...because who wants to catch worms? Besides, it's raining now...
The Parents' are away for the weekend, so I've been house-sitting their new abode. It's only a two minute walk from the beach, so I popped out reasonably early this morning with Camera. This is a selection of what I came back with:
 |
| If I'd got up a little earlier, I would have seen the sun rise over the North Sea (in the distance are Sidestrand and Trimingham) |
 |
| North. Ish. Probably North North East? |
 |
| Around the cliff there on the left is Cromer. Although there's still a lot of Overstrand before one gets to Cromer |
 |
| The Forties Sentinel hanging about offshore |
I also have some from yesterday afternoon but I haven't sorted them out yet, so I shall inflict them upon you another time.
Marine Traffic is a wonderfully nautical geeky site! I sometimes look to see where my river cruise boats are. Currently they are at their Winter moorings, awaiting the upcoming touring season.
ReplyDeleteI think I've said this before, but it really is quite addictive!
DeleteWhat magnificent sights! I quite like the cloud formations and the shimmering reflections of the light and shadows on the sea and sands. Very nice captures.
ReplyDeleteAnd not a single pesky bird in sight. Have they flown south for the winter or did they take the day off?
I'm quite fond of the "mackerel-skin" effect clouds - ripples in the sky to mirror the ripples in the sea.
DeleteAs for the birds, Tippi Hedren passed through a couple of days ago, so they all followed her. There are one or two big seagulls left here, though.
You do have a lot of lovely photos of groynes... Jx
ReplyDeleteWell, I do like a nice, big, sturdy groyne...
DeleteBeautiful, as always,but I notice you didn't get a shag today.Too chilly,perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI think you may be right, Dinahmow. The chill always tends to shrinking opportunities...
DeleteYou have managed to capture some elusive blue sky. Such a rarity... Well done
ReplyDeleteIf I'd've been up and about an hour later I would have missed it. Blue skies never last...
DeleteWhat with all this beach activity, do you suffer from sand in your crevices?
ReplyDeleteI do! It's about the only time that I miss Beast's crevice tool.
DeleteThe beach pre season is always so nice. I caught a worm this morning myself....but no sand.
ReplyDeleteA worm? I didn't think you'd settle for anything less than a sea cucumber?
DeleteDamn, everyone's made all the camp innuendos I was thinking of. Tell a lie, nobody's commented on the vessel of seamen.
ReplyDeleteI hope the house played nicely and went to sleep early while you were sitting it...
And there's such a lot of seamen around here, too!
DeleteThe house was very well behaved, thank you for asking. So good, in fact, that I was able to watch all six 'Victoria Wood Presents' playlets in peace and quiet.
So much sand and not a camel toe in sight.... yes, I had to scrape the groyne for my innuendo...

*applauds like a demented seal*
DeleteWe need a sandcastle now.
Very well played, Ms Scarlet!
