I kept my walk short on Boxing Day (only 4 miles). Here are photos from the first half. I took loads of photos of the sunrise over the sea, but surely you’ve seen enough of these
The ebbing tide left plenty of these… they fascinate me
Always worth a backwards glance…
Not so many birds today…
But you can see where the gulls have been…
The weather forecaster par excellence…
Eat your heart out Picasso, the ebbing tide does abstract art too
I thought of adding two small stones for eyes and calling arrangement of seaweed Neptune…
And into the dunes…
A common plant in these dunes. Misnamed. It forms a low-growing shrub
The dune community… ferns and lichens… the little plants
A look back before we leave the dunes…
… and enter a made-environment…
The Waterways with its gardens provide shelter from the sea-breezes but are also a suntrap (as I discovered back in the summer when, taking a coffee break, I burned!)
Steps back up to the prom… and we are done
Hope you’ve enjoyed this little walk.
And a Cheery New Year to you all
These delivered a smile to my Sunday morning. Multiple favorites … thanks.

I’m hoping if nothing else I’ll be able to get to the beach. Perhaps not for the sunrise… too misty, my lunhgs don’t like it. But maybe the golden hour before sunset

And this week I feel like I’m imprisoned… by the weather. Not supposed to do the cold & fog because of my lungs, and now it’s raining like it’s forgotten how to stop. Could be drawing on older photos soon

Well, it’s not like you don’t have a bazillion options…😉

Yea. Well, waiting for the rain to stop and the wind to ease. And now we have ice warnings. But it’s January, It’s winter. And even in this God-Bless region of UK, seasons must turn

Beautiful as always Crispina. The ‘neptune’ pic really looks like a cockerel to me – if you look at the right hand curve as a head!
