Le Weekend..
I made the huge decision to not touch the internet for the time we were away in Brighton so this gives me the first chance to say a very BIG thank you for all my birthday wishes! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was an amazing birthday..but I did take rather too many photos which has meant a massive editing session. The weather was falling into autumn with storms, strong winds and outrageous clouds..far too much temptation for a mere mortal.
Rain, sun, blue, black all jumbled together.
Within five minutes it would change again.
With reflecting water everywhere.
Was the vintage jeans shop successful?
I’ll tell you next post!
But the weekend was a true atmospheric delight!

I love those changing skys! They look so dramatic. Glad you had a relaxing weekend for your birthday. (^-^) xxxx
It was fun dodging the storms with shops and cafes..we even indulgently went to two films..unheard of! xxx
Two films?! It sounds my kind of day out 😋
Beautiful pics x
Guess what Kate?! I had a birthday too and my hubby took me on a mini break as well! 🙂
What did you use to edit your gorgeous pictures if you do not mind me asking?
PS: will we also see hot photos of you in your new pair of jeans? 😉
xoxo, Eszter

I have Snapseed and Photoshop but only use filters for when I want a vintage look..otherwise it’s playing around with contrast etc. I do find with digital cameras it is easier to break all the rules and take into the sun etc xxx
And I almost forgot – HAPPY BIRTHDAY fellow Scorpio..I hope it was a good one!! xxxxx
Those photos are simply amazing! I appreciate great artistic photographs–especially when they involve sky & sea! And welcome home. XOXO
You may be one year older but, thanks to your spectacular photos (ooh, the Brighton Pier … loved this place so much !), I feel much younger and I also feel a very grateful nostalgia ! xxxx
Thank you luv. We did think about living here too as husbands work was in Victoria..but decided I wanted to keep the magic for visits. Right choice I think xxx
Gorgeous!!! Love the angles in your photos!
Wow- what amazing photos!! I love how you captured the light and water!! Hope you had fun!! xoxo
Beautiful pictures xx
Beautiful photos! I must visit Brighton some day.
I have a “rule”: no computers on mini-breaks. I have my phone to check email, but that is it.
Great photos, thank you for sharing your birthday weekend with us!!
The pictures are AMAZING! Great editing job!
Fab shots, and hope your Birthday was a Good one<3
The photos are so pretty! 😀
YOU have such a beautiful way of expressing yourself through your photography. It looks like a wonderful place, Brighton. It reminds me of Poirot and David Suchet and Gaskell and, well, England. Someday…
Honestly..I think you would love it! xxx
Love the pictures!
Fabulous photos….I need to be there now!! Every time I see the West Pier a bit more has gone. It’s hauntingly beautiful and never fails to bring a tear to my eye. So glad you had a good time xx
I know. It is a shadow on the sea now…such a fun place..I do love my trips there xxx
Great pictures!! ❤

Happy to hear you had a splendid time!
Your photos are amazing! Did you do anything with color to them?
Have a HAPPY week 🙂
There is a ‘drama’ setting on Snapseed that is good and I like to sharpen the contrast if it is possible/works..cropping helps to focus the interest..and then just finding a good/different angle can add a freshness when taking the pics? xxx
Oh, that’s very interesting – thanks for letting me know. I’ll check that out.
Have a very HAPPY evening 🙂
What a tease about the jeans! I love the photos–nothing better than black and blue skies for drama!
Hehe! But who would take the photos??!
So gorgeous!!
Great photographs Kate, I love the weather after the rain. It is all fresh and crisp and and the joy of jumping over puddles still hasn’t left me since childhood. xx
Honeslty, it went from almost black as night..first photo..huge storm 2 mins later..to blue skies..we were meant to be going to the cinema and I knew it was going to be dark when we got out so I ran away for 5 mins just to take some of the incredible clouds.. xxx
WOOOOW! Great photos!!!!! 🙂
What camera did you use?
I have a Canon 400d EOS and an iphone..I try and carry both x
