No Fishing?

No Fishing?  Surely not, perhaps because this pool is on a golf course but
Little Egret
nearby is the Marshside Nature Reserve where it is a free for all
Dunlin 
and all that is required is a long beak

No nets needed

or other fishing accoutrements necessary. And definitely, no matter how pretty it looks,  no more snow until next winter please.

Boats and Barriers on the Bay

A boat on Morecambe Bay. What a convenient place to park ones boat just on the promenade no chance of it breaking away. I wonder if those cross-hatchings mean no stopping - unless you are a boat.
Morecambe
In the middle this weeks snow how nice to think back to a summer when just chilling out on a beach is possible without being chilly. Last week's tides were high so those large chunks of stone that form a barrier will take the sting out of the waves.
A more substantial barrier by the coast road on the opposite side of the bay to the previous photos and on my side of the bay.  Possibly one could  peek  through the holes from the other side while keeping dry in high tides with the wind behind them.. Although this year it has been remarkably still, possibly because of the billows of clouds coming across the Atlantic. But even a sunny winter day like this it was calm.
So  peaceful, and a bundle of seaweed waiting to be taken out to sea again.
Meanwhile on a tidal creek for these boys there is some exploring to be done and with a  bit of  imagination some great adventures to begin,  while never setting sail.
