The sunlight exposes a fiercer side of dry, wind-blown leaves.

Quiet in the Morning
This is a photograph that I find very meditative, so peaceful.
When I walk the tide line, my mood can dictate the types of still lifes that I notice. Conversely, certain arrangements can be a catalyst for particular moods.
This small clam with the pebble and sand grains in its bowl was just beyond the reach of a receding tide line, and it was gone just a few washes later. In those few moments on the tide line, this arrangement offered me a lovely respite from morning’s jumbled thoughts.
It still does today.
In That Very Moment
The ocean’s bubbles last only a moment after the wave retreats … Remember their beauty.
Icarus
Who knew he had soared over New Jersey?
I’m Hiding
What first attracted me to this trio was the illusion of multiple light sources. This was caused by the shapes of the shells. I didn’t notice the hidden mussel until going through the photographs later.
Sisyphus
The impossible task.
It seems also impossible that the wind could have arranged this … but it did.
Pushing On
Love when the tide’s lines, morning light, shadow, and simple shells come together to create a gentle still life!
Branching Out
Calm Before the Storm
I don’t often take the time to photograph the landscape as I walk the tide line looking for still life, and I rarely post any. Yesterday’s dawn was an exception – spectacular! Given that we are now under a blizzard warning, it seems that the beauty was a prescient prelude to what could be a very grey (and potentially perilous) several days at the Jersey shore.
Oh, and water temperature was 34F … Yes, there were surfers in the water.
