Porthminster Beach #1

Posted by Heyjude on Jul 16, 2017Jan 10, 2022

Keeping it simple this week as an unforeseen family incident has interrupted my peaceful life in the south-west corner, but these images were taken just before that took place. Porthminster Beach in St Ives around 8 p.m. on a beautiful evening. I spent a couple of hours wandering the beaches and photographing the sunset. Little did I know what the future held for me and primarily, my son, just 48 hours later.

You may not see too much of me in the blogging world for bit, as I need to go away, but I will try to pop in to at least like your posts, if not comment. And hopefully it won’t be too long before I can walk on these beaches again.

All best wishes to you and yours, Jude. These photos are exquisite and all the more poignant in their ‘peace before the stormness.’

    One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in my life is how quickly ones life can change – in the blink of an eye.

Those are appealing morsels you found on the beach. Too bad I couldn’t have joined you; I’d have photographed them too.

Like everyone else, I’m sorry to hear of your family’s travails.

Good news on the second count. As for the first, let’s hope someday it’ll come to pass.
