H. A. N. W. E. everyone from Saint Day, Cornwall!

Not sure what these small yellow flowers are and my Mum can't remember!
Anyway, they're cheerful!
Melampodium divaricatum - aka butter daisy - thank you, Isabel for that!
I remember that while taking the shot, it started to rain quite hard (despite the sunshine) and I thought I had wiped my phone screen enough but obviously not completely. Anyway as a record of the moment I'm not at all fussed by it!
HFF everyone!
Evening light and a silvery sea from St Agnes Head

Taken from the same spot as the previous post, different view and separated by time of day and ten years!
Miracle of miracles! 1) I found an hour of 'me' time and drove to the coast here. First time in 2 and a half weeks of being in Cornwall that I actually set eyes on the sea! 2) My phone camera actually allowed this one shot to be uploaded onto my laptop !
HFF! Guernsey lilies from my Mum's garden (I know…

I rather like these lilies but haven't had the time to research them and give a variety name (and my mum can't remember). Do we have a lily expert who could help here?
Guernsey lilies! Thank you to those who came up with the correct answer!
Another evening light shot on the Cornish coast.

Basset Cove, Crane Islands and North Cliffs, Cornwall. (Godrevy Island and lighthouse can just be seen).
Mum's garden again.

Aubutillon Canterbury bells. At least that is what I learnt from someone somewhere! I may be wrong and would be pleased to be corrected.
Abutilon megapotamicum: Thank you for the identification, Adrian Jones.
HANWE everyone

Went for a brief lungful of sea air in the hour I had available before returning to cook supper and It was fortunate that I co-incided with this colourscape!
North Cliffs, Cornwall.
Earth, sea and sky.

From above St Agnes Head. I just felt the combination worked well. (...and works quite well too on large). Above all, I just liked the colour and slight choppiness of the sea here!
Another evening shot at the coast
And another evening coastal shot
Goodnight!
One more evening coastal shot

Near Basset Cove. Southwest Peninsula Coastpath, North Cliffs, Cornwall. Perhaps better enlarged.
St Day old parish church ruins.

HANWE everyone!
Built in inferior stone and on the cheap in the 1820s, this church soon started listing (possibly due to being built on ancient, uncharted tin mine shafts - St Day isn't known locally as 'Sinking City' for nothing!) and by the 1950s was unusable after the roof fell in. No money was available to shore it up and re-roof it so a more modest church was built nearby. Nonetheless it's still a local landmark and the spire is visible for miles around.
St Day Market Square clocktower.

There han't been a market here since the 1860s but it is still the hub of the village.
Fuchsias love this wet, cool and dank weather we'r…

Another corner of my mum's garden. Fuchsias flower all year round here, they love all that moisture!

Because Amy Winehouse was one of the greatest blues voices of all time, on a par with Janis Joplin, Bessie Smith, etc.
HANWE, everyone!

Another evening coastal shot. Quite calm and peaceful despite looming clouds and a few sharp showers. North Cliffs, Cornwall and the South West Peninsula Coast Path. Perhaps marginally improved on large.
Market Square clocktower, Saint Day, Cornwall.

There are a few such alleyways here; some have a mysterious, almost spooky, air about them.
Telegraph Street, Saint Day - after the rain. (Spo…

Time seems to have passed by St Day! This street is fairly typical of the village centre. It's a bit like a blast from the past!
Perhaps better on full screen.
Sight and sound. Just love this early funk song by an underrated genius in Donny Hathaway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkfTLnE5Vtk
