I sometimes dream about ships from past times sailing in from the North Sea, some carrying cargo
and passengers  -  others intent on war and conquest .....

On a sandbank out in the estuary, swans and gulls wait for food on the incoming tide .....

Brightly coloured bramble and rose foliage and a few wild flowers along the coastal path ..... 

Clover .....

Pink Clouds

At dusk, a beautiful pink cloud drifts over the sea

Gulls circle looking for food

Shells and organic debris piled up after high tides

In my studio, I've been drying shells on old newspapers, and see the image of blue water and palm trees beneath.
It's an advertisement for Caribbean holidays.......cold north meets warm south!

Happy Weekend!
