Fiona and I went AWOL - headed to the beach about 45 minutes drive from the mountain. It was an opportunity to take a few days out to: sleep, read, walk, coffee and take in the beauty of the river, sea and sand.
Though we captured much with our eyes and minds, the iPhone was used to take in a few images to share.

ReplyDeletewow, barry, that final altered shot looks just like ecodyed fabric, but then, the original was so beautiful i would have never thought to alter it. great vision!
ReplyDeletebeautiful images B. the wonders you do with your iphone!! love the last photo especially. very powerful. glad you guys had a nice outing ... i probably need to do that some time. looking at the concrete jungle around me is becoming pretty frustrating.
ReplyDeleteR, T/S, V & LT - thanks for your thoughts regarding relaxing and healing. T/S - The ocean is certainly a good healing source. V - amazing what we see through our different eyes - I would never have seen ecodying until you saw that through your eyes. LT - time out is important - concrete jungles make it hard. There is a mountain and valley awaiting you and yours over here. Go well and see inspiring sights. B
