Pembroke lichens.......

Early on a wet morning I came across this lichen on some rock just out of reach of the highest tide. I had great difficulty getting the exposure right to bring out the colours.







These ring structures take years to develop - whenever you see them you know that something is pretty old.

From the Algarve......

I just love the textures and colours in this sedimentary rock.



Another splash - a bit of a theme developing



Crikey! Echelon folding on the west coast.

Kilve beach earlier this year.....

Catching up on some photographs from earlier this year. These are from Kilve Beach on the North Somerset coast.



I stumbled on this little arrangement whilst scrambling over the rocks. The ammonite is now on my office mantlepiece.



Some ankle snappers were coming in from the Irish Sea.
