Flotsam


Sand, dried grasses and rose hips beneath the feet.


 Six steps up towards the Sound.


 Two chairs --with requisite shadows!


And a collection of the stuff that washes up on the beach.


 There is no one there but us which is rather odd but nice........


So it was fun to float around like a little bit of seaweed


 or a feather.....


For other shadowshots from around the world go here

  1. Ah, you are on the North Shore. We are not fat from the Sound in Southern CT. No waves, but this calm body of water is quite relaxing. I love the dunes and vegetation within. To relax at the beach and do nothing or search for shell treasures, this is a great way to spend the day

  9. Lovely New York day at the beach-it looks so lovely and i is funny that there is nobody there. I love all your photos-especially the seaweed! I saw roses with hips like that too in Kent!

  11. What a beautiful blog. Stunning photos and I've just been sidetracked by your Morocco blog too. I can't for the life of me remember how I stumbled upon About New York (an afternoon of blog-hopping does that) but I'm glad I did.
