A Natural High

Rain stopped play today, well almost. A family trip to Sidmouth (just to get out of the house really) turned up a nice clutch of eight Purple Sandpipers, showing really well on rocks adjacent to part of the esplanade. Watching these little gems is always an uplifting experience whatever the weather, in fact rough weather shows them off to their best in my opinion. When I suggested a nice stroll along the esplanade at Sidmouth in wind and driving rain to my ( not at all gullible) family I most certainly didn't have any ulterior motive!! ;-) Light was rubbish for the super-zoom to stand much chance but one photo was a bit of a fluke! :-)

Foul weather, 100% natural, organic, mood enhancer par excellence! :-)
