Paws for thought… Portrait of a beautiful Sand Cat. In the wild these cats inhabit sandy and stony deserts far from water sources. With its sandy to light grey fur it is well camouflaged in a desert environment. The Sand Cat usually rests in underground dens during the day and hunts at night.
This captive example was seen at Exmoor Zoo.
Whom to save?
Life ring for later...

Sand Martin - Riparia riparia
The sand martin (Riparia riparia) or European sand martin, bank swallow in the Americas, and collared sand martin in the Indian Subcontinent, is a migratory passerine bird in the swallow family. It has a wide range in summer, embracing practically the whole of Europe and the Mediterranean countries, part of northern Asia and also North America. It winters in eastern and southern Africa, South America and the Indian Subcontinent.
The sand martin is sociable in its nesting habits; from a dozen to many hundred pairs will nest close together, according to available space. The nests are at the end of tunnels of from a few inches to three or four feet in length, bored in sand or gravel. The actual nest is a litter of straw and feathers in a chamber at the end of the burrow; it soon becomes a hotbed of parasites. Four or five white eggs are laid about mid-late May, and a second brood is usual in all but the most northernly breeding sites.
Population:
UK breeding:
100,000 nests
"Can you help me?....... the blue waves are coming to take me away......", says the Blue-eyes-Sand.......
"You should not be afraid", answers the wind. "They won't take you away. They will show you the world and its miracles. Our life is a journey. We must lead it to the edge, not let it passing by. So let the waves guide you in their music and I'll hold your hand... "
Vestrahorn, Iceland. I have been meaning to try this one in black and white for a while. What do you think? I think my old camera was pushed to the extreme in the low light. I'd be happy to hear any tips on reducing the noise.
I see an eye and a smile in the centre of this photo. Do you see it too?
I just love sand structures. ;-))
Happy Monday!

The southern tip of Canada’s Point Pelee National Park is the farthest south one can go on mainland Canada. Most of the park is either marsh or Carolinian forest, but this small tip extending out into Lake Erie is sand. This beach is constantly changing because of winds, lake currents and water levels.
I love the structures underneath bridges. This old bridge was no exception, made out of wood unlike most concrete bridge structures these days. It was interesting as it had an old footbridge which crossed the water to a boating dock.
Experimented with a new processing look. I quite like the feel of this, although it was a difficult choice to not choose the BW.
Thanks for visiting!
When sand and water meet some attractive shape could be made........

Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sea, Sand & Sun
Hands in the sand,
Feet in the Sea,
Face in the Sun,
An Empty Mind,
A Free Body.
Sea, Sand & Sun
When everything around is trouble and torment, turbulence and tears.
And nothing can be found for chaos and dissent, fever and fear
Step out and turn around,
Let your mind ascend.
Then close your eyes and feel
Sea, Sand & Sun.
When everything is found to fall to discontent, distress and worries
When nothing else is sound and only bad intent, just persevere.
Leave all in the background.
Let your heart consent
Then close your eyes and feel
Sea, Sand & Sun.
