Low slung bellies of boats as the tide sighs …
Clotted cream complexion protected by SPF 50 and a hat as broad as a house; vain hope she will not have to patronize Estee Lauder’s anti ageing products as her mother is forced to …
Waiting for the tide to turn? Watching the water? Willing a crab to scuttle up the sand? Who knows. Happy though ….
Like my feet. Happy, happy holiday feet …
The percussion of palms: fronds jangle and rattle and sigh and whisper according the instruction of the band’s conductor: the wind …
Lengthening shadows provide perfect paint for a self portrait in the sand …
Whilst the sand itself yields cavnas to all the feet that have walked the shore today: mine, Hat’s, the dogs, dozens of fishermen …
An evening trip on a dhow, with friends, to celebrate a birthday, life, the sunset …
And music so that Hat dances on the deck …
And on the way home, an elephant. One lone male, enjoying a drink, breaking his journey as we did ours.

Good photos RM. Especially like the elephant
Tick tock tick tock, only 2 and a half months til I’m back in Kenya!

I remember those toes! But the self-portrait’s got me worried… When did you join the convent?

Thanks for the photos. I needed some sun and palm trees on a dreary, cold day in the American Midwest.
Cheers.

Oh this was lovely. I remain convinced that photos and words enhance one another.

Great photographs, good to see what you saw. Had some idea of it anyway. Now reinforced by pictures. Greatly impressed by the elephant. Hat dances a good dance. Well polished toe nails.
