There are times when the river is quite choppy-this was one of those days.

The rocky shore is one of the ocean’s most rugged and variable habitats. Twice a day, as sea levels rise with the tide, seawater rushes in and submerges rocky formations at the ocean’s edge. During low tide, the seawater recedes — revealing pools and crevices packed with sturdy sea life. The narrow fringe of land and sea that lies between the lowest and highest tide points is called the intertidal. Here, animals and plants must tolerate a daily cycle of extremes: wet and dry, cold and hot, covered and exposed. This dramatic range of environmental conditions creates distinct zones in which different species live.

I don't walk down to this part of the beach. I had to take several shots before I caught this.
And I shot some video too.

I was just a little late getting to the beach. And this is one of those rare tines I actually put my camera on the sand to get a steady shot.
And I shot some video too.

Dollar Cove, Gunwalloe, on the Lizard peninsula, Cornwall

Iceplant is a coastal succulent shrub native to the coast of South Africa, where the climate is similar to that of coastal California. Iceplant was introduced to California in the early 1900s as an erosion stabilization tool used on railroad tracks, and later used by Caltrans on roadsides. It has been used as an ornamental for many years, and is still sold in nurseries. Unfortunately, iceplant spreads easily, and has become invasive in coastal California from north of Humboldt County to as far south as Baja California. When it establishes in a location, it forms a large, thick mat that chokes out all other native plants and alters the soil composition of the environment. Because it is a coastal invader, it competes with many endangered, threatened, and rare plants.

Tramore Beach, Horn Head Peninsula, Dunfanaghy, County Donegal, Ireland

The name ‘Tramore’ in Gaelic Trá Mór translates to 'Big Beach' so nothing too mystical 😄 but indeed very accurate! as this sandy cove stretches 2km across the stunning Donegal coast.

What I enjoyed almost as much as strolling along this sandy paradise was the actual walk to reach it. Starting off through a little woodland and following a winding path until greeted with a vast plain of grassy sand dunes (Lurgabrack Dunes) which stretched for miles. These dunes are carpeted in scented wildflowers and brimming with many butterfly, bird & bee species. On the final stretch they show a commanding view over Tory Island on the horizon which is timeless.

On this beautiful evening I patiently watched the sea mist and clouds for several hours, which showed no signs of rising or retreating. Never have I witnessed clouds lay so low over the ocean for so long before. I knew if there was a vibrant sunset then the light may reflect off the low-lying cloud tops, hopefully giving an ethereal look to the surrounding landscape.

I love to let my mind wander free and can just imagine the mythical lost kingdom of Tír na nÓg resting nearby under these calm Atlantic waters 🌊

After sunset

to break the shell, then the shell breaks open and the bird can fly openly. This is the simplest principle of success. You dream, you dare and and you fly.”
