"You Must See Our Holiday Snaps"

.

You know how when your friends get back from their holiday and they say to you

"you must pop round and have a look at our holiday snaps"?

.

Well, you're my friend.

.

And you're going to look at some of my holiday snaps and listen to my running commentary whether you want to or not.

.

No excuses will do.

.

I spotted this sailing boat from the caravan and zoomed in on it.

I've added the frame to make it look as though you're looking through a telescope.

.

.

The sea went out for about a quarter of a mile leaving a vast expanse of sand with impressions of the waves.

.

.

When the tide went out it left these mussels exposed to the sun.

This was the view from my deck-chair on the beach.
I noticed somebody had made 3 sandcastles in the foreground and thought it made a good composition.
.
.
Again, another view from my deck-chair.
.
.
I spent ages (and ages!) trying to capture a seagull in mid-flight from underneath.
There was danger from above waiting for the perfect shot.
It didn't come in the form of seagull-poop, but from the sun.
I burnt my legs lying in one position for so long!
.
.
A secret cave and beach that boy*jelly discovered.
.
.
Still burning those legs ...
.

.

Getting a bit arty-farty ... probably to the bemusement of onlookers!

.
.
No British beach holiday is complete without a wind-break.
.

.
Legs not quite crispy enough yet ...
.

.

.
And just to prove we were there ...
.

.
boy*jelly and me.

(Note to self : an arm's length isn't far enough away from the lens to stop the camera making your face look vast)
