An exceptionally lucky moment…
I was walking mum along the promenade, back to the care home in Morecambe. When we got close to the steps down to the road. I asked her to stop so I could take her photo against the stormy sea.
As I was framing the shot, I noticed that the curved railings were casting their shadows immediately below us, onto the sand. Having taken mum’s photo, I walked a a few metres backwards to get a good perspective that combined the beach and railings.
I’ve upped the contrast and slightly darkened the sky, but the result was exactly how it looked…

Thank you, Darlene. She is finally freed from ‘local lockdowns’ and able to return to the seafront. We’re both celebrating! ❤️

So glad to hear you are enjoying walks again, Steve and I’m sure it is doing your mum a world of good. Anita isn’t yet strong enough to go far, so our walks are very short!

Thank you, Jaye – and for the reblog. Yes, mum is happily back on the seafront… we can only hope this one ‘sticks’. I don’t think she (or the other poor residents) could cope with another…
