More photos...

...from our walk on the beach.

You might want to grab a cuppa as this is quite photo heavy.

Considering we had downpours all morning, when we went to the beach...

 ...the sun was glorious and the skies beautifully blue.
Camber Sands is known for its drifting sands as it tends to be very windy...

 ...so I'm not sure I'd want to have a property right on the beach like these ones.
Although Rene had her hat on she was still struggling with the wind blowing her hair all over the place...

 ...but that blue sky was not to be missed.
Alison was trying to get some shots of the horses...

 ...not easy to do when you are facing into the sun (see her shadow).
Despite the wind, it was so lovely being down on the beach...

...but the photos of the horses were pretty much a case of 'point & shoot' and keep your fingers crossed. I didn't quite get my timing right with Alison & the horse...

 ...but this one was much better even though it was the result of more luck than judgement.
We were all having fun trying to get photos of shadows...

 ...some came out better than others...

 ...especially as the sun had started to come and go as the wind blew more clouds in land.
Here was one of the better results of pointing the camera towards the horses...

 ...and just hoping that they would be in frame.
Rene & Chris looking a bit worse for the blustery wind...

 ...but still enjoying the bracing sea air.
Folk in the UK may remember that there were a few serious accidents at Camber Sands last Summer...

...one of the problems is that folk don't keep an eye on the tide as it starts to come in. There are gullies that fill behind sand banks and if you don't stay alert you can get cut-off by the tide.
Some more shadows...

 ...this time in the reflection of the sand pools.
As you can see here...

 ...the tide was starting to work its way in land.
Another shadow on the water...

 ...and more...

 ...this was about the best I could manage...

 ...of a shadow showing all five of us.
The beach ahead of us was gradually being covered by the tide...

 ...and the gully in front of us was starting to get quite deep so we started to make our way off the beach.
Just a short distance from the beach we came across this...

 ...it looks a bit like something out of the Hobbit...

 ...I wonder if anyone ever sits there?

The clouds were certainly starting to roll in and we timed it really well because it was just starting to spit with rain as we arrived back at the house. Within a short space of time the rain was chucking it down.

No more venturing out for us. A phone order to the Indian take-away and we were settled in for the night..................................................
