Beached - Sepia Saturday


I nave lost count on how many beaches I have admired, even the empty ones which stretch from the:


Shoreline of Lake Michigan
To the sands of Cornwall.

Empty sands at Crantock, Cornwall
And nearer home in North Yorkshire.

Whitby looking towards Sandsend
However beaches are meant to be played on like this one more that 50 years ago (that's the nearest I'm allowed to date it)

Amy (on the left) and her daughter (future mother-in-law and wife)
Some years later in the 1970s, I get in on the act. Note the flared trousers.

The Scotneys and Andrew, their younger son
A few years earlier it was a case of someone taking charge.

Sandsend again. (Bob, Adrian, Andrew, Rachel laying down the law)
Same beach on a different day, some years later.

Andrew and his children
Apart from empty beaches we can even find an unusually empty sea.

This brings me to the UK Pro Surf Tour's Rookie of the Year 2013, grandson Angus Scotney and - .

If you wish to get more sand between your toes and other unmentionable places then catch a wave and surf over to Sepia-Saturday-202.

Angus On The Water - Thematic Photography

When Carmi posted 'On The Water' as the theme for this week's thematic photographic I knew exactly what I would show.

My grandson, Angus, is currently in Nicaragua at the ISA Junior World Surfing Championships. He is a member of the GB team for the Under 16 Boys. I have no pictures of him there on the water but have a collection from elsewhere.

You can watch the surfing in Nicaragua live at http://www.isasurf.org/ each day from 3pm UK time (8am Nicaragua). Angus should be on around 9.30pm (UK) tonight.

Meanwhile back in Cornwall things are much more sedate.
