I'm in the garden - Archives

These photos of Crescent Beach were taken almost a year ago. It must have been a rare non rainy day. I do remember thinking that I had foolishly forgotten to take my gloves. Paid a dear price for that, cold, stiff fingers, that could barely work the buttons on the camera. And a wind that found its way up my back when I attempted shoot at different angles, no matter how I tucked my shirt in. Even the dog walkers on the path looked cold. The first shot, of the bench was at one time in the card line, titled "Missing you". I love the simplicity of the empty benches during the winter months. The quietness of the waves as they roll over the seaweed. If you look closely to the bottom right of the seashell, you will see a rock that to me resembles a white glossy pearl. Even on a cold, windy, damp day, there are treasures at the beach.
Enjoy your Sunday!

  5. I used to walk Crescent Beach every Sunday with a friend. We would then go out for lunch and then back to her house for a glass of sherry to warm up.
    I prefer to be on these beautiful beaches in cold, windy, rainy weather, bundled up...with gloves.

  8. I always enjoy your photos. There is nothing like a good walk on the beach any time of year... I too like the repetitive motion and sound of the waves. The waves can be mesmerizing - a nice way to clear my brain after a long week at work.

  9. Hi Jen~~ You've definitely got a penchant for fabulous photos! The irony is that simple, minimalist photos say the most, don't they?
