The horizon

Standard
Friday 2nd September 

Sunshine and blue skies above
Gentle waves lapping the shore
At the meeting place of the two
The horizon melts once more

Love you both so much

The far west of Porthmeor Beach
Beautiful blue skies
Lifeguards still on duty
Busy harbour

And suddenly

And suddenly
September's here
A little cooler
Autumn is near
Sun's not so warm
As mists appear
Heading towards
End of the year

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Blue skies early this morning
Grey skies over Porthmeor in the afternoon
But still very warm and incredibly busy
Porthgwidden was a little quieter
Bamaluz, and Porthminster Beach beyond
Porthgwidden, Bamaluz, Porthminster, then Carbis Bay Beach in the distance

A fishing boat on sparkling seas
High tide
Following a stop for coffee, the tide slowly ebbs

Sunny St Ives this morning
Porthmeor was very warm this afternoon
Pretty clouds over the harbour
Two kitesurfers having fun
Windy and choppy
Great conditions
Needing good upper body strength

See you

Now safely back home
With laundry to do
Tidy the garden
And go and see you

Love you both so much
