I couldn't capture the composition as I wanted them, but they sort of portray the sense of how the beach felt at that time.<br />XXRarelesserspottedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865928245970626612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-82545300936700164422010-06-06T11:54:45.129+01:002010-06-06T11:54:45.129+01:00It was very sad about Cumbria....and leaves a lot ...It was very sad about Cumbria....and leaves a lot of unanswered questions.<br /><br />Lovely photos.magnumladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05976219753247295013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-39435507297858522472010-06-04T19:35:08.456+01:002010-06-04T19:35:08.456+01:00Hi Diane

My quote from the gun lobby man was an attempt to highlight how trivial his arguement was which did no credit to the gun lobby nor to all the farmers who really do need guns in some cases and everyone else who lawfully own a gun and treat them with respect.<br /><br />Thanks for the gannet link, it was so docile, I thought it might be ill, but the fog had probably grounded it. It probably came from the nearby Bempton Cliffs which I guess are about 7 or 8 miles as the crow (or gannet) flies.<br />xxRarelesserspottedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865928245970626612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-25976674844175831242010-06-04T14:04:00.388+01:002010-06-04T14:04:00.388+01:00# a mostly random shooting with some specific targ...# a mostly random shooting with some specific targets as well ...

As usual, it's the minority that get all the coverage, and if we ban guns because they're dangerous and people could get killed, where do we stop? Cars kill people, so do knives. Etc, etc.<br /><br />The man had several guns, it seems, and it was a random shooting with some specific targets. But I don't think they'll ever know why he did it unless they find a letter.<br /><br />It's very sad.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430125606844410229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-69856331485272998702010-06-03T14:56:59.345+01:002010-06-03T14:56:59.345+01:00Hi Diane, thanks for the confirmation on the Ganne...Hi Diane, thanks for the confirmation on the Gannet front. The gun isssue is very emotive and whilst I am not necessarily in favour of banning them, I was dumbfounded when the gun lobby spokesman said on television on the night this atrocity happened that the reason for not banning them is that we wouldn't be able to take part in the shooting events in the Olympics or host them in this country. Hmmmmm 13 lives or the Olympics? Like there's a choice.<br />XXRarelesserspottedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865928245970626612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-37864037449747887762010-06-03T10:26:07.251+01:002010-06-03T10:26:07.251+01:00Looks like it might be a first summer gannet, if s...Looks like it might be a first summer gannet, if so it'll lose the darker feathers for next year when its own mating season will begin.<br /><br />It was very sad news from Cumbria.
