Rock n' roll.....

 Over the last few days it's just been great being able to get out and about-bright sunny days but chill Easterly winds. Living in Dumfries means that it doesn't take long to be out in the surrounding countryside or on the beach.

So my son and I took a trip to Powillhimont Beach on the Solway Coast before heading to New Abbey to warm up with delicious refreshments  at the Abbey Cottage tearooms,adjacent to the ruins of Sweetheart Abbey.....

The images of  ruins  can be inspirational.....

Sweetheart Abbey,New Abbey

So can rock structures.....

And large rocks....

And smaller ones...

To transient patterns in the sand....

And maybe these are some of  the reasons why I enjoy incorporating texture into my work .......
