Beach scene in Spring

We had a beautiful day on Sunday, so Lester and I headed for Southend and Shoeburyness for a few hours for a wander along the beaches and promenades.

You should have looked me up, and @heidihp and @paulaw! We all live less than 7 miles from Southend. You have made the seaside look almost mediterranean, love all the tones of blue

[Paula W]

Yes definitely look us up if you come again Alison. I like your comp and the square crop, reminds me of an old photo.

[Claire]

Looks a wonderful day, is that a heat haze I see too? :0)

[Rachel Withey]

I like this, you've caught lots going on

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@jackie8 @paulaw Thank you both.
We tend to do these things very spur of the moment and didn't decide where we were going 'til we were practically out of the door but if we ever *plan* to come up , I'll certainly let you know. It'd be great to meet up!

Oh, I'm so jealous! You have sunshine and time at the beach and we're to receive 20cm of the "S" word.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@timandelke Oh no! Still? Poor you! Is that usual for your part of the world at this time of year?

[elkehochban]

@dulciknit It's usual to have to odd storm in March, but this winter has been heinous - it started two months early, had more snow and colder temperatures than normal. It's getting very difficult to take. I'm so grateful to my 365 friends who are willing to share their spring.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@timandelke Oh heavens! Well, I hope you get some glorious sunshine real soon but without any flooding from the melting snow!

[BeckyS]

Beautiful tones

[Myrna O'Hara]

Cool fence. What does the triangle attached to the fence mean?

[Milanie]

How wonderful to get to wander on the beach! We've had a beautiful day today - but they say it will be 30 degrees colder tomorrow. Did have me hunting spring flowers today though.

[Jo Ann Bellone]

I call this kind of day "A get the cobwebs out day" They are the best.

[Suse♡]

Those tones are gorgeous and I love that boy with the dog

[Taffy]

I like this -- it looks so tranquil and relatively empty.

[Tracy]

Fantastic lines :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely capture. Looking forward for summer.

[Carole Imes]

Lovely beach scene and I like the view of the city in the background. The boy and dog is such a nice added touch to this shot!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@sailingmusic I don't know, Myrna, sorry.

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful beach capture.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@claireuk Well, a haze. It was quite warm, though. We sat outside and ate ice creams.

[carol white]

A lovely scene!! I do like beaches out of season,no crowds!!

[Shelley]

Nice shot.

[Jen Hudson]

Great composition. Fence thing? Taking eye on to boy and dog and then to men. Great beach and blue sky, wish I was there.

"Well if you ever have to go to Shoeburyness, take the A road, the OK road thats the best, go motoring, on the A13" B. Bragg. Great shot.

[Lisa Stein]

Lovely beach scene. Nice to have the "human element" in the shot. I like how there are different areas of interest as the eye moves into the shot.

[Call me Joe]

Wonderful beach capture :)

[Lee]

Brilliant shot.
