March

 No big storms this month.  If anything, the weather got sooo much better.  Lots of sunshine mornings and afternoons.  Sunrise dips with the wonderful Trooper and dancing in the waves with the rest of the Swimmin Wimmin.  I love the bones of them, I really do.  Got to celebrate International Woman's Day with them, swam on Mother's Day and St. Patrick's.  Couple of neap tides meant we had to, practically walk to Holyhead to find deeper water.  Oooh, and I swam to the first buoy in Tower Bay.... at least that's what I'm telling himself.  The water was shallow, I walked it!  Cackle.

p.s. With the days getting longer the sunrises are getting earlier.  I have a feeling these will be the last sunrise shots until September.  One thing I love about having a month of photos in one place is, the colour changes.  No filters ever needed.  Hour by hour, day by day, the sea is never the same twice.   I like that, makes me feel sane. 

FOLKLORE FOR THE SEASON

• A wet spring, a dry harvest.
• On St. Patrick’s Day, the warm side of a stone turns up, and the broad-back goose begins to lay. 
• March comes in with adders’ heads and goes out with peacocks’ tails.
• Thunder in spring, Cold will bring.
• So many mists in March you see, So many frosts in May will be.
• In beginning or in end, March its gifts will send.
• Bleak winds assault us all around;
  Dances aloft, or skims the ground:
  See the school-boy—his hat in hand,
  While on the path he scarce can stand
