Family Fun

I have been thinking about family today and so I have selected a picture that shows some family fun on the beach.

This is the beach at Reculver on the Kent coast. I was there in July 2009 with my daughter, we had attended a university open day in Canterbury and we were checking out the local area. I spotted this family out playing on the edge of the sea with their dog. It was a really happy scene and I think it makes a nice image. A few years later we were on the beach a little further along the coast in Herne Bay when we went down for my daughter's graduation. Happy memories.

It was a really sunny day and on a day like today as winter creeps upon us a summer scene like this can help to give a warm feeling.

We Are Family...

Yesterday I said I had wanted to share something cute and cuddly and I think I have delivered. Every time I visit Chester Zoo I walk past Lemur island looking for these fantastic creatures but I obviously have never timed it right as they always seem to be hidden away. Until yesterday that is, when for just a few minutes this family group was sat huddled together while a few others were playing around in the trees. 

It wasn't too long however before they scattered and disappeared from view. I'm so glad I got to see them and glad also to share thsi shot with you.
