photos.


Apologies (as usual) for my lack of regular posting. I'm always amazed you stick around. Here's a photo post to (hopefully) make up for it.

Deb ([livejournal.com profile] deans_babe) and I took a couple of service users from work out for the day today. We went to Boscombe beach (my beach) and Christchurch and here's a selection of photos I took whilst we were out:

Kite surfing!










This is how windy it was today, with sand blowing everywhere, and in the background you can see Bournemouth Pier:


Some trees at Christchurch Priory, taken with colour accent:


Same trees with normal camera setting;


An interesting statue at Christchurch priory; all 4 sides:








I love autumn:



Hope you enjoyed these and that you're all doing okay ♥

Such pretty pictures! And the statue is interesting, do you know what it's about/for?

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't actually - I'll try and find out. Noticed in one of the pictures there's a plaque at the bottom explining it, but I didn't get a close enough picture to read it.

Ohh, that'd be awesome if you could. The art historian in me is just dying to know :D

I'm sure that on the Bournemouth Pier I wouldn't mind even strong wind ;)
And the trees look fantastic!

It was lovely down there today, but then again, it always is =)

I don't know if kitesurfing looks more exciting or terrifying - maybe a bit of both? XD That picture of the trees with the colour accent setting is so cool!

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It looked pretty cool - when the wind got really strong they were pretty much flying!

Thank you ♥

**HUGS**

It was great fun to watch - wouldn't want to do it though!

You shouldn't be too impressed with that effect - it's basically because the viewer on my camera doesn't work for any settings other than digital macro and colour accent, so I tend to now use the colour accent setting a lot!

They ARE mad! The wind was so high today that a lot of them were literally flying more than surfing!

Beautiful photos, sweetheart. I especially love the trees with the gorgeous autumn colors. ♥

Thanks love ♥

the pics of the beach are so lovely! i don't think i've heard of kite surfing before. fall is a wonderful season (it's finally starting to feel colder here, yay!).

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Kite surfing looked amazing - only one out there when we arrived but loads by the time we left =)

I wish it would feel colder here...

Yay pictures! Colour accent trees is now my desktop background. :)

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, that's so sweet! ♥

[identity profile] arkray.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Autumm best season for sure :D :D I like the one where the trees seem to be snowy trees.

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I like that one too =)

Lovely autumn pics :) We had some really nice colours this year as well and I'm still disappointed I didn't get around to taking any pictures.

I'm afraid I was (again) really behind on reading my flist, so... Belated congratulations on getting the ceiling fixed! And I bow at the evidence of your pumpkin-carving mastery, I tried that once and it was messy and slow and difficult and the damn thing went bad the very next day. Yours look fantastic :)

*hugs*
