One of our objectives for our trip to Cornwall was to visit St Ives – home of both Tate Modern St Ives, and the Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden. The garden was inspirational, and the gallery challenging, but this piece on display in the gallery really resonated with me…

Day 133 – White Space…
Walls and ceiling in our holiday accommodation – I was taken with the juxtaposition of the angles and shades of light flooding through the windows. 
Day 132 – Defying Gravity…
Tonight’s outing was to the Minack Theatre near Land’s End. An amazing venue, carved out of the side of a cliff and hosting everything from music concerts to Shakespeare, it was conceived and largely built by Rowena Cade and her gardener from 1930 onwards. The performance tonight was by ‘Gravity’ – a rock/indie band based locally. Even though the day had been warm, it was far from warm when the sun went down! A magical experience nevertheless…
Day 130 – In The Pink…
Ignoring the forecast of rain, we walked a section of the South West Coastal Path in Cornwall today. Such beautiful scenery, enhanced by a colourful display of spring flowers, including this Pink Thrift. A nice walk, good friends, and a good pub for lunch – what’s not to like?
Day 129 – Home From Home…
Well, not exactly our home, but looking forward to staying in Cornwall for the next 12 days or so. There will be lots more photos to follow I’m sure!

Day 128 – Wet And Windy…
On a dry summer’s day, the canal towpath at Audlem would be heaving with people. As well as locals (many of them dog-walkers) there would be lots of tourists too, but today’s wet and windy weather kept them all away. 
Day 127 – Good Morning World…
This was the sun coming up at the ungodly hour of 530am today. With no trains running over the Bank Holiday, our weekend guests needed to catch the 622am train back to London in time for work today… I’m up early most days, but not usually this early!
Day 126 – Nice Motor!
Spotted outside our local restaurant this evening – a rather snazzy Maserati. Very smart indeed…
Day 125 – Looming Clouds…
This is the view from the top of Wenlock Edge, looking out towards Shrewsbury. With a few friends from the local tennis club, we enjoyed a 7 mile ‘sociable’ walk this morning – a gentle pace, with plenty of time for chatting. And then a visit to the local pub for refreshments! A great way to spend Sunday. 
Day 124 – End Of The Season…
It may be the end of the soccer season, but it’s also pretty much the end of the bluebell season around here. Yes, there are still quite a few around (overall it’s been one of the best bluebell seasons for years…) but the colour is fading fast. Probably my last day out photographing them this year…
