Horse Isles Bay, Southwest Scotland October 2010
I thought the brown, gold, and bronze colours of this crab shell were lovely.

Flint


I ask you :
how can you maintain
there is no life
or feeling
in a stone ?

I have this flint
in my hand : look
in two bits it might
be a heart
that broke.

Happy Accident

Jan Cormack
Double Bluff Beach, Whidbey Island, 2008

I was taking a shot of some nicely gnarly driftwood when a dog galloped into the frame.

Oysters Anyone?

DM Rhodes
Whitstable Beach, Kent, November 2009

Whitstable is famous for its oysters. I loved all the bright colours in the foreground, leading to the bleak grey sea background.

Groyne

Jan Cormack
Hastings Beach, East Sussex, 22 April 2008

This is one of the concrete groynes (yes, they're really called that) which hold in check the eastward shingle drift. We're looking directly south to France. "Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance? The farther away from England, the nearer it is to France." (Alice in Wonderland).

The Beach Comb

DM Rhodes
Carsethorn Beach, Southwest Scotland, October 2010


I found it partially hidden. I thought at first it was a bit of amber sea glass. It wasn't, but the consolation was what a clever visual joke it makes.
