Ladies in waiting......

..... at last the sculpture is out in the open.

After months of of work in the studio the pieces are out in the open where they should be.

The sculpture trail is in the walled garden at Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk and there are many more pieces to look at; these just happen to be mine.

On my way to the beach...

..I found the seedhead of the Butterbur. It stands about 14 inches high so a bit difficult to miss really.

The beach, as you can see, was not available as it was high tide and the north wind was blowing. The waves were about 10 feet but there was a lot of spray so I put the camera away.

They do start young........

.......or am I getting older.

Some good waves over the last few days but a real nip in the wind.

The Sea Holly appears to have set seed
so with luck there may be a few more plants next year which would be good. It is a very handsome fellow when in flower.

Play time in the surf.

School may have started but they all turned out yesterday in the early evening to enjoy the big sea.

It was a bit crowded with lots of yelling and whooping plus a few good rides.

A lot going on ......... so this is just a taste.

A big swell this morning.

The rain overnight had cleared and the surf was up.

It was a big sea with the waves close together but worth a go. This lad got some good rides but also some drubbing from the waves.

It was hard work out there.

The last of the summer sun......

......some of the people who are staying in the holiday cottages on our lane enjoying the evening light.

I am not sure what this is but I think it has something to do with the wind farms being built along the coast. It is not the first one I have seen.

The North sea had turned to foam.....

....and had churned itself up overnight and got itself into a right lather. The gate had been closed which is very unusual this early in the season. It was not a very high tide but a lot of wind was driving the sea up the beach.

A shot of my workshop where outdoor sculpture is in production, and I mean production, as the summer is nearly over and I am behind myself.

Some of the smaller pieces are going to Blickling Gardens tomorrow and the larger ones to Felbrigg walled garden in October.
