Austere Beauty

Yesterday we had a wonderful meditation and a vibrant conversation during the following lunch with Sarah and her friends Jacky and Sue. In the afternoon we three went to the beach nearby in Carsluith ...

At the seaside in Carsluith I took this photos with the warm light of the late winter sun. The teasel you can see on the single photo above is one of my favourite flowers - and if I should choose for a flower I would like to be, it would be her. The teasel as the coast of Scotland has an austere beauty, which I like very much.
