Yesterday was a day of shapes for me. I seemed to be seeing them everywhere and the light was playing games as well.
Here’s a tiny sample:
Morning Time, Garrarus Beach, Co. Waterford
Rockface
Sea of Cloud
Fishing Spot at the Cliff Road, Tramore, Co. Waterford
The Metal Man and Brownstown Head, Tramore, Co. Waterford
Sundown off Garrarus, Co. Waterford

Neat pictures Jean.
Thanks Paul. Funny, we don’t use ‘neat’ the way you do. Mainly ‘neat and tidy’ here – well not here here!
That’s the primary meaning here as well Jean . The secondary meaning is “done with skill and ingenuity, wonderful, terrific, cool.” There is also a tertiary meaning ” a cocktail or alcoholic drink served without ice or water in the glass” Ha!
It was the secondary meaning I was shooting for 😀
Looks like we use the first and definitely the third!
Lovely photos!
Thanks Dale. Yes, you’ve gotta come over here!
You know it’s on my list!!
Sure do. It’s getting from list to here that’s the issue.
I so hear you!
Good!
Keen observer!
Dana, I love that description. Keen is a great word.
I love this post.
Willow, glad you like it. It was fun writing it.
🙂 I did !!
Thanks xx
Your creative spirit is alive and well! A lovely post with perfect words and pictures.
Thanks Patsy. I think we’d be bunched if our creative spirits evaporated.
So, so true. Px
I like the way you find patterns in things Jean – shapes, textures.
Thanks Andrea. They’re everywhere, aren’t they?
Some excellent shapes Jean, particularly like the first with the wave just breaking.
Thanks Robin. I could watch waves breaking all day and night.
‘Throwing shapes’ – an expression I’ve only ever heard in Ireland. Generally used as a gently mocking term for someone showing off, or getting agitated. I think I first came across it at the athletics track in Dublin in reference to a group of sprinters posturing just before a race. A child in a temper perhaps. Looked like a lovely day Jean.
Hi Roy, it’s an interesting expression, isn’t it? I think it’s usually used behind people’s backs when they are thought to be a bit flaunty. It’s a wonder it hasn’t emigrated from here.
