Walk to Loe Bar on a Spring Afternoon

Join us on our beautiful walk today from Penrose Hill through the woods and on down to the beach at Loe Bar, the longest walk I have done since my hip replacements and it felt like quite an achievement! Click on any photo to see the bigger version and to see the caption.

Long Walk, Blue Skies and The Lodge

03 Oct

Another sunshiney day and another flat walk, this time from Helston towards Loe Bar all the time surrounded by beauty. Join us along the way. It is all National Trust land and is just glorious.

Bird Bonanza, Green Gym and Reflections (Special Photo Challenge Inspiration)

23 Nov

1 In a lull between storms we went for a walk from Helston to Loe Bar through fields, woodland, swampy mangroves, alongside the biggest freshwater lake in Cornwall and along the cliffs above Loe Bar – a brilliant walk for photographs!

Having our picnic before we set off we saw so many beautiful little birds – Goldfinches Long tail tits, Blue-tits, Coal tits, a Wren and a couple of Goldcrests and some Pied Wagtails, more than we’ve seen in our garden for a long time. On the walk we saw cormorants and ducks of all kinds and a couple of hawks.

2 All along the way I was amused to discover ‘The Green Gym’ for those for whom the walk was not exercise enough!

3 The reflections in the pool and in the puddles were beautiful. I took a self portrait of me doing what I love , taking photographs of beautiful things in the great outdoors!
