A miscellany of (mostly) close-ups taken on our walk on 13th July 2026. Enjoy…
🔼 You don’t need me to tell you this is a face-full of sea-spray! Great for cooling you down 🔽 Hollyhocks, they’re everywhere in this resort, colouring gardens and colouring the cliffs! ⏬
🔽 Scarlet Pimpernel, tucked beneath a ??? fern
Pond flowers 🔼 Water Lilies 🔽
🔽Water Figwort. Toxic, upsets the belly, big-time, but not a killer
🔽 Yellow Loosestrife
Pond life 🔼 Moorhen. Usually so shy but I guess here it’s grown used to people 🔽 Not so coy Koi
The dune community…
🔼 Tree Lupin, which isn’t a tree, now in seed 🔽 Sea Pea peeking out from beneath a boat
🔼 An enormous growth of Sea Kale. Edible? Maybe if you cook it long enough 🔽 Yarrow’s not at all fussy, it’ll grow anywhere
🔼 Hare’s Foot Clover getting friendly with Lady’s Bedstraw 🔽 Sea Holly. Isn’t it beautiful ⏬
And that, my friends, is all for now. Hope you enjoyed.
Next week, due to medical appointments and such, we’re taking a step back in time, into the depths of my archives, to photos you’ve not seen before

















Thanks for that refreshing splash💦 I needed waking up😃 you’ve got some lovely shots – that sea holly is so pretty I don’t think I’ve seen it before 🙌

I love sea holly. Such a pretty flower. But very very prickly to stand on bare-footed!

It was quite a dull day so I’m happy they came out with so much colour!

Love the pond flowers and water lilies but I’ll take a pass on the kale!

Rather eat the water lily roots… apparently edible!

Very pretty. I had not seen that holly before. It looks like it’s from a fantasy☺️

It’s beautiful, isn’t it. And very prickly!
