The last few days
I have been quite unsettled over the last few days. I think it is the feeling of being a bit isolated and shut away. Thank goodness for our walks, although my back has been killing me. Oh dear I cant remember what order I put these up, but there were crabs on the beach the other day, dead but rather interesting looking, a common rock crab and I think a type of spider crab. This morning we went over to Parsons Beach and walked along the cliffs. Not a terribly good path as a lot of odd rocks but I did manage it with my stick and didnt fall over. Lovely clouds and the big sandy beach, more fishermen than surfers this morning. Oh and some leaves I picked to sketch, I have a few sketch book pages done but I will put them up another day. I think the first few were of our normal beach walk at the bay. It has been lovely to get out and about and in the fresh air. I am not sure how we are going to manage 6 months of this but thank goodness for my kindle and lots of not too expensive books and I have been re reading some of my older ones on there. I think I will have lots of free online classes ahead of me too. I just have to get my body working. Yesterday I pulled a heap of plants out of my garden as they were looking very tired. Only trouble is it is not good for my aged back. I couldnt believe how dry the garden was. We had a whole 0.6 mm of rain overnight but it really didnt make much of an impression. Enjoy our walks.

I enjoy your walks very much. Completely different to my neighborhood!! Looking forward to seeing your sketches! Thanks so much for sharing!
Well, like just about everywhere on earth we are under a Shelter In Place order so life is on hold. It would be so much easier to take if only it would stop snowing and warm up. But I admit I have no desire to go out and clean up the yard from winter debris. One day at a time and hopefully we will blink and it will be over, just each day flies by.
Stay well.

P - stunning photo of the light on the water. Unsettling times alright and it has really only begun - good that we are creative types. B
