The light was beautiful this afternoon as I stepped out of the house to seek inspiration by the sea. Some bird watchers had beaten me to it - no doubt in search of the Lesser-Spotted Crotch-Tailed Herring-Gull. Or something.
I decided to take these shots in my “Car's eye view” series, so I just pulled my car into the car park at church point and shot from out of the sun roof. I'm pleased with the results, and wonder if these may even be good enough to go into the community theme in the arts forum. It seems that bird-watching, much to my surprise, is part of the scene here in this endlessly intriguing town.
As for me, I am facing decisions that may cause me to change things about me that I have kept locked away inside for years. That's enough to make anyone look wistfully at the sea, or maybe have a sleepless night or two.
How much have you really changed recently? Do you find change scary? I know I do. So much so that I usually prefer it to be forced upon me, rather than to welcome it. I tend to think that many of us pay lip service to positive change, always intending to do the right thing, but rarely actually achieving much.
On the other hand, I change in other ways without even trying. So, are we what we are, should we just be blown along by the changes of life - or can we actually choose to change and can that change be permanent?
Some tiny questions for you and me to consider today. Have a nice one.
Such beautiful light. NBTS seems to attract such wonders.
Truly spectacular Andy! Thank you.

Wow, pictures are fantastic, thank you for sharing.
Change can be good and bad, but not dealing with it or trying to keep things the same, usually brings unhappiness.

I absolutely love the last picture - I can't believe I actually lived in NBTS and NEVER saw it like that!!!!!!!!!
I sometimes HATE things changing and yet some of the best things that have happened to me were the result of BIG changes in my life. Mind you some awful things have also happened and it's the 'not knowing' that I dislike. Cool pictures Andy.

Andy. Yes - the pictures are good enough for the Arts Forum Community Calendar. Believe me.
