Changing moods of the north sky-sea, droplets and other matters

There was no time for making art today - there were mundane tasks to be done. But we still manage a walk to the cove. The mood of the sea from the cove headland always captivates me. Yesterday it rained virtually all day so the sky-sea were grey on grey.

This morning started out pretty much the same; but around midday the sun was out and  the sky-sea was blue on blue.

Though the rain can be challenging I prevailed upon Fiona yesterday to stop in the rain whilst I photographed a few raindrops on wool and horse hair caught on a fence along the way.

One of the mundane tasks today was to dig another trench to get water away from the sump of our sewerage system.



We did also get sidetracked moving a large flagstone; and rehabilitating Pratias that had become overgrown by clover. That was a creative thing to do in a bit of afternoon sun.

  1. The rain drops on wool are lovely. Digging drains around hmm, the septic on the farm. Glad I don't do that any more!

  2. horsehair and wool on wire ... makes me wonder, did the wind blow them there or were the critters indulging in a bit of itch-scratching ...
