There's a certain amount of post-editing here, in case that disapproved of. All my photos are just camera pics.

I'm sure we don't disapprove, especially for a very creative selfie.

Personally I'm much more likely to disapprove when someone says "Straight out of the camera/phone", as if the camera/phone hasn't already done a shedload of processing.

The endless blue skies broke this afternoon. It was a good run though.

Top one is fab, WoW.

Cheers. I just about got enough of the sea in the top left to leave a clue as to the orientation of the beach. I’ve done quite a few of these types now, a go to in ‘poor’ light (harsh or dull they can still work out Ok).
On the topic of editing, B/W was much more effective than colour, bringing out the contrast between wet and dry sand.

Almost tempting to omit the clue to orientation.

True that. Looking at it again, It probably does look better that way.

In the absence of sun today...

Technical fail on the first (not bright enough for a fast-enough shutter speed to freeze the bee). The second is a sleepy dandelion.

Reckon like that you could fill a whole wall with that photo and it'd look amazing.

I was in my grenier hoping for a rainbow through the Velux, but as none appeared, I took a couple of snaps of the roof timbers and their woodworm (treated), thinking of @rjsterry - no connection with the woodworm, you understand.

Thought you'd like 'em. Sorry I forgot to put anything in for scale, but they are about 10" square/round.

Actually, the grain and the shakes give a pretty good idea of scale, so I'd have guessed about that size. Just make sure you keep them dry!

Hence the new roof. Typical French bodge the way they've rested the new stuff on top, but I don't think it's going anywhere.
