Weekly Photo Challenge: Afloat!

For the challenge of Afloat I thought I’d post a few photos of this Seagull who seemed to be having fun floating over the waves at Durdle Door in Dorset, England, on a very windy afternoon a few weeks ago!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette

This week’s photo challenge is silhouette.  The photo’s below were all taken locally to me recently… 

Evening meander on the sea

A fisherman sorting out his nets and ropes

Evening boating bliss!

This guy was on a surfboard paddling out to his boat!

This was taken on the summer solstice evening

Soaring with the suns rays

Weekly Photo Challenge: Object

I’ve been otherwise occupied for a wee bit, with goodness knows exactly what but it’s certainly kept me busy!

I hope a merry Christmas was had in every corner of the blogosphere and I wish one and all a very happy, healthy and peaceful new year!

This weeks photo challenge is all about the ‘object‘…

Flowers in your window…

A bit of old boat rope!

Statue outside a building somewhere in London…!

St Paul’s Cathedral with quite a large Christmas tree dwarfed in front of it!

Lovely Gelato… roll on summer!

Empty crab shell, found on a beach in Devon, England

Dinosaur skeleton in the entrance of the Natural History Museum, London

London Underground sign!

Weekly Photo Challenge: One

This shot was taken in Mevagissey, Cornwall.  I was meandering along the harbour and crouched down to take a photo of the rowing boat with all the other boats and cottages providing the wonderfully colourful background and reflections in the water when the Seagull landed and posed for me!  So this is my One for this weeks challenge…

Fishing boats and Seagulls… typically Mevagissey!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Horizon

I couldn’t decide on just one, so here are a few Horizon’s for this weeks challenge… some were taken during a trip to France a couple of year’s ago and some from an impromptu lazy afternoon locally!

Somewhere in the French Alps!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Saturated

I thought I’d go with the saturated by water element of this weeks challenge and post a photo of my beautiful Mutley looking very bedraggled after spending an afternoon on a beach in Cornwall with us this summer…

In the boot of the car, worn out after her beach adventures!

Mutley loves going into water as long as it’s not too deep or moving too fast! This was the first time she’d actually been into the sea deep enough to get completely saturated… my son was throwing sticks in for her and she finds a stick very hard to resist! 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Sea

This weeks photo challenge got me thinking about what the sea really means to me, how does it make me feel… there are so many emotions the sea evokes. When I have been away from it for a while, I miss it, I feel it’s pull… it makes me feel calm, peaceful, able to breathe deeply… renewed, alive, invigorated and full of life’s possibilities.  

The photo below was taken on a beach we had stumbled upon quite by accident (sometimes the best kind) whilst looking for a completely different one!  The perfect afternoon turned into a glorious evening with an amazing sunset which I couldn’t capture because my camera battery died!  Gutted and lesson learned!

I could sit for hours, listening to the waves breaking on the sand… staring out at the distant horizon… life and the world is beautiful!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable #2

I captured these yesterday whilst enjoying the sunshine for a wonderful change!  I thought they were perfect for this weeks photo challenge… just imagine all the adventures going through their minds!  Oh to be a child again!

Four companionable adventurers…!

The wonders of childhood…
