In a few hours time it will all be underwater again.
By the way, that’s Hastings in the distance! Coming?

Hi Keith – wonderful photos … it’s amazing what grows in shingle, seashore … have you been to Derek Jarman’s cottage at Dungeness? Love the seeing the geology, the sea, the seaweeds … et al – cheers HIlary
It is indeed. I’m always amazed by the sea kale, especially when it flowers.I have indeed been to the cottage, Dungeness is a wonderful place to visit as is nearby Rye Harbour nature reserve. Thanks, Hilary.
What lovely photos your blog is the nearest I get to the sea heheh, one of my mates lives in Hastings well St Leonards on sea anyway 🙂
Have a capturetastic week Keith 👍
I’ve just walked to Aldi in St Leonards and back home again – I wonder if I saw your mate shopping in there!
For an artist this is a visual OD. Those rocks! Those wispy clouds! Those plants in that mud! And that last picture blows me away — an impressionist painter’s dream scene. ( Perhaps I should give up painting? I don’t seem to see straight anymore. 😉 )
Thank you so much, Christine. I often see artists sitting on the beach at low tide. As you can tell from the drifting sand in the last picture, I nearly got literally blown away, it was so windy! And don’t you DARE give up painting!
Is that light playing across the sand in the last picture? or light playing across shallow water?
No, I’m not giving up, even if it takes me five hours, as this latest one did.
You can see it here: https://treetophaiku.com/2021/09/23/ive-taken-up-art/
It’s shallow water and something you have to watch if the tide’s coming in because it deepens rapidly and can leave you stranded.
Love the picture and left a comment there!
Great shots. The green is so vibrant and that last one is just fabulous!
I’m so pleased you liked them, Lydia, thank you.
How i wish i could be there! If i could visit, i promise i would.
I really wish you could too Mimi!
Such beautiful seashore pics. Very lovely.
Thank you so much.
How unexpected to find beauty where the sea is not.
Indeed. It’s like a different place every six hours.
I love the sea. High tide or low tide. Beautiful.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Keith. 🙂
Me too, I can’t imagine living without it on my doorstep. Thanks, Sandee.
So beautiful.

Thanks, Regine.
Such interesting erosion patterns! It’s funny, my WW this week is looking at eroded rock formations on the California coast.
They do say, great minds think alike! Your WW could easily have been taken on my beach!
Your low tide does not need many words:):) It looks like you edited your shots? I really miss the coastline here, since most of my life I’ve lived an hour or less away from it.
I can’t imagine being landlocked again! I did very little editing, it really wasn’t necessary. Thanks so much, Emille.
Looking forward to your next wordless (just to put the pressure on, haha), Emille
I’d better put on my thinking cap!
Beautiful photos! I love low tide almost as much as I love high tide.
Thanks so much, Vicki. They are both wonderful in their own way.
Lovely photos. They make me want to explore the rock pools to see what has been brought in on the tide.
What are the old wooden stakes in the 7th photo?
The pools are alive with small crabs and little fish as well as mussels. The wooden stakes are the remains of an old breakwater. There are lots of complete ones along the beach and they resemble very high wooden walls which travel down into the water. Because the beach is in a bay the waves come ashore at an angle and the breakwaters are there to prevent the shingle from being shifted aside at high tide.
Low Tide always has something interesting to share and this place is wonderful Thanks
It does, with its rivulets and pools. Thanks so much.
Beautiful rock formations.
The result of years of ebbing and flowing tides. Thanks, Susan.
These are lovely photos. I enjoyed watching the natural patterns.
I never tire of looking at them. Thanks, Shiju.
