Sand and shadows

Last week Fiona and I were on the beach catching up with Rina a Japanese exchange student, her foster family and Merv who went to Tatebayashi as part of the art-culture exchange earlier this year.

It was getting towards sundown - I was very taken by the shadows created by objects that had been stranded on the sand - lovely riverlets created by the receding water.

And of course there was the setting sun.

Just love it how nature creates such simple beauty.

  3. AA & VA - sorry for my tardy reply to your comments. AA - I think there is a little of the ocean in all of us as it does seem (on most occasions) to calm. VA - I love how the small and fragments of things can offer us such joy. I'm pleased to be able to share a little of our side of the globe. Go well. B
