Just a few miles northwards, the rock at the coast is noticeably different to that at our local beach. It is softer, so erodes with a completely different feel to the textures and shapes visible. The barnacles and limpets certainly love it, and I think the limpets have had something to do with the creation... Continue Reading →
Last week, a gallery of rockshapes, this week a few alternative shots of the stream that flows out, over, or through the beach (all three really), with the force and speed of it determined by how much rainfall has swollen the two separate streams that join up just behind it.
I have gathered a small gallery of images looking at the interesting rock formations at the beach.
You may have noticed that I have recently tried to post more frequently and regularly than I have managed before -- in fact posting as many of my pictures in the last few weeks as I did for each of the two previous whole years -- but nothing has particularly changed with the amount of...

I've been renewing some content on my Pixels print shop today. In truth, since re-opening the account there in 2020, it hasn't seen much love -- from either me or anyone else. However, as I do see an email from them telling me even my old images on there have been looked at every week,... Continue Reading →
It's a rare day when neither of us is working, so we could go to take a clifftops walk with the dog together. Even rarer was the bright and relatively still day recently. Dark, grey, soaking wet and extremely windy days, the sort when you wish you had chosen a hamster for a pet and... Continue Reading →
We were effectively cut-off a couple of weeks ago. There was just a dusting of snowfall, but the problem was more the ice. It had been raining fairly well the day before the temperatures plummeted, so all the local lanes, covered in water running off the fields that day, became glassy surfaces overnight on which...

A showery day is a good time to head up to the clifftops and see what drama the weather is creating. It was creating quite a lot, as it happens. You probably need to zoom in a little to see how glassy calm the sea was, with it even reflecting the passing clouds, but the... Continue Reading →
Some exposed stonework in a traditional Cornish hedge, all the stones selected one at a time for the best fit, by eye and experience, as it was being built by hand many years ago, and no doubt now providing a whole dry and relatively warm ecosystem of its own for all sorts of nature. There... Continue Reading →
I've got quite used to the one picture a week posting schedule. It seems quite manageable to find one picture worth posting on my blog, once a week.
I was doodling around on the social site Mastodon when I saw a very familiar sight. Someone had posted a shot of the fabulous Millook cliffs, and talked in his post about how he had waited for a woman walking up the beach to enter the frame, to give an idea of the scale of... Continue Reading →
Big skies are a particular love of mine, so it's a good thing we're living here in north Cornwall.
