Red umbrella

It was the vernal equinox yesterday, and for the second time this year I'm out without a coat. I'm only carrying one lens for the morning's walk along the seafront, and I'm on the lookout for details in the landscape.

What a waste

 

Okay, it's just a couple of waste bins on the seafront, but it's the kind of image you occasionally see that gains critical acclaim for famous photographers (William Eggleston, I'm looking at you). Art or not, I took the shot anyway... because it was there.

It's in the air

 

Spring isn't spring for me until the day I've photographed the daffodils on the cliffs at Branksome Dene Chine, Poole Bay, Dorset.

Today is that day.

Maybe possibly

This is the last knockings of the season as far as seascape photography is concerned. Well, at dawn and dusk, as the sun now rises and sets inland. However, I'm always open for some drama in the skies, or the occasional low tide.
