Smile on Saturday theme is "two times two". For this theme you should take a picture of 'twice two similar items'.
This image was captured during a recent explore of a local woodland, with the aim of photographic bluebells.
The group of bluebells seen here are on part of an Iron age hillfort. The potential view here reminds me of Chun Castle in Cornwall, where you can see for miles. If you do visit Chun Castle and wonder where the stones are, they were robbed by the Victorian and used down in Penzance.
Something that I noticed was some of the trees and their colouring. Almost as if spring and autumn have meet.

I captured this one morning while leading a workshop in September 2015. Everybody was set up and waiting for the sun to rise and this particular morning revealed one of the finest sunrises I can ever remember. The colours grew and grew and grew more intense with each passing minute and we all stood there so happy at what we were witnessing as well as capturing on camera.
For me, I love the reflections of those wonderful fiery colours in the water left behind on the beach as the tide went out. The two hundred and four-year old lighthouse you see in the distance shone its light every few seconds. Whenever I see a lit lighthouse before sunrise, it always makes me smile for some reason.

Two fishing boats unloading the catch. Whitstable was famous for its 'Native Oysters' which were collected from beds beyond the low water mark from Roman times until the mid-20th century. This is celebrated at the annual Whitstable Oyster Festival. I can recommend the Lobster and fries.
Tried some of the indian elements on the breakfast buffet - all very monotone! The white dumpling is idli - a steamed cake, made of fermented de-husked black lentils and rice, and the white bowl is full of coconut chutney. Not sweet, a curious texture and flavour.
And in the cup? Masala chai...... made by brewing black tea with milk and water, and adding spices. This tasted almost coffee-like - and is a warm brown colour - almost looks like mocha.....
124 in 2024 no 68. Mocha (almost....)
AND - as I've just seen the theme fr this week's Smile on Saturday, it seems doubly appropriate! As I'd usually choose tea - but the question I ask when drinking masala chai, is to wonder whether it is actually coffee!!!

I spent the day on Monday at the beach, at Hengistbury Head in Dorset.I am trying out a 4 day week to 'see if I like it' before having to make a decision at Christmas whether to go back to full time. I don't think I am gong to find that decision too difficult!!
still no update to say whether all of my photos can be retrieved from my broken external hard drive - please keep your fingers crossed for me...
