Sea carrot, for Pam

Pete,
Pam,
Great comments, thank you!

Thank you, Ruth!

I didn't know that's what the plant was called. I have no balance at all, and I tend to think I'm falling just standing up on a flat surface, so this position would be a big no-no to me.

It is a proud member of the parsley family that includes carrots and many other umbrellifers, Jenny.
I always had a good sense of balance that was helpful in the sports I enjoyed playing (tennis, rock climbing, cricket - which is my all time favourite sport, football ... and darts!). But no longer. I walk many miles a day between classes and am pleased to do so, elsewise I would get precious little exercise, but from time to time I keel over, so to speak, in the most unexpected places. I am feeling fine one minute and the next I am being held up by concerned passers-by as I lose my balance and fall in crowded streets or on a metro station escalator. My consultant assures me that this is normal ... and preferable to the alternative!!!
So I have to go along with it!
C'est la vie!

Awesome shot! Love the distant lighthouse!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS

LOVE THAT LIGHTHOUSE... I WISH

Many thanks, Pam!
Yes, it is frustrating because it is difficult to plan for! I haven't lost my balance on a walk in the country yet but it tends to happen if I have to stop suddenly in a crowd, or change my direction to avoid something unexpected. Someone stopped abruptly right in front of me the other day and I was carrying two heavy bags of shopping. I had to swerve to one side and then found myself losing my balance and performed a grotesque slow-motion dance in a futile attampt to stay upright! Fortunately there were many people all around and I was saved from crashing to the ground by a helpful passer-by and I also managed to keep a hold of my shopping bags with their many glass jars and bottles intact!

Very well composed Andy; like the flowers in the foreground.

A beautiful variety of flowers in the meadow on the hillside ...

Lovely misty shot Andy.

Superbe vue!!

Is the lighthouse still operational?

I don't think so, Steve.

Lovely colors and view, Andy *****************
