Your featured image is so graceful. I like the unusual angle, too. Usually the kelp I see is sad and bedraggled on the beach … you’ve shown how beautiful it can be.
Thanks Sally. Like you, most of the kelp I run across is limp drift masses. I’ve just spent a few minutes enjoying your recent posts. I really liked the words and photos in Bumblebee Bevy.
Thanks, MT! Your kind words are most welcome 🙂
Very surreal.
Now that you mention it, it is kind of surreal. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
It has very unexpected color and texture.
Thanks Chris!
A great choice for the ‘curve challenge’ 🙂
I never knew kelp could be so nice to look at since most of the time i spent at the beach it has been there a while…………………very nice to read and again beautiful work and photo’s.
I hear ya Terri, washed up on the beach it can get pretty sad looking.
