Sunsets and birthdays

Last night I spotted the beginnings of a lovely sunset - and we all know how much I love them. So, I grabbed my faithful camera, jumped in the car and drove down to the beach.  And the following pictures are what I saw.

 

 

 Beautiful or what!

While watching I saw two people with the same idea as me - only doing a more professional job of it.

 I have had a great day.  Today is my birthday - I have reached the big  50, half a century, call it what you will.  It's only a number. Lol. Dan got me a set of bellows for my camera so that  I can taken close up shots. A macro lens is just out of our price range I'm afraid. We went for a run in the car along the coast and came to a wee fishing village about half an hour from where we live.  I took lots of pictures - which I will sort tomorrow. It was fun.

This afternoon I went for cocktails with my sister-in-law and nieces. Now, I'm not a big drinker and I have never had a cocktail.  So this was a new experience for me.  And, I have to say I really enjoyed it!!  I didn't get drunk and was home by dinner time. Finally, tonight Dan and I went for our for dinner.  We are just in and I am relaxing, having a coffee and doing this blog.

 As I said I have had a great day!!!!!  Hope you all had a good day too.
