January Small Stone# Nine
Midweek. What to do to make Humpday pass well? On Sunday I walked at Bowling Green Marsh and the weather was dismal, damp and mizzely. There were hundreds, perhaps thousands of resting migratory birds, but I didn’t have my camera and I had my hands full with the dogs. This was the best I could do with my phone camera. 
These out of focus sweeties are widgeon. Today, the sky was brilliant blue, so I checked the tide tables and convinced a hobbit that he needed to drive me. I promised him treats – he’s a bird lover, he prefers birds of prey really but has never been there. I still only had my phone camera, but this was the view.
I ran him down the lane, into the hide and then to the viewing platform. Pretty good for a lunchtime jaunt eh?

Notable is the Cozy Teapot, a heavenly little place with old fashioned bone china cups and delicious scones. Here are a few shots from the beach.

My first is Celestine whose blog, Reading Pleasure has a wealth of poetry and Haiku. She writes prolifically of romance and passion. A real treat.
Next is Marina a very talented artist. Her work is vibrant, I’ve never seen such bright watercolours. Check out her Christmas trees, Dreamscapes, and Marwax, the most beautiful candles.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Resolved
How do you portray ‘resolved’? Lots of people seem to know the answer here at the Daily Post Not so easy for me however. In the end I decided that these guys resolved to share the same space.
