When my mind cuts loose on an early drizzly walk along the beach, what I see arranges itself into groupings, and then the eye picks out things that feed that motif. This morning, as the light broke though clouds, the sea mist rose, and I saw the world through rain specks on my glasses, two motifs emerged: ridges and junctions. I like such free fall walks, because the eye selects what it wouldn't otherwise notice, and fails to notice things it may have seen. Thus it becomes a unique ramble, funneled thusly rather than otherwise.

The top right junctions looks like delicate wings, but the black collage is my favourite. I like the use of motifs Meg, it’s something I’ve used in writing. I see the recent structures in the very first photo, wonderful. Have a good week with your g-babies and I hope your daughter is well 🙂

A great, exhausting week with the g-babies: so energetic and interesting and full of games – and bilingual! My daughter seemed to be on the mend and could relax a bit here.
I may have guessed which ones you’d favour. I’m interested to know how you use motifs in your writing – suddenly I’m not 100% sure I know what they are, having introduced the word myself. Off to google it!

Interesting “free fall” walk way of looking at a familiar landscape. That looks like a stormy sky.

We’ve had so much rain – a really wild storm the other night and mizzling again to day. I hope we get a bit of sun for the Poles, who arrive this evening.

The weather is very variable this year. Hope it does clear up for your family. How long are they with you? You must be getting excited to see your darling grandchildren again.

This is fabulous, Meg. The idea of weather shaping the way we see or don’t see familiar ‘scapes’ – land or otherwise. I love the way you have grouped these sets of images too. And the last four – coded messages from the deep? Beach runes.
