This piece of writing was for an 'I Remember' Competition

It rained and rained on Sunday afternoon,

Cleaning up my room pictures tumbled out,

One photo caught my eye,

Warkworth beach 2003 a family day,

Silky golden sand spreaded across the shore,

Tall dark green trees waved in the breeze,

White puffy clouds floated in the baby blue sky,

Immense rough rocks sat against the bank,

Extended wide islands sat in the middle of the sparkling blue ocean,

Miles of crystal clear waves crashed against the shore,

My little blonde curls blowing in the wind,

                                                          A cheesy smile stretching from ear to ear,

Seagulls squawking as they flew in the sky,

Waves crashed against the moist shore,

I could hear people laughing and talking,

The sun lighted up the sparkly sky,

I could hear the humming of the birds as they sat in their nests,

Dad said ‘smile’ as he pushed down the camera button,

The hot sun beat down on my back,

Mums sliver bracelet shimmered as the sun shone on it

I could feel the crumbly sand between my tiny fingers,

I remember seeing people cracking up laughing as they fell off their boogie boards,

I remember swimming in the refreshing ocean with mum and dad,

I remember running up and down the beach like a excited puppy,

Pretty white shells sat on top of the scorching sand,

Kids drenched each other with buckets, filled of sea water,

But the thing I could see the most was the happiness that glowed in my green eyes on a perfect family day.
