Stormy Sea

I went out today for a wander along the shore, there have been reports of octopus and lobster being washed up due to the storms we've been having lately, so I wanted to see if I could find anything useful!

 

This is Blackhead bay on the Antrim Coast, some great wildlife about here, I've seen seals, dolphins, porpoise, minkie whales and even a basking shark!

 

 

water was choppy and a high tide so not much chance of finding anything washed up,but a forage along the shoreline revealed...

and rather weather beaten, but still resiliant wild thyme..I've often used this to flavour the mackerel I've caught underneath the lighthouse! Those were good days.
