    Such gorgeous and abstract shots. It's cloudy here so we might not see the solar eclipse or a nice spring equinox sunset...

    So love your details of the watery sands and the waves. So very beautiful. And fascinating textures and tones in your wall hanging.

    I found you through 'Saturday's Critters'.

    Beautiful photos - my favourites were 'Water maps on Sand' & 'a new moon', but I must admit that I cannot resist a Cavalier puppy!

    Please feel welcome to stop by my place sometime!

    You sure have an appreciation for the textures that can be found in life and I like your description of water maps in the sand.

    The tide change on the day of a new moon or solar eclipse, sky with clouds, … , I like the way how you look at the nature and capture it, Ruby. Burnt Hills is spring thing and reminds me of healthy growth of grass after that. Maddy and Ruby are so cute!

    I adore the subtle colours on the sea surface, once again reflected in your 'Burnt Hills' fabric hanging. You got to see the eclipse it seems, it was clear sky here too, and I watched the shadow grow over the light through a pinhole. And the strangeness of the light. What a strange, unsettling time. The fierce planetary alignment is set to gradually become less intense.

    Hi,Ruby. The sea at the Spring Equinox is very beautiful. There was a a total eclipse of the moon in our country. But It was cloudy in Tokyo. I could not see the eclipse. You met a puppy named Ruby? The serendipity would happen in near future for you and your dog. Thanks for sharing.
