Weekly Photo Challenge – Afloat

Living near the sea, I have many to choose from for this Challenge! This one shows the floats afloat on a beautifully calm evening as the boats are almost all out sailing.  In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Afloat.”

Another Reflection, Green Haze and Loe Beach

1   I am fascinated by reflections as you may have guessed. First thing this morning with the sun streaming in, the colours of the glass in the back door were reflected in the windows. I wish I understood how reflections work!

2   Driving through our lovely Cornish lanes to Penryn to choir for the first time in three weeks, the trees are developing that lovely haze of colour – greens, pale yellows and pinks – that mean Spring really is on the way.

3   We drove down to Loe Beach for the early evening sunshine. I just love being there, listening to the wavelets coming onto the shingle, finding tiny yellow shells and finding a very special sense of peace.

Loe Beach, Pill Creek and A Blazing Sky

1   As a teenager, I used to cycle the 5 miles from Truro to Loe Beach to ‘hang out’ with friends. It is a very beautiful place full of lovely memories.

2  We came to Cornwall from Birmingham when I was 6 years old. Pill Creek was my first real view of Cornwall as we were driven to our first home by an old family friend who had met us at the train station.  I’m sure you’ll understand why I fell in love with Cornwall!
