I’ve been uploading photos of my garden on my Sunday Posts, which have been getting a lot of positive comments, so I have decided to feature the pics in their full size, so you can see some of the detail. Last Friday, we went for a walk along the seafront here in Littlehampton. It wasn’t raining, but it was blowing a hoolie – to the extent that the birds were struggling. The young starlings were all sheltering in the lee of Coastguard station and that seagull roosting on the top of the groin post is looking decidedly grumpy!
Lovely! The bird definitely looks grumpy.
It does, doesn’t it? Poor thing…
🙂
You’re so lucky to live so close to the water. Everyone thinks that if you live in Southern California, you’re steps away from a beach, but the closest beach to me is a solid hour away. Lovely photos!
Yes, I am conscious that I am very lucky – and it’s why I’m not jumping up and down with lots of criticism for those who flocked to the beach during the good weather.
Great photos
Thank you, Rae:))
Beautiful! I love those old-fashioned roses. They grow near the water here, too, and smell so sweet!
They are rosa ragosa, I think – they are very tough and have lovely hips, too:))
Nice! I never knew their formal name- just what Grandma called them 🙂 I’ve noticed the red hips when we’ve gone hiking later in the year, but haven’t gotten around to looking up what to use them for yet!
Wonderful photos, Sarah!
Thank you, Becky:)
I like looking at these pictures. Looks like you had a nice outing, too bad about the hard wind though. We’ve had some hard winds here too this past week. That seagull looks really grumpy indeed. Those flowers look pretty. That second flower I’ve seen around here a few times close to the water, it’s pretty!
Thank you, Lola. Those pretty little flowers are common mallow – they are pretty, aren’t they?
Lovely photos! I bet it was so nice to have a walk along the front, I always think a walk along the sea front blows the cobwebs away. 🙂
It certainly did last Friday as it was VERY blowy:))
Beautiful! And you even have some blue sky! I’ve not seen a crack of blue sky since the rains descended a week or so ago! Grey and rainy every day I’m sad to say…
Thank you, Proxy:). Yes… we had some sun today – enough that I could cut Himself’s hair in the garden!
Oh wow, so many birds on that roof. Like something out of a Hitchcock film. Thanks for sharing more of your lovely garden and seashore pics. They are definitely mood lifters. 🙂
It is a bit like something out of a Hitchcock film, isn’t it? I was startled to see if, which is why I took so many pics of it…
Aw, at least you got out and about!
It was a lovely walk, despite the wind. Living here by the coast, we get used to plenty of blowy weather:))
