up and down this way and that

25th July 2020, Warkworth, 8am

As we walked up and down the beach the light was playing with the land and sea.

I was trying to keep up,
looking this way and that;
one minute seeing lichen patterns on the boulders of the breakwater
one minute looking out to sea and up to the clouds
and the next down at the wave patterns rolling into the beach.
