Cast ashore, 31 August 2022

While I was swimming in the warm water, about 10m away this amazing creature was being washed up onto the beach. We thought it was a dead fish next to a plastic bag at first, but closer inspection showed it to be a beautiful Portuguese Man o’War. A few times a wave caught the creatureContinue reading “Cast ashore, 31 August 2022”

Liminal space on the beach, 26 July 2022

“A liminal space is the time between the ‘what was’ and the ‘next.’ It is a place of transition …” Today I thought I would explore liminal spaces, specifically that moment between a sandy beach and the moment immediately preceding the next wave coming in. I came across a couple of objects that had beenContinue reading “Liminal space on the beach, 26 July 2022”

Ferias 2021: Our daily view of the beach, 30 August 2021

Today was just … different. We headed for the beach just before noon on a lovely sunny day. There was no traffic at all on the walk to the beach, and ahead us was a clear blue sky. However, as we drew near the beach it became clear that there was a haze over theContinue reading “Ferias 2021: Our daily view of the beach, 30 August 2021”

Fun with waves, 26 August 2021

It was tough to have a little fun with the waves today as the sea was just so … flat. However,  in the wave cycle there were a good couple of ‘splashy’ waves that you could have fun with. There’s a dark side, though: these waves that are so nice are actually part of aContinue reading “Fun with waves, 26 August 2021”
