It is such a different world from mine, a bit wild and untamed and remote... quietly beautiful with natures treasures at your feet, just waiting to be discovered. I like it. The grinder in your post beneath is the one my mother used on a daily basis when I was a child. I must find out if she still has it, I would prefer it to a food processor.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-69004761978413967232014-04-19T09:10:40.754-03:002014-04-19T09:10:40.754-03:00Thanks for visiting Jerry.

...Thanks Guillaume, it was a really beautiful day.<br /><br />Hi Shelley, the reality of "the tides wait for no man" gets truer every year. nature has its schedules and we can't stop it. You must find it very different not planning on going down to your cottage by the shore. Hope you are taking care, xo<br /><br />Hi Faye, Really, never found a sea urchin? I feel very lucky then. We come across them occasionally but most times they are broken.. today was a good day. I'm sure your cottage misses you as much as you miss the coast. xoGwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-26967149178753120192014-04-13T21:23:11.187-03:002014-04-13T21:23:11.187-03:00Hi dear Gwen.

Coincidentally we recently sold a little cottage/studio to a Geologist and his wife here. I lived inland most of my life but after living here for 15 years, I feel much more in contact with nature's elements. It feels like everyday is an experience.<br />And I'm so glad to meet someone who admires and has studied Schiele. I always wonder what he would have shown the world if he had lived a long life.<br /><br />Arija, I love the sea urchin shells the best of all.. the patterns and repetition of shapes, the dots, the zig-zags...it gets more interesting the more you zoom in on it.<br /><br />Thanks Maya, You never know what may be hiding underneath the seaweed. You are right about it being more like a treasure hunt.<br /><br />Priya, it always depends which fishing season it is as to which shells are more prevalent on the beach. but today there was lots of driftwood.<br /><br />Steven, that ought to keep you firmly rooted in one spot for a while. haha.<br /> I have to admit it is more of a rocky beach than a sandy one and it always changes with each tide and every storm. I love that.<br />Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-72929016829317787232014-04-13T09:19:24.912-03:002014-04-13T09:19:24.912-03:00I'd have fifty pounds of rocks in my pockets! ...I'd have fifty pounds of rocks in my pockets!
