Godrevy in High Zoom
I took a little trip to Godrevy to try out my new zoom lens. It’s an Olympus 75-300mm (150-600mm equivalent on my Micro 4/3 camera). I don’t have a tripod so I wanted to see how things went. Obviously I usually wouldn’t use a big zoom for landscapes but it did a good job of the flowers and I could barely see the helicopter or seal with the naked eye 🙂
Also, I know the white balance is off. My camera warned me about it but I don’t know which of the million buttons to push to do that so I left it alone.
Here’s a seal on max zoom. He’s there on the rock 🙂
Sharing My World 2016 Week 45
Here is my post for Cee’s Share Your World. How did it get to be week 45? I’m not ready to start thinking about Christmas. Not ready, I say.
Describe your own outlook on life in seven words or less. (NOTE:  does not  have to be a sentence.)
Just take it day by day.
Where do you like to vacation?
I just stick around here.
Candy factories (sweets or treats including chocolate) of the entire world have become one and will now be making only one kind of candy. Which kind, if you were calling the shots?
I really like anything with a chocolate outside and some kind of squishy inside, like praline or whatever, so I’ve decided to team up with Dawn over at The Day After (Lingering Visions) and have a Lindt truffle factory. We only need one more vote to make it happen. It’s the law! Who’s with us?
Complete this sentence: Something that anyone can do that will guarantee my smile is…Â
Smile at me. It would be rude not to smile back. And it’s nice to be smiled at.
Daily Post Photo Challenge – Boundaries
This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is all about boundaries – of any description.
The path is clearly marked. Do not cross this boundary! (Godrevy, Cornwall.)
The boundary between Earth and the infinite beyond. (Out the front of my house, Cornwall.)
Safety and… well, falling off a cliff :-(. (St Michael’s Mount, Cornwall.)
A Morning at Godrevy
Yesterday I went for a visit to Godrevy, another location owned by the National Trust. In contrast to Trelissick, Godrevy is all cliffs and beaches.
I’ll let the pictures do the talking 🙂
Weekly Photo Challenge: Sea
Weekly Photo Challenge: Sea –Â share a photo which means SEA to you.
The sea – wild, vast, untameable.

Nature, No Question
Daily Prompt: The Natural World –Â Describe your first memorable experience exploring and spending time in nature. Were you in awe? Or were you not impressed? Would you rather spend time in the forest or the city?
Photographers, artists, and poets: show us NATURE.
I’m the  type of chap who prefers being at least reasonably close to nature. That’s fairly easy since I live in Cornwall, in the far South West of England.
Perranporth, Cornwall
I often visit Godrevy when I fancy a nice quiet walk – beaches, cliffs and moorland. It’s only a few miles from my house.
Godrevy, Cornwall
I spent many, many holidays in the North of Scotland.
Somewhere in the North of Scotland
I lived in Cork, Ireland for four years.
This little lake is either in County Cork or County Kerry – I was never sure where the border was
I’ve lived in Cork city, Guildford and Stuttgart – all cities, but I prefer nature, and it was never too far away!
I guess I’ve been pretty lucky.

Woohoo!
I totally didn't win!
