    I watched today's episode using my brand new *Apple AirPods Max on Apple TV* .
    What a differnce. I could hear all the seagull and other birds' sounds. Purring, squawking, crying, squealing.........And even the ocean waves. An excellent video and beautiful photos as usual. Thanks.

    Just found you and thank you. My escape for a few minutes. My description of this is soul speak, can't describe it any other way lol. Gorgeous spot and gorgeous images. I felt the peace and wonder, I was lucky enough to be camping on a beach once, it was dead calm, same, and there were two dolphins playing as the sun was setting. You could still hear them splashing as the light disappeared. Looking forward to watching more.

    I've always preferred the peace of sunrise as there are often more people around at sunset but after 3.5 months of lockdown I've discovered more the 'joy' of getting up at stupid O'clock for summer sunrises. No-one but photographers are stupid enough to do it so we get to enjoy many places in solitude. Love the idea of your 'Plan Chest' for prints.....one day maybe the kids will leave home and I'll get a room for a studio with one and a decent printer!🙄

    Simplistic in photography is a lost art these days with camera phones and the such. It is so easy to just take a quick pick and keep moving. Slowing down and waiting to see what the landscape is going to do on its own is just a special moment so many miss...

    Stunning serene peaceful morning for a yomp on the beach and what - sand on the beach ha ha ! Great tide timing with the virgin beach, rivulets and S curves to shoot - one of my favourite spots for this type of photography is Formby Beach - there's an oil rig off the coast which makes for a superb minimal shot at sunset. I was trying to work out where you were and was actually thinking Formby with those pines behind the dunes. Great stuff Nigel :)

Wishing you well for the next week from here in Florida.
