...And I think I'd prefer this shot without the seaweed. Not sure it needs a 'point of focus'; the colours themselves are so beautifully nuanced. Without the seaweed it would certainly be more abstract...

I don't mind telephone wires (and don't anyone clone them out, or the bird will have nowhere to sit)...
Heron along the shore of a canal. I was across the canal and just about out of range for a decent capture.

mmmmmust, resist.... ( and an attempt at a dad joke: "What about birds that use WiFi? They don't need wires" )

Thank you for the feedback. I know what you mean and I will definitely try it out under similar conditions the next time as the beach is a short drive away and very different to others I normally frequent.
Abstract and minimal photography is something I really like, but don't often get the chance to complete. One of my favourite photographers (Bruce Percy) has a distinct style and I love the simplicity of the work he produces - all on film I might add.
He 'builds up' a scene rather than the usual start with a lot then 'taking away' to simplify. It's an approach I've been practicing. He is an absolute master, and evidently a very clever guy. His blogs are excellent as well and give great insight to the theory and thinking behind his approach.
Bruce Percy, check out his work: http://www.brucepercy.co.uk/
Some of the finest work I've seen was from his 2015 trip to the Bolivian Altiplano. Truly staggering stuff: http://www.brucepercy.co.uk/#/bolivian-altiplano-2015/
Nice restraint. Any dad worth his salt knows when it's proper to refrain from crossing the line and actually making the joke, in favor of pointing out that there was a joke there to be had (and mentioning the joke in the not telling of it).

But that's the nib of it right. I mean I am not a Fountain of knowledge but the writing was on the wall that to crack the joke was not cool...

You're equally as guilty!
I love white sandy beaches, Desdin FL comes to mind. Think I'm passing on this one.

I bet you can't go out for a walk on the ocean down in Florida.I love white sandy beaches, Desdin FL comes to mind. Think I'm passing on this one.

Ok, but not totally in context. What about the bathing suit? No, you can't wear it over a survival suit either. Gotta show some skin.

Exactly, and you just have to wear layers over your bathing suit. Plus when summer comes around I can sit out in the sun on the beach at midnight, I bet you can't do that down there in Florida.
Well, ok. Not sure that you could actually sit out on "your" beach in the summer in a bathing suit. When I lived in Alaska there were these nasty little critters called "no seeums". I think they were all jaw and teeth. BTW, not in FL. Savannah, JaJah.Exactly, and you just have to wear layers over your bathing suit.

Definitely not a Garage Queen, this car has the numerous little nicks in the paint and other imperfections to prove it. But if the weather is halfway nice I will take it out for a drive in the winter without hesitation. (I do try my best to avoid the occasional mounds of road salt left over by crews treating the roads during the previous storm) I do love driving, even the minivan I drive most days. Hey, we all have those things we love to do.
