June is Water Month over at Melanie's Nature Led blog, and she wants to see
(Click the link for full 'terms & conditions')
So, with that in mind, I set out with Camera yesterday to see what I could snap. Unfortunately, yesterday lunchtime down on the beach was a bit dismal (but warm), and quite people even though the tide was in! Suffice to say, the few water-related photos I took were rather lacklustre:
I availed myself of a swim while I was down there.
That's my stuff draped on the revetment on the right. And, look - on the far left: People!
Because someone wondered where the cormorants were.
Back at home, I sifted through photos from Junes past in search of suitable snaps (Melanie isn't so strict as to demand photos from this very month, but I like a set of rules to stick to and will make some up just to soothe my OCD and other neurodivergencies):
Early morning beach from 2nd June 2019
The knobbly old spine of some ancient sea monster, again from 2nd June 2019.
(The above two photos were first seen here)
Water in the air (clouds), in the earth (sand), and in the sea (uh, well, the sea...)
(From 14th June 2019, first seen here - along with many, many others)
The spume photo above gave me an idea, so I got up early this morning before it got too hot (i.e. over 18°C) and toddled off down to the beach again. This time with Bitey in tow...
The lady on the beach is not people, she lives in the village and is very nice.
To Cromer...
To Sidestrand...
Splish!
Splash!
Splosh!
(Somewhat out of focus, but I can forgive Camera because it didn't have much time to prepare)
Here's a slightly better one, although it still took Camera somewhat unawares.
I like this one for the little, circular ripple in the middle, but I'm less than thrilled with my foot...
Bitey is all like: "What the Christ is he doing?"
The beach as we left
Totally unrelated, but the loganberry up the allotment has started cropping! Well, it actually had a few ripe fruits last week, but they all got et on the way home...
Not many shags, then? Great pics, though. And bonus logans!
ReplyDeleteNo, the shags seem to be being had elsewhere. This one came about by pure chance!
DeleteA shag and loads of spume - we like summer! Jx
ReplyDeleteYou can't have one and not the other and still call it Summer!
DeleteThis takes me back to your spume hole.
ReplyDeleteWhich is quivering in delight at being remembered!
DeleteI think Mels will be very happy with your spume!
ReplyDeleteHow the hell did you create so much???
Sx
I hope so!
DeleteAnd a lady never tells.
Lately all I've seen is dishwater, shower water, toilet water, and backyard watering water! Massively jealous, sweetpea!
ReplyDeleteOh, how dreary, Savvy. Can't you get all the grandchildren to do the chores while you and your MITM have a day out at the coast?
DeleteGorgeous lonely beach, the best kind! *place obligatory spume play on words here*
ReplyDeleteThat beach won't be lonely for long - the summer holidays are fast approaching, so there'll be people everywhere! And they'll come for the beach, but stay for the spume!
DeleteOh look at what has been awaiting me over here! My apologies for taking so long to stop by! I too like to give myself rules to live by and can be quite OCD about some things which is why certain video games are helpful. I can stay up all night making something "just so" without driving anyone else crazy but myself. Right now, I'm neurotically trying to create the perfect green city in City Skylines Remastered because I don't want to dream. They all end up haunted until the residue fades.
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologise - life throws things at us that put our best plans in awry. It doesn't even care about our OCD sometimes!
