Autumn days
As the days shorter, and much of our time still being taken up volunteering we don't have so much time to get out and explore and photograph the amazing scenery all around us....
Luckily early morning dog walks give us a chance to watch the sun coming up
The wellington boots are once again in daily use with the ground always damp with dew. The appearance of misty mornings adds a certain magic to the familiar views.
We try to snatch an occasion half day and a trip to the neighbouring town of Lyme Regis reminds us of foreign holidays, especially when the sky is so blue and the temperatures above average for this time of year.
It is easier now with the height of the tourist season over, to walk along deserted beaches,
tasting the tang of sea spray from the waves...
or watch the sun go down on another autumn day.
I.m sorry I have such a poor record of blogging this year, hope you are still around to enjoy this post.

love these photos. thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post, Sarah. The beach is spectacular and the fourth photo is frame worthy.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful images, especially the stone on the beach - it looks soft as if someone has poured it there, a mound of molten stone. I want to sit on it!
ReplyDeleteWish I had known about the film but found out too late. Will definitely watch it on 11th November though.
ReplyDeleteYour Autumn images are special - I particularly like the one of the photographer going about his business whilst Tavi goes about his.
You have captured beautiful moments. I love the one with the white frothy waves. I will look out for the film - not heard about it. x
ReplyDeleteI particularly love that first photo although the others are beautiful too. I didn’t see the film but read about the enhanced film. I look forward to seeing it. Enjoy the gorgeous light at the moment. B x
ReplyDeleteHello Sarah dear! I am still here, and I'm enjoying your lovely photos and rough and rugged seascapes! I see Tavi is still out and about on the shores with you, and I hope your retirement is going well. Oh what a gorgeous season this has been!
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoy the one second to last, because of the various beautiful colors of the sea. We never see them here in our landlocked area.
ReplyDeleteI just happened to see that they are in discussion to release that film internationally...so maybe I can see it someday soon over here.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so lovely and do not worry about lack of blog posts! I think all of us have cut back...life just interferes !
What gorgeous photos, I'm glad you're managing to snatch at least the odd half day out. You're both stars for doing so much volunteering. I saw a snippet of that film, it looked absolutely amazing, it really brought it to life seeing it coloured and with sound. Back to wellies for dog walking here as well, the grass is soaking most mornings now. I hope you have a good week with the odd little bit of time out. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteSuch striking photos that capture very well the beauty of west Dorset!
ReplyDeleteI cant watch films like "They shall not grow old" I find them too distressing. So many young men slaughtered because the generals couldnt think of any better way to end a conflict.
It looks like a lovely day :)
ReplyDeleteIt is such a treat when you do post! I have just managed about one a month and was thinking of you when I recently posted some views of Bodega Bay, CA. I read of the film but have not seen it. I don't have wellies but I do wear rubber clogs out and about in the yard even though most of the time the ground is still parched here in the Pacific Northwest. Meteorologists are predicting rain this week though and I for one am looking forward to it! Happy volunteering and bravo for doing it, Sarah xx
ReplyDeleteLovely to have another little glimpse of the Dorset coast, I love beaches when they're more deserted and somehow more peaceful. Thanks for flagging up the film - I'll certainly keep an eye out for it on11/11. Both of my grandfathers served - one in Egypt and Gallipolli, the other invalided out from France after being shot through the chest (but survived after a long convalescence). Terrible times; I don't think young people today have any idea. Hope you're well; keep enjoying those chilly morning walks! xx
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful photography~ love the coast around you...we do a few very early starts when we collect sophia from her fathers home. We leave before 7am and head across the moors~ i love that time because the sun and low mist is breathtaking...i dont think my partner shares my enthusiasm when he has to do a night shift. But on his days off and holidays we often drive somewhere early to see the beauty of the landscape and without people around. x
ReplyDeleteYour beach has dramatic scenery.
