New camera at the beach

Took my new camera (Limux FZ 18)down the beach today to exercise my skills with the zoom and settings, nice day for it warm still and overcast.
I don't normally go photo hunting I find it frustrating, so generally stick to snapping at things I stumble on but the new toy prompted something different.
I was out for five and a half hours and only walked the same number of miles, just as well Anne went shopping she gets a bit fed up walking at 1 MPH (sometimes less). I was pleased with the outcome nothing that will stand out in a crowd (of photos) but I'm happy.
