When we lived in Southern California, close to the coast it was my plan to once take a view of the pillars, but never got to it! Have a lovely December week! Here’s mine

That is a stunner of a photo, Debbie! Great perspective and the colors are perfect – almost sepia but then the palest hint of blue reflection.

Thanks Sue – it was a wonderful morning. I had popped down for sunrise but the tide was still high, so I popped back about an hour later. Meant Inka could run and I could get the photos I wanted 🙂

It’s always good to take advantage of the low tide – the tides are such an incredible natural power and this is our opportunity to pretend we can compete

And I love that word, Margaret – fossick. I had to look it up

Fossicking is a family trait 🙂 Amazed that you had to look it up. First time I went fossicking I was about 12 or so. Mates parents took us to an old gold mining town called Hill End. There were were shown how to fossick among the miners spoil so see if we could find anything leftover (or planted by the guide) Also did a bit of panning as well for alluvial gold. I managed to get a few flakes of gold…..from the souvenir shop 🙂

Not much fossicking in my part of the world!
My dad came from a coal mining family and village so I think anything vaguely resembling that was probably avoided
