A beautiful mistake!

Headland in center of photo is the cliff walk above Meadfoot Beach.

My good friend Anna at Chickens In The Basement invited me to join the Favorite Photo meme started by Tara at Sticky Fingers in England................and can you believe I messed up!

After seeing ALL Anna's photos leading up to her one FAVORITE, I didn't realize until after I worked hard on this pretty post for y'all..................I was supposed to show you just one! So here you go dear blog friends, you get a Spring walk in England loaded with some favorite photos of my favorite place. Sorry Tara for overstepping the bounds perhaps...................but as we share being Brits I just know you'll be kind to me........won't you?

So read on if you care to......and hopefully you'll enjoy the scenery.

My favorite photo? Well by now you know I don't have just one!!! I have taken so many I probably have hundreds of favorites to choose from. What I'm doing here is picking a day where I caught memorable (to me) images of my favorite place, and took favorite photos of my home town, Torquay in England. You may remember details of this walk from this post I published last year.

Last Spring, on a day in late April, I took a leisurely walk along a cliff path overlooking Tor Bay. Sun was shining, air was comfortably warm, bluebells blooming, seagulls crying, bees buzzing, just perfect.

Climbing up from the beach road, you enter through this stone arch leading to the cliff walk. One is transported into a quiet world..........................

..................above the bay. Beyond is the English Channel and the north coast of France - not visible from here though.

To the west, the coast curves around Tor Bay. You can see the seaside towns of Preston and Paignton and, at the very end, the fishing village of Brixham, my father's birthplace.

Each step along the narrow path brings something interesting to stop and look at..........old painted gates.............

.................hand built stone walls which hide some really beautiful homes. Needless to say this area, which was once a large private estate owned by one family, is prime real estate with views like this!

Reaching the daisy-covered park at the top of the cliff, one is ready for a rest on one of the many benches looking out across the bay.

I hope you enjoyed this little walk and understand why these are some of my favorite photos. Certainly you can understand why I still get homesick after 47 years, can't you?

I'm not tagging anyone for this meme, however you are welcome to do a post showcasing your favorite photo, or if you want to be crazy like me, you can even show more than one...........I could use some partners in crime!!!!
