The ever changing shingle banks constantly change with the tides. Here the newly formed lagoon at Shingle Street slowly drains away as the tide recedes
Name:Eustoma grandiflorum (Lisianthus)
Flower meaning :Outgoing
Origins
The lisianthus, a member of the Gentianaceae family, is known for its many color varieties--especially its blue tones--and long vase life. Originating in the West Indies, Mexico, and Central and South America, the flower is known botanically as Eustoma grandiflorum. The common name comes from the Greek words lysis, meaning "dissolution," and anthos, meaning "flower," and alludes to the bitter quality of some medicinal species.

Both the sun and the tide going out at the end of the day at Corbiere Point on the South West tip of Jersey in the Channel Islands.
Corbiere Lighthouse lies just offshore and can be reached at low tide by a causeway out to its rocky promontory. This is an extremely treacherous stretch of coastline and the lighthouse was built and first lit in 1874. The lighthouse is 119 feet above the high waterline and was the first lighthouse in the British Isles to be built of concrete.
My main disappointment with this photo is that from this vantage point, you can only see halfway out on the pier to the tall lighthouse, instead of all the way to the end with the short outer pier head lighthouse (the original lighthouse from before the pier was ever extended many years ago). This is near the end of the day. Grand Haven, Michigan, on Lake Michigan.

An evening stroll on the seafront back home in Lancashire.
The textures of the sand and the water heading out into the Irish Sea at Anchorsholme are accentuated by the golden sun setting through some wispy clouds on the western horizon.
The tide was rapidly advancing at this point and I had to continually watch the water behind me on the is little sand bank otherwise I was wading back to shore!
For several years now Muscatatuck NWR has been home to at least one pair of Trumpeter swans. I have seen and photographed them dozens of times, but always from several dozen to hundreds of yards away. Yesterday was the exception as a lone swan fed just a few yards from the auto trail...often within my lenses ability to maintain focus.
A few fun facts:
Trumpeter swans, along with the Tundra swan are the USA’s only native swans.
They are also our biggest water fowl weighing in at over 25 lbs. with a wingspan of over 6 feet.
It takes around 100 yards of runway for one to become airborne.
They were once listed on the endangered species list, and are still on many states protected list.

Bandon Beach is my favorite beach to shoot. Great sea stacks and a table-top flat beach that makes for great reflections and a feeling of movement.
Pre dawn water flow under Steetley Pier.
Outgoing is very apt, as the water and Pier flow through the frame towards the sea and the Pier stands derelict and severed awaiting its demolition.
I liked the foreground detail of the sand and the water flow and thought it suited a square crop with the pier looming in from the left.
The Pier was deliberately cut at this point to stop anglers and members of the public from wandering out on to its rotting timbers.
This was taken about 10 minutes before sunrise.
