Intermission 21j

….to see the world in a grain of sand….

William Blake penned these immortal words and they neatly sum up this intermission. My summer has been without sight of a beach but I have dredged up some old photos.

A few years ago I started taking pictures of the beach sand, as the tide receded. Quite simply I find them therapeutic. The patterns made by the outflowing seawater are as fascinating as the grain colourations themselves. Needless to say I usually get shouted at for dawdling when walking the beach.
