Blowing the cobwebs away...

...with a stroll on the beach.

The sun was glorious...

 ...but as you can see, we were well wrapped up.
Views along the beach showed the surface of the sand moving in the wind...

 ...and it certainly looked like the owners of these properties would be clearing sand away from their walls yet again. The surface of the sand may look a little hazy here...

...but that was because it was moving and blowing across the ground.
This chap didn't seem to mind...

 ...he was out for a bit of fun dashing about on the beach.
The water was pretty choppy...

 ...but folk were enjoying a stroll along the waterline.
There were others enjoying the water's edge...

...this was a horse and rider doing a sharp turn.
Rene was trying to get a few shots of the horses without the sun's glare...

 ...but it was very difficult taking photos with the strong winds. I didn't event know whether I had caught anything with these next two shots...

 ...I couldn't see anything in the viewfinder...

...and had to wait until I found some shade until I could see what was actually in the shot.

I'll share some more beach shots another day.......................................................
