I’ll call this The Beach Spam Edition – sorry!
Before it got freezing cold again (in Norfolk, anyway) we had a lovely couple of mornings at two different beaches (Cromer and Overstrand). Freya is quite content making sand pies with the occasional paddle to collect water in her bucket (she had her wellies on but I forgot mine. I can confirm the sea is still cold).
We made a rookie mistake on our second visit by not checking the tides, which meant when we arrived there wasn’t any beach to play on. Whoops!
I had a lovely time snapping away, especially at the sea defences. I’ve got about 50 photos of them from every angle. There was something about them that just fascinated me. Don’t worry, I’ll only post one (plus a couple of bird pics).
Wishing you a happy (and warm) week.

These are fabulous photos! Amen to a warm week!

Thanks, Sarah. Fingers crossed, I’m actually thinking of putting the heating on. In May!

Sending you some Aussie warmth! I reckon you did well compared with the Brits they showed on our news recently who made the even more rookie mistake with the tides and ended up with their cars floating out to sea! You did well 🙂

Yes I saw that too, it was in Wales I think. There were signs everywhere though so lessons to learn about reading signs 😉

I will take any Aussie warmth you are willing to give 🙂 Oh my goodness! Believe me, if we’d had our car that probably would have been us. We’ve learned our lesson. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂

Love the seagulls making off with their food and the groynes one is also very good. I too have lots of sea defence pictures (as well as a painting of one above my fireplace) but not one as good as that!

Ooh I’d love to see your picture, if you’re able to share. I’m so pleased to hear I’m not the only one. Mark thought it was a bit odd, I think 🙂

Lovely photo’s. I love being by the sea and the sound of seagulls. It’s gone pretty chilly here too, though still very sunny 🙂

Me too. I’d love to live by the sea (although would pay close attention to the tides) 🙂

Lovely photos, the last one is an incredible capture! – I really wish we lived nearer to the seaside. It’s such an interesting place to explore and Boo always has a great time when we finally get there!

Thanks Jenni. Those beaches are about 40 mins away. Freya has always been a bit rubbish in the car but now she’s getting better we can hopefully go more.

Hi Tara, what wonderful photos you take, I love the fence photo, of the different angle! It still is too cold here at the beach. In fact, when we go to the beach in Maine in the summer months, the Atlantic is still cold even then!😊

Thank you. You see people swimming in the sea at all times of the year – sometimes even without wetsuits in the winter. Crazy. It’s never very warm but it was pretty cold that day 🙂

I love the first bird picture with the three and my favourite picture is the wood one. The depth of field in that is great. I love pictures like that. Great shot x

I like that people like the wood one. I don’t feel so daft for taking so many photos of it now. Hehe.

The sea defences have just beautiful leading lines. Love the bird in flight shot too. Is it a seagull? It looks different to the ones we get here.

I think it’s a gull but I’m no expert. We have a bird book so maybe I’ll look it up, just to be sure 🙂 Thanks for commenting, Stella.

Hi Tara, I can imagine that the sea is pretty near freezing still over there! Is it ever warm? I love your pictures. My favourite is the sea defense one. I love the way the pole go out of focus. A close second is the first photo with the seagulls, I wonder what they were having for tea?
