The Golden Hour

 "The golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky"

Last night I took my bee down to Bradgate to take some photos during the Golden Hour. We had fun. He played on the rocks, I played with my new camera.

It's fair to say that I wasn't feeling particuarly in sync with my camera last night and I wasn't very inspired by my surroundings, but I still managed to get a few nice photographs I think!

A Wildflower Walk

 

 

A quiet Saturday afternoon spent at Felicity Wood its surrounding areas. Mr Bee and I packed up a bag with a blanket and some things to do and went exploring. We waded through the stream to get across to the meadow, coloured in fishes and practiced writing, stumbled across a ginormous patch of Forget Me Nots, millions of bluebells and lots of dandelions and clocks. We found a natural spring and climbed rocks and big hills.
Even though the sky above us was a dull shade of grey, we had one of the best days out in a very long time.

Glendurgan Gardens

Yesterday we visited Glendurgan Gardens. We were all fascinated at how beautiful the grounds were, full of wild flowers and lots and lots of different trees.

 The acres upon acres of garden were spectacularly beautiful. After walking for quite a while, we spotted a little bay and village on the river and had to investigate.

 There was a quaint little beach which is a landing bay for lots and lots of boats. We decided to play and have a picnic.

 After a long while sitting in the mediocre weather, we headed for the rocks and went for a bit of a climb. Mr Bee was so brave climbing them by himself, barefoot! There were so many shapes and colours and lots and lots of little rock pools, no crabs though!

 Then we found a tiny tiny little 'beach' where we skimmed stones and watched the boats. It was so peaceful.

Then we ventured back through the maze of paths, passing the cherry laurel maze again (after we got lost in there earlier in the day!)

Such a beautiful day out, if you are ever in Cornwall, it is definitely worth a visit!
