Snaps
A garden safari and a trip down the beach. The weather is getting properly autumnal and I am sad about that, though fruit in the garden is nice.

I like how just a bit of contrast adjustment really brings out the blue in the rocks. It's visible to the eye but the camera makes things a bit greyer.
Fruit ripening in the garden. I didn't think I had many grapes this year until I looked under a few leaves. Lots!
No doubts about the number of pears though. I'm going to make a serious attempt to ripen them this year. If they don't then I'll adapt an apple cake recipe I have.

We went down the beach and it was windy. The birds seem to enjoy it when it's windy, they hover in places then do some really big swoops and loops.
