Last rays of the day illuminate far peaks and tidal ice on the mud flats in upper Cook Inlet while awaiting a new tide. Thanks for looking and may your day be sunny!
Wanted to catch the rivulet of water working its way back into the sea, which I saw while walking the beach at Seaside, Oregon. The bonus was finding this great texture in the sand as well.

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.

The harbour for Lyme Regis is called the Cobb. No satisfactory explanation of the name exists but a man-made construction has served as a refuge here since at least 1313. The earliest known drawing, made in 1539, shows a basic shape similar to the present construction, and this was built after the westerly gales breached the breakwater in 1824. There have been additions since that date but the major part of the Cobb dates from then. It was connected to the mainland in 1756 and the North Wall was built in 1823. Perhaps most famous as the iconc setting for Meryl Streep in the French Lieutenat's Woman, its a Dorset "classic" for the photographer

Such a brilliant feeling being able to get out again.
And yes it might only be to my local beach, in the freezing cold, wind howling and that incoming sea, casting it's spray, but the feeling was wonderful.
Hope you all like my return pic :)

Listen: tidal wave - Gloomy Tunes (Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes Cover)
Image taken at Whipsiderry Beach near Newquay. The rock between the two headlands caught my eye as the waves ebbed and flowed up the beach.....have a great evening all.
Another image from my Portwrinkle Beach shoot, this photo is looking the opposite way down the beach. I love this style of photography, as it offers so much potential..... just a case of studying the wave patterns, and keep shooting in the hope that you have captured the best wave. I always experiment with shutter speeds, and found that one second gave me the desired effect. Always look forward to your feedback.....have a great day.

Great fun photographing the waves on an incoming tide at Portwrinkle beach in south east Cornwall.... this is a much quieter part of Cornwall, and well worth visiting if you are in the area. Have a great weekend all.
The giant green anemone is a species of intertidal sea anemone of the family Actiniidae.
Generally, it is found along the low to mid intertidal zones of the Pacific Ocean, from Alaska to southern California and sometimes downwards to Panama, where cold water swells can occur. It prefers to inhabit sandy or rocky shorelines, where water remains for most of the day. They can generally be found in tide pools up to 15 m deep. Occasionally it can also be found in deep channels of more exposed rocky shores and concrete pilings in bays and harbors.
These anemones tend to live a solitary life, but can be occasionally seen as groups with no more than 14 individuals per square meter. They can move slowly using their basal disks, but usually stay sessile.
The anemone feeds on sea urchins, small fish, and crabs, but detached mussels seem to be the main food source. There are rare instances where the giant green anemone has consumed seabirds. It is not known whether the birds were alive or dead when engulfed by the anemone. (Wikipedia)
One evening we went to the tidal pools along the coast to look for fish, anemones and sea stars. It was adventure scrambling over the huge rocks, but we were rewarded with this anemone just under the surface of the water. No evidence of it having eaten a bird recently was found :-)

This week´s business trip took me to the North of The Netherlands into the Province Noord-Holland. Despite many contacts and trips into the country this part of the Dutch North Sea coastline was quite unknown to me. It was a pleasure to experience the area around Den Helder and - by coincidence - I had my camera with me...
This stream links a lake to the ocean. This stream is not always open to the ocean but has been open for quite a while due to heavy rains this year. This photo taken from the north side and I had a long walk to get to this point. It was low tide and the ocean was actually flowing back into the lake.

We all get to choose who enters our life, but not when they exit. Some people are as unpredictable as the winds and some are tried and as true as the nightly tides. The waves of life bring many surprises to the shore. It's up to you which to pick up.
I'm collecting my thoughts today as another hurricane forms in the Atlantic. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims of Harvey.
Happy Labor Day weekend to all my American friends!
Happy Sunday to you all!

Sunset and reflection captured from Barassie Beach in Ayrshire, Scotland.
The shifting sandbanks often create these slowly emptying pools as the tide goes out on the beach at Barassie. I captured this handheld at arms length with some much practiced blind aiming.
The sun setting over the Isle of Arran is one of the most beautiful benefits of living in this part of the world.
Enjoy!
