Shadow

 


Another photo from Serpentine Beach when we first moved down here in April. This is one of the places on the West Coast where you can find Greenstone, it's pretty much all over the beach.

Linking up with Weekend reflections and the Weekend roundup.

Love that the only sign of life on that wild beach is a shadow :)

A lovely picture, Amy. The beach looks just like mine at home in New Hampshire, USA.

Great photo. I love the way the waves and water have literally sculpted the sand and shoreline.

Nice tall shadow. Living near the Coast must be nice. Ours, the Gulf of Mexico is about an hour drive.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
