Happy Sunday to everyone!!!

I hope you all had a beautiful weekend enjoying the European summer.

As always I am so happy to see that this week we had more entrances again. For me it was so hard to pick the Top 10 and I lost a lot of my voting power because of so much high quality content that obviously I had to support!!

As always it was really interesting and inspiring to read all your posts and reward them! It's incredible to see so many different beaches from all over the world and listen to your stories.

I feel like every time you guys get more creative and it's just cool to see that you all seem to have fun with this initiative.

At SunThursday I am always impressed about how light changes the pictures and how many of you are able to catch this special light spectacle!!

So here are my personal TOP 5 of this weeks BeachWednesday

BeachWednesday - Early in the morning...

My dear friend @liliana.duarte that is also host of #lovefriday tells about her experiences at the beach in the early morning and how it helps her motivating herself to get up for the day. Great entry! So jealous you live at the beach!! ;)

Beachwednesday - Granite Bay, Noosa National Park

What can I say - @betterthanhome travels to the nicest beaches and has always super quality content. This time we learn about the granite bay at Noosa Nationalpark. - Outstanding!

What could be more exciting than having a beach vacation? The sea, which you see for the first time, leaves a feeling like the first love.

@olga.maslievich fell in love with the beach in Egypt at Hurgada. She loves the beach full of Palm trees and with Camels walking by. Nice report!

ULOG: Beach Wednesday

What a great pic and awesome quote posted by @photoquest: "Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me: If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature's simple treasures, life and living need not be so hard. By Psyche Roxas-Mendoza"

Tidal Pools Brimming With Sea Life

@joanstewart reports us from the colorful underwaterworld in South Africa. Ive never seen diving pics from there before.

Happy Sun Thursday. Sailing Into The Sunset

Even in California we have this spectacle. @wfmkay sent us this picture that for me at first seemed like she was somewhere in the Atlantic.
