This photo was taken yesterday on my favourite beach, Newgale, Pembrokeshire. I had gone to visit the deep rock pool that my daughter discovered last August. It was deep enough for Miss E, then 8, to immerse herself in. Last year we all threw a pebble in and made a wish. Yesterday I threw the white pebble in to reconnect us all with each other and the place – deep connections.
The other stripy pebble is going to be used for another little ceremony which I hope to share with you later in the week.
A few more photos of Newgale …
The beach is vast and wide when the tide is out, a perfect place for a long walk to fulfil one of my 16 for 16 Challenges
And joining in with our Photo Challenge, please join us with your DEEP photos by leaving a link in the comments.

I loved the ritual with the pebble – and wonderful to be continuing the memories and traditons for another generation

Newgale is a stunning beach. One day I came over the top of the hill and ‘saw’ the sea themed dress I’d designed for my final major in college. The last photo with the bird is brilliant!

Wow! What a wonderful inspiration. Do you still have that dress Deb? Kind of you to comment on that photo, I took about 30 to get it! The wonders of digital photography.

I always feel so happy here! It is the beach my Mum brought us too every Summer Holiday of my childhood, so lovely that my children and grandchildren are discovering new treasures on the same beach.

On my little phone screen I thought this was a picture of a dog or a horse asleep, then I realised it was a rock. Nice story to go with the rock pool.
