The sea so blue, a sight to see Refreshing waves, they beckon me Warmth surrounds, a gentle embrace Sparkling waters, a dazzling space
A lovely afternoon, so it seems The perfect time, to chase our dreams To swim and play, and feel so free The sea, so blue, it calls to me

Boardwalk strolling this morning Meia Praia A gorgeous day Luke, Gary and I Praia de Porto Mós Frankie Angel Bear came tooLooking eastwards Looking westwards Windy hair again! Luke swimming, Gary trying the water Gary and I go swimming Beautiful colours Not too crowded A perfect spot Praia de Porto Mós Sparkly Building graffiti in Lagos Tonight’s sunset over the marina
The waves crash softly on the sand As I sit here with drink in hand Watching the sea ebb and flow Relaxing in the afternoon glow
The ocean's rhythm calms the mind A gentle breeze to ease the grind The sun slowly sets behind the shore And with it, all the worries we bore

Walking along bright pavements in Praia da Rocha Praia da Rocha beach The view from Miradouro dos Três CastelosPraia dos Três CastelosNatural archway A little windyA lot windy! In front of Branquinho beach bar Luke and Talita try the water Cold libations Different rock formations and stacks Sparkly sea Such a beautiful day Windsurfers A shady spot for us Pinnacle on top of the cliffs A good swell Shady loungers Looking westwards Sparkling ocean Looking eastwards
Relax, and let worries fade Switch off the mind, enjoy the shade Breathe deep and slow, feel tension ease Let nature's magic calm the breeze
Look up, at the clouds on high As they dance and swirl across the sky Their movements, a wonder to behold A sight of beauty that never gets old

The boardwalk along Meia Praia Looking back towards Lagos Sand dunes Wide stretch of sand Tropical vegetation Welcome shade beside the pool Flowers in the sand Pretty colours Relaxing….
Morning coffee in the square Watching the world go by A moment to pause and breathe Before the day starts to fly
The aroma of freshly brewed Wafts through the morning air Steam rising from the cup A moment of bliss to share
Later on, lunch al fresco Sitting beneath palm trees A gentle breeze rustles leaves A spell of peace and ease
Life moves at a slower pace In this tranquil, idyllic place Where time seems to stand still And worries fade without a trace
Love you so much Precious sons Beloved Mum xxxxx
A rather nice motor yacht Busy marina Beautiful cobbled streets Praça Luís de Camões Fabulous tiled town house The Garden Restaurant Lunch al fresco Huge bird of paradise plant, growing through the palmsNo comment! Gorgeous colours Bougainvillea stretching across the road Love this graffiti Igreja de Santa Maria de LagosAvenida dos Descobrimentos
Warm sunshine on my face Toes in the sea, perfect place The salty breeze and endless blue A memory to cherish anew
Breaking waves roll gently in A symphony of peace within And in this moment, I can see Nowhere else I'd rather be
Love you so much Precious sons Beloved Mum xxxxx
Praia da Rocha this morning Huge expanse of sand Not too many tourists around Enjoying the shade Luke and I A drive round to Ferragudo A pretty fishing town So many restaurants in the square Beneath beautiful blue skies Narrow streets and gift shops A quieter stop for lunch Tuna tataki CarpaccioA stroll after lunchLuke and Talita Gary and I Toes in the sea Towards the castle Luke goes for a dip Castelo de S João do AradeSo clear No entry up the stepsBack through the narrow streets Looking back on the town Ferragudo Sauda-Vos
Sunshine on one's face New adventures to embrace In a land quite different Sights and sounds, magnificent
New scenery to behold Travelling never becomes old The wonders of this place Enjoyed at a much slower pace
The food is fresh and new Eaten beneath skies of blue Different culture all around New experiences abound

Looking over Lagos marina Reflections Morning smoothies Forte da Ponta da Bandeira Fortress complex from the 17th century Drawbridge Protecting the city from pirates Sitting watching the waves A big swell battering the back of the fortHigh plumes of spray A little breezy, but so warm Another big wave Very noisy too A Sunseeker leaving the marina A good looking yacht coming into the marina Greek salad, and burger and fries
As the sun begins to set The sky turns shades of gold I sit by the water's edge With an ice cold beer to hold
The waves are gently lapping Against the sandy shore The breeze is warm and soothing The day ends in splendour
Love you so much Treasured sons Beloved Mum xxxxx
