Until July 2017, documenting the seasons of coastal Dorset. I'm a complete amateur so don't trust I'm always right. If ever you see I'm wrong - whether with identifications or in anything else - do say! Meanwhile . . . I've now moved to Halifax in West Yorkshire. Click on the link below to collect the new URL.

THE VIEW SLIPS AWAY

Things are about to change. There have been storms at sea - and seaweed in piles on the beach. There have been landslips along the coast - on the South West Coast Path there have been thirty where in a normal winter there might have been three. In Devon, the sea turned red. Buds haven't opened yet. Flowers aren't out yet. There's a dull pause. But things, soon, will change.

Look at this view.

The tree on the right - its leaves will soon cover half the scene.
The brambles on the left will fill out and provide blackberries.

But . . .

The orange blur of willows in the middle - I won't be able to go back to them because - see the orange triangle below the castle? It's rock where there should be green - the bushes have slid. I wouldn't like to be slid upon if any more of the cliff comes down.

This is how it was in December.

On the left, the lower ladder is in place. The white, bare, tree in the middle is there.

And now . . .
 gone.


I was thinking nothing much happens with this view.
I was wishing I'd chosen something more dynamic.
Then part of it went.
You never can tell with a view!
