Big waves bring driftwood trees, the wind covers them with sand. Some branches and root balls reach for the sky, casting a filigree of shadows. Hovering on salty air, gulls survey a new landscape.

The weather has been wild here during Storm Erik and we hope everyone in his path is safe and well.
Wishing you all a very happy Monday and a wonderful new week,
with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

Look at that sky! It’s beautiful, but it is eerily beautiful–like something is going on. Then I read about the storm…ah, that explains it.
