Last few holiday pics

Hi...just thought will post some of the nicest of the scenic pics from the Hols. As usual picked the wrong week to go away. Kids are off now, so its adult only sites or stay at home


                                                      Max needs a haircut again


                                         Salcombe Lifeboat through the brick window.........


                                       

                                              Batson Creek Salcombe........nice boat


All the next few pics were taken at a very special little beach near Start Point called Mattiscombe.
Quite a walk down a narrow path. This next pic is apparently a survey ship. I thought it was a trawler initially






Salcombe Lifeboat. Always a soft spot for the crew after being rescued some years ago by its predecessor.
That's another story.


                                           Evening over Beesands. A six mile uphill walk


                                          Starhole Bay, end of the Salcombe estuary.


                                                    Start point in the golden hour


                                    Not every day was good..........Salcombe estuary out to sea


                                                    Bit of a play with white balance


                                                         A few shots of the wildlife






                                  A Slow worm shedding its skin on the pavement outside a pub.............



All my shots are as they came from the camera apart from cropping some of them. I am, I suppose an old fashioned photographer. I love the digital format, but prefer to use the skills learnt many years ago with my old OM-2n

Salcombe Sailing and action pics

Just a few shots from a day in Salcombe at the beginning of the holiday.
Will start with the sailing dinghies and end with some action shots taken from our favourite cliff walk.












Just a small selection of loads I took that day........are you bored yet?
Have a look at these, taken from some distance away





This is something I miss the most as we spent many years messing about in boats at Salcombe.
Will add some more pics tomorrow

Post floods holiday in south Devon

Chris has probably told you that we have just returned from 11 days on Start Bay caravan club site near Torcross in the south Hams. Well here is the first chapter of the many photos we took.

The first bunch of pics is from Start Bay itself. Specifically the walk to the Lighthouse




                                             Bloody hell its a long walk back to the car park



                             This is South Hallsands.....or rather what is left after it fell into the sea









Tomorrow will add loads of pics of boats in Salcombe Harbour..........much more interesting
