Familiar beaches, yes, but never the same beaches. A lot depends on so many things. This week we’ve had heavy seas, so things that were exposed last week, are covered with sand, and quite deep pools, goudged out by the sea, are swirling around rocks where no deep pools were before. This week low tide is higher than it was last week, so rocks we could walk around then become impassable without wet legs up to the knee. Today the sun is behind cloud and there’s no need to remove layers of clothing as we walk. The light is perfect, a grey wash, slightly luminous, reflecting rocks (mylonite, chert) and clouds in the encroaching water. The chevrons are splendidly etched, and colours in the rocks vibrate, whereas last visit in blazing sun we saw only darkness, coaxed into some detail by post-processing.

We all love the first pic!

So lovely Meg. I am sure you have explained why the rocks are these colours somewhere before, but could you indulge me and explain again?

Aw, that’s no good! I was relying on you. I have an odd red rock waterfall. Maybe iron? I’ll post it soon.

Another happiness wander 🙂 :). I, too, love the first shot! I read somewhere of Internet problems, Meg? We had a most unusual power cut here yesterday, from midday till 4 in the morning. Initially frustrating, but then you just enjoy the moment and the candlelight. 🙂 Fully illuminated again today.

Connection is frustrating at J’s. my only internet problem is that I use it too much. I’m in detox at the moment: rationed time is one strategy, so I may not be as present as I have been. I’ll still post, because that’s sort of my profession, but I may not be responsive. I’ve yet to figure that one out. I’m glad you enjoyed the blackout. Probably I could use a few! Early morning hugs wrapped in the well-being of a good friend sleeping over.

Variety is almost always good. 🙂 I shall probably come and poke you if you don’t respond often enough. You know I’m not very patient. But feel free to ignore me. 🙂 🙂

A beautiful post, Meg. I agree, the light is perfect to bring out colour and detail. Some great cloudscapes here yesterday but of course I did not have my camera! Still, I thought of you and what you would have made of it.
