I was asked by both Instagram followers and blog followers, “What about the real action outside? What about the larger waves?” There were indeed larger waves. I tripped the shutter about 1500 times so there had to be something memorable out there.

Something like this, perhaps.

Mother Ocean speaking, not with subtlety as in my last post, but with bombast. She has both these voices and an Infinity of voices more.

    The pale, diffuse light is interesting, compared to the pounding waves. The obvious thing would be to use a lot of contrast. This is far more interesting.

      Thanks very much. I know her. In 2019, Kathy and I did a one day workshop with her in England and she and I are in regular communication on Instagram. She’s a constant inspiration. And a wonderful person.
