Morning Three

It was a very different sort of dawn today. Chilly (I was wearing a fleece for the first time), with a sliver of moon shining down from a clear, crisp sky, littered with stars.

As it began to get light, I wandered down to the beach in the hope of something beautiful, but the shortage of clouds meant that the dazzling displays of the last two days were not going to be repeated.

But my patience was rewarded, as the sun rose like a giant red ball behind what clouds there were on the horizon, in a show of fire and light. And right on cue, this fishing boat chugged across the frame and the seagulls which were accompanying it came too!

Out of the 170 shots taken this morning, about three were any use. Thank goodness for digital. I wouldn't be doing that on film!

So, it's another glorious day here on Paradise Beach. A bit more work to do, a trip to the shops in Guadiaro and maybe I'll get the roof painted after all.

You never know. Oh, and a dip in the sea, naturally.
