That went well… NOT. Last blog post hinted at me hoping to get time to get out and take some photos but who was i trying to kid. Between storms and snow and work and life, things just add up don’t they and after budgeting my time where its needed most and then nature taking over I think I was in negative time equity which in reality looks like camera still in the case and resting, always in the car in anticipation of being set free.

So it was with great delight that Karens birthday was coming up and what better way to spend it with her than a good wee walk up the North Coast. Cue the Annual leave booked, Grandparents booked and weather checked (not that I’m into checking weather for taking photos…it was more that we would actually be able to get out of the car). Luckily for me Karen loves the North Coast and... and… and she is my biggest fan and encourages me no end to take photos. So where did we end up in the North Coast, yep thats right, back to Mussenden and Castlerock beach. We just love it there. We only had limited time and we know exactly what we are in for when we are there, fresh air and space. (yes that space thing again which is so important).

So the shot accompanying this blog is from Castlerock Beach at the far end towards Portstewart strand (please don’t try to swim across the gap). I love watching the waves and when we eventually reached the point where I took this shot we just stood and watched, completely mesmerised by the waves hitting the little pier, and what is it about big waves hitting the shore that you just want to get closer and closer, especially with a camera that has a short focal length on the lens.

Then boom and reality hit, or rather our stomachs cried out and we were on our way for food. Heres hoping March gives me a call about the… opportunities.

I hope you are doing alright, wherever you may be.
