Porth
We usually visit Porth at low tide when you can walk for miles on the beach. Today we walked there at high tide when the sand was covered in slow lazy waves, perfect for surfing.
Cornwall is covered with a froth of yellow flowers, called "Alexanders" (in the foreground here). According to a local website:
In April the hedges and cliffs of West Cornwall come alive with the striking yellow green flowers of Alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum). This plant is a Roman introduction, brought in because the whole plant is edible and can be prepared in many ways. The common name refers to Alexander the Great, from Macedonia. In the 17th Century the seeds were sold by herbalists as Macedonian Parsley seeds, and apparently can be used like black pepper!
