Semaphore Jetty Pelicans
This photo holds very special memories for me. The week before I had become redundant in my job and I was devastated and feeling very low. My lovely friend suggested we go for lunch at a seaside cafe and we walked and talked and walked and talked.
I had decided only that day to take up a hobby - I had never had a hobby before and I thought I would spend some time learning how to take a nice photo.
Anyway, we walked back from the end of the jetty, we walked past these 3 pelicans and they just sat and stared at us. I remembered that I had a camera in my handbag, got it out, took 2 photos and was hooked! I loved taking photos!
This photo remains a firm favourite of mine. My friend also has a copy hanging on her wall at home and we often talk about this moment being both an ending and a beginning.
