These photos are related to the Trek posts, though, as they depict the disturbance of some familiar Familiars as I buggered about on the beach with my Andorian and Chandir subjects.

25th August - Scouting mission
 |
| Almost on the horizon just before the surf appears to meet the most distant cliff, one can just about make out some black specks on the beach |
 |
| Here they are in not-so-magnificent (as) close-up (as I could get) |

26th August
 |
| The scouting mission complete, the next morning dawns a little overcast |
 |
| Down on the beach, everything is peaceful... |
 |
| … and the rain clouds have the good sense to stay out on the horizon |
 |
| Oh, no... |
 |
| "Shit! It's that bloody witch with his camera again." "Oof! I don't know if I can get airborne with my belly full of fish?" "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" |
 |
| "Uh, oh... Looks like we lost Horace in the surf." |

| "I don't believe it! It's that witch again!" |
 |
| "Let's go before he gets any closer" |
 |
| "Wait! Wait! Is Horace with us this time?" "Bugger, Horace. Just go!" |
Rude!
oOo
In other news (which is quite old now), just in case you were unaware, Rimpy has declared a new winner of the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts! It's Alpo Jones (the poor sod...)!
Those birds are well trained to know to get out of your way when you walk on the beach. The scenes are spectacular! Beautiful beach, enchanting sand and surf. Even the birds caught midflight look amazing.
ReplyDeleteHere, stupid people keep feeding the birds--even with large signs posted saying not to feed the wildlife. So now, when people go to the beach, birds aggressively swoop down and take food right out of people's hands and off their picnic settings. Birds even swoop into open cars and peck open bags of chips and cookies! Seagulls are a common offender--makes me loathe them even more! And the people that feed them deserve to have sand in all their folds and cracks!
Sand in folds and cracks is a severe punishment, indeed!
DeleteThe seagulls in Cromer do the same thing - intimidate tourists into giving them food. But, just a couple of miles along the coast here in Overstrand, the seagulls are quite meek, and tend to fly away before anyone can get near them. I imagine it's because Cromer has a multitude of seafront food sources to cater to the tourists, whereas Overstrand only has a café at the clifftop, and a chip van that's only open sporadically.
Well, not being au fait with Star Trekkery, I'm quite happy with a few shags. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! And as you can see, there are plenty of shags to choose from. You can even have them on the go!
DeleteMobile shags are always the best. Jx
DeleteJust right for that busy lifestyle!
DeleteYikes! Poor Horace! [worries]
ReplyDeleteHorace shouldn't have gorged himself at breakfast. I'm sure he'll be fine though.

The beach is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe bits that aren't covered in cormorant shit, yes!
DeleteFly home my pretties....
ReplyDeleteThose clouds are wonderful. I do like sticking my head in a wonderful cloud.
I didn't know about the shorts, thank you for the update!
Sx
They should be nearing the Devon coast any time now. As long as they're not waiting for Horace to catch up...
DeleteI like a wonderful cloud too. Although they're better seen from above - especially when it's raining.
I'm hoping that Rimpy will keep his blog updated with the 'Shorts whereabouts etc, as Alpo Jones has a tumblr blog and I'm not sure how they work?
Thanks for the nudge IDV. Your wish is granted: https://raisethethunderbeam.blogspot.com/2018/09/fges-in-transit.html
DeleteOoh, thanks, Rimpy!
DeleteI know how Tumblr works. You post pictures of yourself doing sexy things and next day you find you've got 3,000 comments and are all over the internet
ReplyDelete....blush.
Speaking from experience, Hound...?
