Frankenstein, A Lobster Fisherman, A Winner and an Interview!



Photo a Day
16.07.07
Yesterday, Skinningrove Beach






“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful,
or believe to be beautiful”

William Morris


I think this was one of the best photographs I took yesterday.
As we were walking back to the car I caught the sight of a fishing boat being towed out of the sea by the fordson tractor.
My camera does not have a great zoom facility but that made the whole composition so astoundingly telling of the sitation I wanted to capture.
Skinningrove is a working environment, here we witness fishing occurring where we are, in the midst of the beautiful environment.
The colours cut through the atmosphere and evoke sharp, clean lines.

This picture really inspired me in my quest at home to de-clutter our house.
I have printed the quotation onto the photograph and will use it as inspiration as I endeavour to really get to grips sorting out the various rooms.....watch this space!

Drum roll.................

shuffle shuffle.....





shuffle....




hmmm..............that one...




and the winner is...........




Rosie!

Thanks for all the votes re my photographs of the beach huts.
Picture 1 was the clear winner!


A busy weekend as usual...
Saturday morning Wilma and I were off to the beach!




The place to ourself, though it was quite windy!







This chap was on his way to catch lobsters,
a working beach!





Driving home, we passed one of the many farms.
This picture was taken from my car, didn't even get out!




The road leading down to the beach.



Saturday was a busy day, as after lunch I had an appointment here.....





Don't worry, I am not poorly or visiting, I was due to be on the radio,



with Nick Murray!




In a short while there will be a link from my blog, to the Radio Station blog and you will be able to hear the interviews.
I am often on the Hospital Radio. I enjoy taking in songs which I enjoy listening to, and sharing stories behind the songs on air.
On Saturday i took a couple of photographs as prizes for the popular raffle.
The photographs were of the beach huts.
I thought they would bring sunshine!



Two other guests were there too...
Jack, the astrologer gave a fantastic account of what is happening at the moment.
Totally fascinating.





I always enjoy the journey home from the built up areas.







On Sunday a really good couple of hours on the beach with Wilma.






On the way I spotted the cows in the field opposite our house.






This picture captured the scene totally...




Some cropped pictures of Wilma!







We made the most of the weather and went to Whitby for lunch!



We went up to west Cliff as I wanted to take this...



Not really successful, but I will work on a few more ideas next time I am in Whitby!
As I got off the bike I just couldn't believe what I saw...literally this chap was walking along on the pavement!
LOL!


Another busy weekend and an even busier week instore as I now begin the big clear up!
Watch this space!

You manage to find such isolated beaches...sheer bliss and so wonderful for Wilma. The photos are all wonderful; though really intrigued by Frankenstein's monster (always felt really sorry for him).....guess he's looking for a secluded beach too.

What an amazing blog...found you on mine thought I would pop over...what lovely pictures! Whitby always fascinates me ...because we are used to the grey slate and stone of Wales to see so much red ...tiles, bricks etc
Will be back.

Denise, enjoyed the photos. I can't imagine you having that beautiful beach all to yourself. Where are all the people?

That William Morris quote is one of my favorites as well. And I love the beach photos!

Thanks everybody, I sometimes wonder about sharing a lot of pics of Wilma, but she is so lovely! She must be the most photographed dog in the area! LOL!

I was that Monster! I was very pleasantly surprized to see the picture whilst browsing.
