february beach



Doesn't that look like a gorgeous necklace? I can picture it on a mermaid perched on a rock at the edge of the sea. 

 T and I went to the beach this grey afternoon for a much needed dose of fresh air between storms. A fleeting stomach bug found P yesterday (he's already on the mend), so just T and I bundled up and left the house. The variety of size, colour and texture in seaweeds struck me today. Maybe because it's February and so much of the rest of the beach is shades of grey. Whatever the reason, all of the browns, reds, yellows, and greens jumped out at me today. 










T was being an explorer, leading me on an expedition, and chattering the entire time. It was a lovely way to spend some time this winter afternoon, especially since the rain took away all of our snow. (We're supposed to have more tonight and tomorrow, though!)

  3. The "necklace" shot reminded me of certain depictions of Freyja (goddess, not daughter) and her necklace:
