Truly a Leafy Sea Dragon
More shadow-play fun!
Sail On
“The sea is so big, and my ship is so small.”
Those of you who have been here before know that I do not arrange any objects in these photographs. The still lifes are created by the wash of the tide, the wind, and also the light, as is the case in this photograph. Morning light here on the eastern US coast often creates wonderful and surprising shadows like this one.
Sail on.

Children are back in school, the beaches are quiet, Boardwalk rides up and down the coast are closed for the season.
Memories remain, like specters.

Gentleness
With no four-needle pines in this growing zone, this is likely from one of our abundant eastern pines, with one needle lost.
Regardless of variety, the gentle splay of the needles, the monochromatic palette, and the soft early light combine to create a lovely photograph.
I just sighed when I spotted this.
Klee-ish
This still life looks as if it was pulled from a painting by Paul Klee.
