I have had a fab day today
It has been glorious weather - cold but really sunny and the cold wasn't the biting sort of cold - just crisp and fresh.
We headed off to the beach for a lovely walk. We were all bundled up and it was such a lovely day we snapped some pictures.
This was me where our old beach hut stood. (It is now vesuvio's restuarant where we are off to soon)
No I wasn't in fancy dress. My stetson is just a very practical winter hat. It shields the sun, stops the rain on my glasses and keeps me warm. Plus I just love it LOL.
We were struck, as we always are, by how like Santa Monica Bournemouth is with its cliffs and beach and pier. So we took a few pics to mimic those from Santa Monica ready for inevitable scrapbook pages. I have to say it was just a tad warmer when we were at Santa Monica beach last summer!
It was just fun to compare the different shots.
So we are on to prompt 50 - just two more to go.
This happens to be one of my favourite pages I have made for this album - just a lot of fun.
What fun to have those photos to compare - great shots and can certainly seem the similarities.
Thank you for another great prompt - off to make a coffee so I can sit and read through it at my leisure.
Toni :o)

Only two to go! Are you planning another class for 2011? :-) Just kidding. After all the work you've put in for this one I hope you'll rest a bit during next year.

I'm so hoping to be able to finish this before the end of the year. Might be a project for between Christmas and New Year now.
Love your photos. You both look fab xx

This prompt has my mind racing--what superlatives could help sum up this year? Scariest, longest, best, etc. Thanks for the mental challenge!

Wow, you're nearly at the end of your 52in10! Amazing... well done for keeping it going all year. It has been fab!
Love the Santa Monica/ Brighton comparison photos. I like Brighton, but can't say if I prefer it to Santa Monica, as I haven't been lucky enough to visit there yet... Still, it looked like a lovely day today. It was damp and very chilly here today - the sort of gets-through-all-your-layers cold... yuk!
