Hawnby Hill Crag
Hawnby is a small crossroads village and civil parish in Rye Dale in the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire, England.
John Wesley - visited Hawnby in 1757
After staying in Osmotherley he "rode over one of the pleasantest parts of England to Hawnby".
As nature begins a it's journey, let take a moment to reflect on the simple pleasures that surround us.
As I began to photograph this shell, the tide began to cover it. I love how the water formed around it's shape.

As many of u can tell, I haven’t had a lot of time to post or comment much on your photostream lately. Frankly speaking, I am not sure when I’ll have the time to do so like in the past... as I’m totally buggered by the end of the day. Despite that, I will still pop by with a good ole fave to say that i’m still around & that i’ve been looking at your work :) I will continue to post on & off whenever I can as I still have a lot of new & old shots to share here.
As always, please.. no obligation to leave comments or faves ;) I only just want to share my photos with all u awesome flickrers therefore your visit is more than appreciated. Cheers!

I had quite a bit of problem processing & correcting this shot. I know there are still lots to improve here but for me, this image seems kinda dull & i just don't have the mood to make it better :P that's call that plain lazy eh haha! I can see the flaws but you guys just try to see the beauty ok? lol! :P

View On Black it is worth the time.
This is one of a number of shots of my favorite water falls, The icicles were awesome.
Shells in a shell.
These shells, called in Spain "Piedras de Santa Lucía", are the cover of a marine snail characteristic of the Balearic Islands.

I always love this angle of any jetties & as some of you might have know, I've posted the same perspective of another jetty months ago. Even though the same angle however different jetties always give me a different sort of feeling :D partly due to the structure and the water perhaps! I haven't been real active in flickr over the weekend so hope you all are doing well & a happy start to the week! Cheerios!
