Bores occur in relatively few locations worldwide, usually in areas with a large tidal range (typically more than 6 meters (20 ft) between high and low water) and where incoming tides are funneled into a shallow, narrowing river or lake via a broad bay.[2] The funnel-like shape not only increases the tidal range, but it can also decrease the duration of the flood tide, down to a point where the flood appears as a sudden increase in the water level. A tidal bore takes place during the flood tide and never during the ebb tide.
Memories of 2 young boys exploring the tidal flats along the West Bay of Galveston, Texas on a summer day at low tide, heirloom photo to painting by a Texas Artist Karen W. Butcher, www.tolifeagain.com
Ok I exaggerate, but the route to Harpa is 10 minutes quicker via the sea front, the waves were hitting the sea wall and crashing about 3-4 meters into the road, my left side was fairly wet after that short walk
Coot creates trail in tidal flats at East India Dock Basin. This is one of the few remaining undisturbed sections of tidal flats along the River Thames and is a key migratory stop-over for birds. To learn more see:

Asilomar Beach near Monterrey, California. This is one of my most favorite places in the world! It is a living paradise of beach, water, tide pools, birds, cypress trees and sunshine.
These wonderful little birds were patiently waiting for the receding tide to get to a certain level so they could get out on the rocks to search for food!
I watched them for over an hour and after awhile they just ignored me.....They were so comical and yet so serious.....and I must say to me they were fearless! As you can see the water was pretty choppy on that day and they were constantly dodging the waves.
My first attempt at creating color with LOS! My inspiration for colorful jewelry is Ali, from Alibali Jewellry, and Sue Hodgson of Something Xtra Special.
Texture was created by making a mold from a very unusual shell.
Reminds me of Tidal Pools at the beach.
'Time and Tide Wait for No Man"
On the last trip to the home state after moving to the midwest, picked up a carved ivory moon face as a memento, very peaceful looking with great detail. Had used the original to make a mold and created a natural bone-colored replica with nice color variations.
She has her elongated wire pagoda hanger that allows for swinging on a neckwire or chain, and a loop at the bottom attaching a tiny real seashell collected on the Galveston beach years ago. Then it occured to me that she is the emblem of the tidal moon, that pulls the waters of the oceans.
The cupped back feels like the piece is an orb with a face, the rounded metal back giving it a different physical feeling than if the face was flat on a setting or embedded in a handmade brass box.
