I thought it would be a good idea to share my little corner of the world with you from time to time...
Having lived on an island for more than twenty years, I tend to take views such as this one for granted. Shame on me!... My daughter has taken up photography this year as one of her A-Levels subjects and I am her chauffeur, helping her getting from A to B. Through our walks and her pictures, I am re-discovering my surroundings.
Our beaches are quite deserted at this time of year. This photograph of Yaverland beach was taken yesterday morning. You can just make out a couple of walkers in the far distance and a lonely seagull....
The beach huts are all closed, waiting for the Summer to return...
I hope you have enjoyed these views from the Isle of Wight. I will try to make a regular feature of showing you my part of the world through the lenses of a camera (today courtesy of my daughter's).
yes, Francoise, I would love it if you would show us glimpses of your beautiful island now and then. I have always been curious about the pretty beach huts that I see often in photos. They look kind of small to me and I have always wondered what they are for.

Good morning from Carlsbad, California!! There are many stretchs of beach area here in CA that look remarkably like your coastline in your part of the world. We have our share of wide sandy beaches, but we also have many rugged areas. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to viewing the rest of your blog.

What a beautiful island, it must be wonderful to walk along the shore and smell the sea and feel this very special crisp air on you cheeks. I have enlarged the pictures and saw that on your first picture are people walking their dog and I thought what happy dog owners they are to walk a dog at a beach each day, to play with him there and then come back home for a huge breakfast and really refreshed to start a new day. Most lucky you!
