The weather took a very dim view of our Mothers Day Outing to the beach yesterday. As usual what cannot be seen is the biting wind. The project which kept us busy and warm was collecting  sea shells and sea glass to make a beach themed condolence card. A niche project for sure but one that was very effective at passing an hour in fairly dreadful weather.

With a stroke of luck I found a perfect illustration of Mothers Day in seaweed.

A mother seaweed with a small baby seaweed. Currently entwined and destined to travel the tides together . The pebble they were both attached to has been split by being thrown onto the beach with force during the rough weather.

At some point they may be torn apart by another storm or they may float closely together forever. Just like mothers and their children. Who knew seaweed could bring such emotional depth.

And Emotional Depth is exactly what the ‘romantic’ filter brings to some photographs.
