Good morning Stella, Thanks for taking us along on your beach walk! Love the picture with the tall sticks standing together in the sand. And thanks for the link to your post on wabi sabi. I'm just starting to lean into that idea as a cure for my perfectionism. Are you familiar with Beth Kempton's book called Wabi Sabi: Japanese Wisdom for a perfectly imperfect life?

Thank you, Mary! I am not familiar with Beth Kempton’s book so I will have to look it up. I appreciate the recommendation. I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of imperfection and as I grow older, exploring it more deeply. Glad you enjoyed the beach walk!

I'm reading Sebald at the moment, and something about the way you writing about walking and what you observed made me think of his work. Lovely.

Beautiful photos - I was really struck by all the lines that were happening, cloud lines, water lines, tree lines, stick lines…All of life in lines - are they pointing? Leading? Just unraveling? 🤣

I really like the way the seagulls are so dramatic in black and white - I think in color, they would actually have gotten a bit lost to familiarity.

Beautiful work, Stella, always so thought-provoking - thanks for bringing us along on your walk!

Thank you, Sydney! So many lines indeed. When I started editing the images, it certainly popped out as the theme for these beach walks. You certainly have it in you to notice that subtlety. Thank you for pointing it out
