seaweedy stuff

yikes! I tried to take December off. Well, off urgent work at least and on to all the other work that needs to get done but doesn't have a deadline so just gets shoved out the way, but guess what?! Yup, still been busy doing all the things that are urgent, but fortunately the calendar finally reached that "urgent" status, although I must admit I wasn't expecting quite so much admin! Next year I'll be more organised and won't leave it to the last minute! (hahahaha... ahem... sorry, I digress...)

I managed to find a few moments at sunrise to wander down to the beach and play with my new toy. Oh, how I love macro photography - the actual act of taking the photos. Or to be more precise, the act of looking through the lens, swaying slightly to see the composition change as the focus shifts, the depth of field being so narrow at a few mm from the subject. I think there were more than a few startled dog walkers and joggers going past seeing me with my nose practically in the sand!

Anyway, there were all these bubbles within bubbles, and bubbles on seaweed, and seaweed well, you get the idea!...



some seaweedy stuff on the beach sand, which admittedly I found the most interesting to look at - so much detail on the teeny bits of seashells, and the translucent stones... mmmmm!

to give you an idea of scale, I photographed my fingertip (sorry it's blurred, difficult to still the shakes with one hand!)
