Flowers that were fully open yeasterday are closed up tight. The bright yellow stick of a crane on the Riviera bulding site stretches way up into the firmament as if in compensation.

The first pale primrose is hiding under the deeper foliage whilst sitting on the back of a bench, a young lad in a bright yellow hoodie lights up a rather dull, rainy scene.

The sea is blue all the way to the crisp horizon.

Last year’s cones from the scots pine lie scattered on the grass near the little grove of daffodils.

The large glossy green black spotted leaves of Lords and Ladies luxuriate in the fresh, damp air.

The sea is steep and jagged, propelled on by a stiff southerly breeze.

The Inshore Lifeboat makes a search pattern along the water’s edge.

The big, bulgy black and grey clouds bumble around the rest of the firmament occasionally allowing a sight of a few rags and tatters of sailors’ trousers

Today’s tribute is a little bunch of red edged roses.

the benches are empty until a black and white sheep dog decides to take posession of one.

Green grey mantled with white caps like a vast mountain range on some exotic, distant planet.

there is a big, long swell running and as it reaches the shore it rears up like a frightened stallion and stamps down hard on the flat sand with a cascade of white foam covering the beach.

A steady drizzle and a roaring sea. The blustery wind has backed to the South West and it is slightly warmer.

The only colour is the lavish golden yellow of the gorse.

The crow with the wonky wing snarls and barks at a robin who has wandered over to see what is good to eat.

Some broccoli, half a cabbage and three lettuce leaves. Make of that what you will.

another grey, cold day with a breeze as cold as the Devil’s breath underlined by the sea slapping onto the sand with some vehemence.

A rustling grey sea under a grey sky. A haze on the horizon. Everything indefinite, nothing swims into focus

The waves shimmer and shake as they crash onto the shore.

Despite the occasional sun most of of deciduous trees are showing no sign of leafage.
