We visited Perranuthnoe Beach today, just a short stroll across the fields from Ednovean Farm but as we were "resting" between jobs we took the car and admired the car park were usually the surfers park under the sheltering trees with the tantalising glimpse of the sea.
Not for the us the glorious foot path stretching away to Prussia Cove today and beyond, where this week the International Music Seminar is taking place, filling the rocky coves with delightful chamber music...no for the primeval lure of the empty beach and a few moments beside the sea.
We ambled along the tide line, idly watching a solitary dog bounding about with unabated joy, making the most of the precious time until dogs are banned from the beach for the summer, poor thing, before strolling on occasionally spotting the odd strand of sea weed on the perfect expanse of sand.
Even though we live within sight and sound of the sea nothing can capture the power of standing beside the surging water or the absolute thrill of its unstoppable power..............and finding a hole in ones wellies! Still the afternoon was gorgeous, just a little time before tackling the supermarket ready for my Easter Guests
The perfectly smooth reflective surface of the sand
The tide rippling in
The dramatic light
The primal force of the waves
The textures of the guarding rocks, slowly being polished by the tides
The open spaces revealed at low tide
and the sky reflected in the sea pools................Hope to see you in Cornwall very soon!
