Birds and Binstead Beach
I am still posting my photographs from the Isle of Wight and this time it is the turn of a walk on Binstead Beach which was the closest one to my daughters home. I am told that a lot of the vertical planks of wood are from the old sea wall. I loved the textures against the blue skies and I hope there will be some that you like also. At the end I slotted in a few of Charlie, the dog, as he was always with me and that is why the birds were at a bit of a distance when I photographed them, so he would not spook them!

Some really good artistic shots Margaret.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Roy and I am glad you liked them. Having seen David's post yeserday with wonderful B& W shots, I wondered would some of these shots lend themselves to Black and white treatment. Might try that sometime.
DeleteNice pictures!
ReplyDeleteGlad that the web page got itself sorted out!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne

DeleteWhat a truly beautiful spot - and equally beautiful dog. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi EC Glad you liked the post and thanks for comment Charlie will be pleased.
DeleteGreat shots Margaret, I really like the colours and the textures in these photos :-)
ReplyDeleteHI David Many thanks for comments. You may have erad me reeoly to Roy whenI said I wondered if these shots would lead themselves to B&W editing? You are more of an expert in this field. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteSome very artistic shots there Margaret. It looks like my kind of place, I could spend hours there just photographing those weather/water beaten posts, there's some great textures there.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Charlie he looks full of beans and ready to go!!!...[;o)
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteHi Tanna Thanks for comment and glad you enjoyed the post.
DeleteThat's the kind of beach I like, plenty of Oystercatchers, just wish I could swap places with Charlie.
ReplyDeleteHi Douglas Thanks for comment and glad you enjoyed the oystercatchers adn of course Charlie!
DeleteSuch artfully created images Margaret!! That one tree that juts out from the banks looks a lot like it has antlers. Marvelous captures. And Charlie...he's adorable!!
ReplyDeleteHI Anni Thanks for comment and glad you enjoyed the Black adn white images adn of course Charlie.
DeleteThe birds are good, but I really think they are outshone by the beach scenes. What beautiful light and composition. I must catch up with your posts but the internet is driving me nuts here.
ReplyDeleteYou took some great pictures along the beach there Margaret. It Seems strange that here in Greece there aren't any noisy Oystercathcers on teh beaches. Catch up with you soon.
ReplyDeleteHI Phil I wonder why there are no Oystercatchers in Greece! Thanks for comment and glad you enjoyed the bach shots.
DeleteHi Adri an The birds are not great shots because I was so faraway from them,,keeping Charlie out of their way and I love the other shots myself. Sorry to know your internet is bad and thanksf or comments.
ReplyDeleteDon't I know that problem with dogs and birds. I must ask Keith where the wonderful image he took of two Blue Tits fighting at Ullswater is. They were like a little feathery ball in the grass. Both dogs were stunned into inactivity.
DeleteHI Adrian You should have a word with Charlie, he knows all about his mission of chasing birds!!
Deletereally like the worn posts. the pier is pretty, too. charlie is a doll.
ReplyDeleteHI Tex I always know you are going to like Charlie but unfortunately I won't be seeing him for a while so no more photos. Thanks for comment.
DeleteI love hw quiet the beach appears to be. How nice of Charlie to be your companion even if he did frighten the birds away.
ReplyDeleteHI EG Yes the beach was very quiet but I had charlie far enough away from the birds that they were left in piece but my photo were not good then. One cannot have everything. glad you liked the post an thanks for comment.
DeleteAh, Charlie's a lovely dog and your photos are as always brilliant. Thank you Margaret and have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHI Denise Many thanks for comments and glad you liked the post and of course Charlie
ReplyDeleteI like the oystercatcher and curlew photos :)
ReplyDeleteHI lou Mary Thanks for comment adn I am glad you liked the birds.
DeleteThis one piece of driftwood looks like it has legs and can almost walk away, like a live walking stick! I love the green rope shots, and the picture of the boat in the distance. Is Charlie your daughter's dog? He is beautiful and has a sweet countenance.
