Windswept grass and fence

A child playing in the sand
Filed in Beach, Candid, Canon 20D, Canon 75-300, Cork, Garrettstown, Ireland, People, PhotosA child playing in the sand This little girl was playing in the sand on the beach as we walked past. Plenty of toys about, but I don’t think she had built a sand castle yet. It’s lovely to see children playing in the sand. It’s an age of innocence and (sometimes) simple joy that [...]

This is G-BKSP waiting on the beach to fly. Unlike the glider I posted earlier I saw this plane fly. Unfortunately conditions weren’t suitable for flying the gliders before we had to head home to Cork.
