The changing scene

Surprisingly, today's weather forecast was correct, and towards the end of a hot day, the clouds moved in from the south as predicted. Although it looks ominous, we are still not expecting precipitation from this cloud bank, but a bit of shade for the garden is more than welcome.
A walk along the boardwalk near the lighthouse was refreshing and the sea a pale milky green in the absence of blue skies. The contrast at the edge of the cloud bank made for interesting light!

I have over the years taken literally thousands of photos of the sea in front of my house, in its many moods, at high and low tide and on almost every day of the year from sunrise to sunset. Ships ply to and fro, whales breach and wave their tails, fishing boats chug by in the early hours, returning hopefully with laden holds a day or two later. There is never a dull moment living next to the sea and I love sharing it all with you.
