I haven't been out with my camera for a while - the weather and other things seem to have got in the way. Anyway, here are a few pics from my archives to show I haven't forgotten everyone.
We start off above in Charlestown on a windy day and below Mevagissey with a few of the fishing boats in the harbour.
Swiftly moving on to a view of the sea from the Esplanade at Fowey - one of my favourite towns.
Shopping now at Trago Mills. They sell just about everything. One of the entrances to the store is via the attractive bridge below.
A splash of the sea now at Spit Beach.
There's a heck of a lot of sand at Padstow - when the tide is out.
Here we are now at Newquay famed for its surfing. The photo, though, is of the harbour.
A glimpse of Cornwall's Eden Project. Plants and flowers tucked up nice and cosy in giant biomes.
A look across the River Fowey to Polruan.
Moving on to Mullion Cove with its granite harbour wall.
Cliffs on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula.
Some interesting thatched cottages to be seen when out and about in Cornwall.
A final stop to enjoy the beach at Bude on Cornwall's north coast.
That's all for now ~ thanks for visiting my blog. Take care.Swiftly moving on to a view of the sea from the Esplanade at Fowey - one of my favourite towns.

All good wishes, Mike.
Some lovely photos here Mike. Boats & water always appeals to me as does red, white and blue.
ReplyDeleteThe sunny scenes and blue skies are a welcome change from the current grim weather
Thanks David - I see the colours you like are very patriotic! I always enjoy the strong colours on your posts. This morning (Wednesday) was quite pleasant, with some sunshine, but has gone downhill this afternoon and feels quite chilly and the sky has turned grey. All the best.
DeleteI never thought I would see a Flamingo on a Cornish beach in my lifetime, even if it is just the name of a boat on Mullion Cove ;-)
ReplyDeleteMind you I have never seen a flamingo in real life either, just yet, but that all might change next year if I travel to Singapore and visit the bird gardens there.
Hello Darren, yes unusual to see a flamingo on a beach! The trip to Singapore sounds interesting, hope you make it. Trust all is well with you, It's dull and chilly in the UK at the moment, plus there have been floods in parts of the country.
DeleteI'm doing OK Mike, but there are currently bad bushfires in my home Australian state of Queensland, which is really just the beginning of the "bushfire/cyclone season" as we head towards summertime and Christmas.
DeleteI'm not a fan of Australian summers ... or Australian summer sport to be honest.
At least Spurs are going well in the EPL I see.
Spurs are doing well - top 0f the Premiership. My grandson is a big fan and has done the stadium tour. In Cornwall it's dull with rain promised. Not my favourite month. Take care.
DeleteOh wow, the sea in your Fowey picture looks sublime. The trip trap entrance to the Trago Mills store looks a little more fun than the Falmouth branch shop. Always lovely to see Newquay harbour :) x
