DMurray Images

OPHELIA AT THE COAST -- Ophelia demonstrated her unhappy mood all through the night and into the next day. Can you feel the wide edge of the storm?

DUNE RUBBLE – The sun or the shade but mainly on the surface you'll find certain things of wonder strewn about -- random but for Nature's Plan.

SHELLS ON THE BEACH -- Among Nature's wonders both the shore and its lively occupants give us pleasures for discovery. The shapes of shells, their ridged and glistening surfaces, the arrangement placed by salty waves, the colors warm and cool. Believe your eyes and contemplate our own placement.

INTRACOASTAL LIVING - On the waterway living is easy not a care in the world. Sit back, relax, enjoy the ride.

FEATHERED FRIENDS – Enjoy the carefree play of shorebirds busy with their day. Dancing on the sand, dancing on the water - ready to dart away from visitors who come too close.

ALONG THE SHORE – Don’t we all love water – lakes, rivers, streams, and especially the ocean? These images were mostly unexpected, and they surprised me as they appeared. As I move pixels about, I sometimes have no expectation of the result. Other times, I’m trying for a look or feel. With these images, I was expecting to go to a certain place, but found myself in another far flung locale altogether. My first reaction was disappointment. But, I found myself coming back to them again (and then again) for another look – some odd fascination at work.
