A much longer over due day of sunlight and blue skies here today. It’s amazing just how much brighter my mood is on a sunny day.
Al finished work a little earlier than usual today so we headed down the the sea wall at Lymington, setting off from Bath Road carpark to catch the last of the afternoons warm glow (well warm-ish).
As the sun was out I took a punt and loaded up the Canon EOS 3 with a roll of new-to-me film, RETO Amber D100.
It’s always exciting to try a new film, especially when there’s a lot of blue sky as it’s usually the blue tones where different film cameras really stand out.
I love the dreamy lemon and turquoise hues of the packaging, it made the whole afternoon feel that bit more sunny.
The twitchers were out in force and we moseyed up alongside them to watch the spoonbills, avocets, lapwings, egrets and dunlins enjoying their own afternoon delights. This was the nicest hour I’ve spent out pottering about this year and I cannot wait for the sea pinks and other wild coastal flowers to start to make an appearance.
