La Mer

My husband reckons this looks like a croissant! I have a tiny, sneaky little feeling he may be right :-)

FISHING NETS

A splash of colour for a change. I loved the bright hues of these fishing nets. Taken a couple of years ago at Dunbar in southern Scotland.

PORTMADOC, WALES

I don't know what these broken wooden posts were but fancy they may at some time have been a jetty into the estuary. Portmadoc is a town in Wales, near which is the famous Italianate village at Portmeirion.

SHELLS

This is part of a collection of shells I've collected over the years. I love the amazing differences in texture and pattern and am constantly looking out for new ones to add. I spend most of my time on the beach looking at the ground and probably miss a whole lot of photo opportunities around me. But it's worth it when you find shells like these.

This is the cut class dish they live in. Actually it's an ash tray that someone gave us for a wedding present back in the days when we smoked! It's perfect for holding the shells as it has its own faceted sparkle to add to the mix.

SEAWEED

Golds and browns on the beach yesterday. I love looking down when I'm walking on the beach. I have collected heart-shaped beach pebbles for years now and I know someone else who collects pebbles with holes through them and strings them onto bleached rope.
