fretting

 8th September 2023, Buston, 8am

My path festooned 

With morning jewels of heavy dew 

By the time I reach the sand 

I’m as wet as if I’d waded 

Into the waves

The sea fret rolls in during warm weather and can spoil the summer sunshine for the casual sun-bather. The myriad of fine droplets can give their own beauty to the micro-landscapes for the photographer to find (even for spider-phobic photographers!)

The sea fret swirls around the smiley lighthouse and stag rock.  Holy Island nowhere to be seen.
