Pretty much the greatest car of all time. Like a time-traveling station wagon from California.

Missed Connections: You were the girl in the lampshade hat driving the ancient wagon with the surf board on top—even though it was Ohio—and the skeleton in sunglasses pretending to smoke in the passenger seat. I was in the right lane thinking about leaving this capitalism bullshit behind. Save me.

Two sea gulls are seen on a wet, rippled beach at Cannon Beach, Oregon--one flying above the surf and one standing near the shore. Dark storm clouds hang low over the ocean, and misty cliffs near Ecola State Park rise in the distance, creating a dramatic coastal scene.

uvenile brown pelican standing in the shallow surf, viewed from behind. The bird’s head is turned to the left so you have a nice profile of his brown head and long brown beak, which is held down against the bird’s body. The wing feathers, folded across his back, are brown edged in white. His legs are short and you can’t see the feet because they are buried in water and possibly sand. His dark eye shines in the sun. The shot is taken at a low angle so the background is light blue sky.

I shared this handsome boy with you last month and he is back today as my contribution to the #birdoftheday theme of Standing In Water because he is definitely doing that #birds

A large sea stack known as Haystack Rock rises from the surf at Cannon Beach, Oregon, beneath a stormy sky. Its reflection appears clearly in the wet sand as waves approach the shore, creating a dramatic and moody coastal scene filled with natural power.

This pair of Royal Terns also just look mahvelous, don’t they? I need to find out who does their hair.

So, this raises the question about the definition of “the ground”. I assert that any beach above the current tide level (out of the surf) is ground.

In addition to responding to the #birdsontheground prompt, this pair of Royal #Terns also work for #TwoferTuesday.

A Black Oystercatcher walks among the smooth beach rocks of the surf line with an oyster shell held firmly in its bright orange beak.

Massive crashing waves with lots of white spray thrown into the air, white surf, and grey skies above.

Absolutely mad waves out today (and the wind is quite fierce 😬).

Looking down at surfers in the ocean from the Pismo Beach pier. Some are floating on their boards waiting for waves, while one is riding a wave. You can see more surfers off in the distance. The ocean is a green-blue with moderate waves, and the sky is partly cloudy. Pismo Beach, California

Six years ago, I did a #WhenWasThings for November 1975, this was only the sixth instalment but it was the first one where I thought, The design for this could be anything, could go anywhere...

A drawing of the character "The Giant". He is standing at the end of the pier. He is colored in white but there is a bit of a shadow on the left of him and on the right. One shadow is blue, the other pink. Above him are three hearts, one is blue, second is white and the third one is pink. Behind him is the grey sea and an island in the distance. Above all of that is a crescent moon.

Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. Bottom half is sea in dots of greens, blues, purples. 2 kayakers, bottom right of center, enter sunlight on water, rendered in added dots of whites and yellows and pale colours, that guides them towards the twin smokestack chimneys which have red and white bands on their top halves and muted grey-green on their lower halves. Across the middle of the painting are bands of pale blue for the distant tree/building line, then the rear of Dun Laoghaire's stone East Pier rendered in mid-blue with some light blue stone work and the odd orange stone, and immediately below it is the band for the pier's protective rip-rap rendered in dark blue with light blue and orange rocky details. The left kayak is light blue and right one is yellow. Both figures have orange life-jackets and orange paddles but other wise they are dark silhouetted against the dappled sunlight on the water. The sky is a painterly yellow. Signed bottom left in red, Liam Daly

Feels like a day for this #painting. "Poolbeg, Kayakers, Sunlight" came out of monthly cycles past Scotsmans Bay where I would invariably stop and enjoy the views across Dublin Bay and wait for kayakers to paddle into my picture. #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear #Scape

All the colours aligned for the arrival of the stone.
Sea, land, tractor, and ship.

Stone for the resurfacing of Papay runway one, arriving at the New pier yesterday.

A small gull in its first winter plumage, a white body with brown mottled wings, and grey legs and beak, takes off from a wooden piling where the Thames and Wandle meet.

A juvenile common gull takes off from one of the old pier pilings at Point Pleasant, on the Wandle delta.

This photo beautifully captures the Surf City Pier in North Carolina during the early morning hours, just before sunrise. The sky is painted in rich layers of orange, gold, and deep purple, creating a dramatic and peaceful atmosphere. The pier extends gracefully into the Atlantic Ocean, with its structure silhouetted against the glowing horizon. Soft waves roll gently toward the shore, reflecting the warm light of the sunrise and the glow from the pier’s lamps, which sparkle like stars along its length. Dozens of fishermen line the pier, their silhouettes standing out as they cast their lines into the calm morning sea. The overall mood is tranquil and timeless — a serene moment where night transitions into day, capturing the quiet beauty of coastal life at dawn.

I am in the process of picking photos for a beach calendar as a gift to a Portuguese friend. This one is under consideration.

Living Without a Mind's Eye and the Ability to Visualize | KQED We talk about aphantasia and what it tells us about how our brains perceive and remember.

We're talking to @newyorker.com's Larissa MacFarquhar and Aphantasia Network founder Tom Ebeyer about aphantasia, the inability to conjure up mental images, and what it tells us about how our brains perceive and remember.
