Summer’s here

It seems like it has been some time since we experienced a full on summer in the UK. Maybe that is just my experience, living in Wales – as the west of the UK does get more rain – or maybe it’s just age wreaking havoc with my short term memory!

However, the truth is that the weather has been fabulous for two weeks and we had a warm dry Spring. If you know anything about the UK then you will know that it will only take a couple of more weeks of this lovely sunshine and we will experiencing a drought, or at least that is how it will be reported.

In the meantime the sun shines, the average daily temperature is in the 20s and I have only needed a sheet to cover myself at night for 10 days or more. Added to that the sea is actually quite warm, warm enough for even me to go swimming twice this last week. I say ‘swimming’, bobbing about would be more accurate. But I am in and it is gorgeous.

I thought I would share a few of my favourite photos of this last two weeks as a precursor to more summer and more photography to come. I do love all this brilliant sunshine. It is great for shadows, depth, vibrancy, reflections and silhouettes. Do get out there and create. Here they are.
