The early morning sun and a low tide can combine to create fantastical shadow play. Admittedly, one has to walk the tide line with an imaginative eye.

Happy Halloween!
A repost, but seriously creepy; and today IS Halloween!
Lost Treasure, Lost Dream
Not a natural find, but this was irresistible. There is so much of childhood in this simple lost plastic ring. Children carry their dreams with them everywhere they go, and I think this is especially true of play on the beach. Memories of my own daughters make me think that this ring is a bit of lost dream, perhaps a fissure in imagination.
Perhaps in this photo I can recapture a bit of what was lost for that child, and maybe conjure a small memory of our own.
A Sea Fairy’s Amphora
Again, not a still life, but my husband spotted this as we walked the tide line. May we never grow too old to imagine!
Jupiter at My Feet
A single, translucent pebble can inspire a story, a fable, and a world of imagination.
Kite-Flying Inspiration
Simple sea grass inspires imagination. Let’s go fly a kite!
Tabletop
A sea-smoothed piece of shell or a tabletop? With my penchant for personifying language and exercising imagination with inanimate and unrelated objects . . . I choose the latter.
Brontosaurus
What can be found on the beach defies imagination! This still life is composed of a leaf and a shadow. The resulting combination is something out of a child’s imagination.
Follow Me, Guys!
This is either a silly photo or a sad one. A little child apparently lost a toy to the tide. It returned one November day, trailing other new friends from the sea.
