#823 - White Saud Beach Shots for Tuesday.

A wonderful evening once again dearest Hiveans. It's finally my night of work and excited also for this week. By Sunday morning we will go to a beach in Aurora province. There's two friends who will come with us and they will share expenses with the gas and transient we will be staying at overnight. Early today also my son was accompanied by my mother in law, they went to the school before nine to get the card of my son and my son also has a hang out with his classmates but he came back home before ten. He said they will move the date of their hang out when they all met in the school.

For our shots today, we got these scenes taken when we were on the white sand beach of Saud. The place my wife booked is a few kilometers away from the white sand beach. She didn't know that the frontage of the place she booked was rocky and shallow. So on our second day we went to this famous beach to spent some time. We went here at three in the afternoon just for a day tour only. When we arrived it was gloomy already but it did rain a bit for a few minutes when these dark nimbus clouds showed up. Good thing is that the center of the clouds is far from our location when it happened but it was still able go reach where we at and rained down for a couple of minutes.

This is what the sands looks like at this beach. This is the reason they call it the Boracay of the north for this reason. The shoreline is also stretched for probably atleast a couple of kilometers covered with white sands and hundreds of coconut trees.

We visited this beach on a weekday on a Friday and the entire beach is not really crowded. I just wonder how it looks like during the weekends. Here's me just sitting and chilling since it's been a while we had an out of town and spend time with the family.

Here's my son who was the first to went dipping into the calm water. I thought he is still kind of hesitant because of the waves as he prefers a swimming pool but he did great. I also taught him how to float in deeper area because he is still starting to learn how to swim.

The next two shots show the wife and our friend Dandreb to who joined us in this adventure. One way ride going to this province almost took twelve hours with the rests and stopovers included.

After the rain has passed,the dark sky has cleared a bit but the clouds were still there however the no rain has occurred after. We just waited for the sunset to arrive even if there's still thick clouds there is still s chance that the golden hour should appear over the horizon. My wife brought these three foldable chairs that she bought online at a cheap price of 800 pesos only for the three chairs that is around $14 more or less.

Then there's these two dogs wandering on the beach with their owners chasing behind. The dogs stopped at a hill of a sand and they were interested if there's another that left a pee there.

Follow me on my nature travels.
