Gone Surfing
It was a gorgeous Bank Holiday Monday here. Clear blue skies saw the temperature drop to 4ºC over night but the sun was up early and it soon warmed up. With no wind at all it was a perfect day for the beach. My parents were still here along with my sister and her children...
Patterns in the Sand
I’ve just been out for a stroll on the beach to check the surf. There wasn’t much surf but it was a gorgeous autumnal morning. Cold with a light easterly wind and clear blue skies. I couldn’t resist taking some photos of the patterns in the sand.
My First Surfing Lesson
Summer must be here – I’ve just got back from taking Morgan for his first surf lesson. It wasn’t that much of a lesson really, just getting him used to being in the sea and riding a board. I gave him a push onto most waves, but got him steering whilst lying down and as...
Borth & Ynyslas Beach Clean
Morgan and I wandered across to the beach to help with the Borth & Ynyslas Beach Clean yesterday. Dave & Sarah organise these on a fairly regular basis and recently for various reasons such as being away, children’s parties, too windy etc. etc. we’ve been unable to help out so it was good to be...
Photos at Midday
I know that for the best light you should really take photos early in the morning or in the evening, but at this time of year at these latitudes there can even be some fairly rich light at midday. I just wandered over to the beach for some fresh air. There wasn’t much going on...
The Height of Luxury
As the title of this website states, we are supposed to be living a Simple Life of Luxury here in West Wales. I think we are achieving that. To add to the luxury we are currently fitting a new en-suite shower room to the house. We’ve been planning to do this since building the house...
Beach Art & Photography
Our busy weekend continued with a day on the beach (after re-visiting the moth traps set the night before). Morgan and I had a play in the sea, which gave me a chance to get my waterproof camera properly wet. It coped well and considering its size and durability I’m still pretty impressed with the...
A stroll on the beach
After collecting Morgan from school yesterday we popped in to see a friend but a Morgan was nodding off to sleep I decided to take him for a little stroll on the beach for some fresh air to revitalise him! I had my little compact Pentax Optio W60 waterproof camera with me so I took...
Pretty in Pink
I got up early this morning and whilst messing around with my camera before my little photo assignment at the Lake Vyrnwy Half Marathon tomorrow I snapped this photo. Flowers make such good subjects, amazing colours, lovely textures and (as long as it isn’t windy) they don’t move either. Looks as though it should be...
