a bird's nest

I was hoping to post a new year photo with beautiful sunshine because it's summer in Australia and the weather initially had gotten off to a great start for 2025... most mornings we have been walking and swimming early at the beach. But the last few days it's been quite cool, windy and rainy. We woke up this morning to this bird's nest that was blown out of a tree. I'm pretty sure it belonged to a magpie family that moved on months ago but I'm always struck by the beauty and intricacy of a woven bird's nest. 

 

Happy New Year!

 January in London is looking like this, beautiful frost and snow predicted for tomorrow night

A lighthouse

This lighthouse is located on the highest part of Robben Island, South Africa. It was completed in 1865, and before then fires were made on the hill to warn sailors of the island's location. 

 "My lighthouse, my lighthouse

Shining in the darkness, I will follow you

......I will trust the promise

You will carry me safe to shore.."

Where the land meets the sea

 This is cuckmere haven in East Sussex. I love this lighthouse and cliff walk and if you swam out to sea you would reach France.
