helenhall There is forecast heavy rain ahead, Helen so the clouds will get interesting! Had better hunker down again too!
March 6th, 2018  
such gorgeous lighting & I so like the suns rays & the ominous clouds...The three walkers add charm.....Thinking of you..
March 6th, 2018  
Beautiful scene. Great colours clouds and lovely view, love the walkers too just walking into your shot. Your last few shots are really beautiful, looks a great trip. So sorry to hear about your fall.
March 6th, 2018  
Such a beautiful scene!! Love it!! At least they know what's wrong with you now so hopefully you will start to feel better with new treatment. Fav!
March 6th, 2018  
This is beautiful. Hopeful you will be better soon!

March 6th, 2018  
that is quite a threatening sky maggie
March 6th, 2018  
Fabulous a fav for sure.

You really are in the wars aren't you. Hope things improve soon. Looking on the bright side, it is a good job you aren't a horse, you would have been shot by now.
March 7th, 2018  
this such a beautiful scenery you captured, maggiemae, and the way you processed it only made it more so. the figures of the three women really gave a fabulous perspective to the shot. aces, my friend. aces!

excellent quote from the doctor!
March 7th, 2018  
@onewing Now that really made me laugh,.....thank you Babs! I think I'd like to be a palomino horse! And too beautiful to put down!
March 7th, 2018  
@onewing @summerfield Mr Cool says he is looking for a trade in for a working model!
March 7th, 2018  
@maggiemae - tell him they don't make 'em like in the old days anymore! :-D
March 7th, 2018  
No blue, but still very cool!
March 7th, 2018  
Fantastic capture...great sense of scale, lovely tones, composition
March 7th, 2018  
@rhoing Late in the afternoon but still liked this setting! A picture if not entirely accurate, Thom!
March 7th, 2018  
Absolutely stunning!
March 7th, 2018  
@carolbird Thank you Carol for your inspiring words! Nature is wonderful and I'm lucky to view so many different landscapes!
March 7th, 2018  
Awesome shot
March 7th, 2018  
Great composition! Love the light and the silhouettes. Sorry you're in pain but laughed at the quote.
March 7th, 2018  
@redy4et I love the humour that our friends have - you get it online but its just as good!
March 7th, 2018  
Moste excellent, great light and composition, you may as well have a fav I suppose
March 7th, 2018  
Great photo. Detail, light, composition. everything. Fav.
More importantly, do take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon. And I know how you feel about the photos. When I have my back spasms and eventually tighten up, I go outside to take photos. Soon I'm leaning, reaching, kneeling, and my back has loosened up. At least for a while, and I'm on my way to normality.

This has the lot, lovely image
March 7th, 2018  
Not a surprise that this is already on the PP My FAv probably had no impact on that but it is too exquisite to not Honor it thus! Too bad we can't double or triple FAV!!

Praying for you daily that your pain lessens to tolerable and unnoticable! ♥
March 7th, 2018  
@graemestevens Graeme - I am deeply honoured!
March 7th, 2018  
@mbrutus Got to keep the body moving, I do agree Monsieur B!
March 7th, 2018  
@grammyn Already it has lessened,Katy - I'm over the moon! It is obviously the right medication! Thank you for your honourable mention!
March 7th, 2018  
Fabulous tones and capture...
March 7th, 2018  
@maggiemae the perfect answer to the question, “What’s a body to do?”
March 7th, 2018  
@mbrutus 'My body exists to carry my head around!'
March 8th, 2018  
Another good quote. But go tell that to Ichabod Crane.
March 8th, 2018  
Chuckling over all the comments on your site! A lovely image.
