No Dogs

Collecting Shells

Bridlington

Bridlington

driving through snow
sunny beaches
await

Low Tide

overcast
but the tide is far distant
clambering over stones

Welcombe Mouth

sea foam
leaves a line in the sand
hills fade to mist

Paws

not my dogs
but they encourage
thoughts of home

Waterfall

on the path
above the waterfall -
perilous edge

Funfair, Mablethorpe

Children's ride
looks safe enough -
alas: too tall.

The Blue Handbag

On the beach
I ignore the noise
and read

Lost Children

lost boys
only in Summer.
Peter cries

Beach

Sun behind clouds;
still a golden hue.

Last few of Whitby

Night
Harbour and beach
The sea takes its own

Scarborough - Beach

Welcombe Mirror

Made with a bought mirror and beach combings from Welcombe Mouth and Ilfracombe.

Beech nut shells, rope and a dried starfish arm

Driftwood, feather, cockle shells (and a damp-haired me)

Driftwood, feather, tiny flat stones (please ignore the cleavage)

No photos today

A bit of a cheat today. I took no interesting photos on my walk so here's the last few from our trip to Newcastle last week.

Here's a haiga.

Originally it was a haiku on a napkin outside Starbucks but having photographed it it has become a haiga.

Interesting, no?



Tea in coffee shops
How refreshingly English
With Geordie accents.

On Tynemouth long sands there is an abandoned outdoor swimming pool now full of rocks and sand and rubbish.

I remember this being in operation in the sixties but I've no idea why it fell into disrepair,

Another shot of the abandoned swimming pool.

This of the lichen on the edge,

A shot of the Tyne bridge as we leave, taken from the car (I wasn't driving).

What majesty of steel.
