On the hunt for some seaside reflections

Hello Hello everyone and welcome to the new week.

Last week I was exploring our local beach at low tide and I thought it would be a great time to catch some reflections and enter one of them for the Reflection Hunters Contest ~ Round 75

So let's go exploring and be careful of the water!

The beach that we are going to is Seafield beach in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.

First up we need to walk past the harbour sea wall, you can see the whole in the wall reflected well in the water.

Then over the broken harbour wall and into the rock pool area. Seaweeds and rocks make for some great shadows and reflections.

I love the green seaweed, it makes me think of a shaggy monster.
I swithered on which entry to pick, but I am going to plump for this picture as my reflections entry for Contest 75.
So this one is my entry 👇👇👇

I had to take a close up of the shaggy monsters hair🤣
What do you think. Does it remind you of a green shaggy monster or is it just me?

To round out this post and our wee seaside stroll I have included a reflection of the black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) I love the way water distorts an image, just look how long his neck it!
You can also tell that I took this picture in the summer, do you know why?
The black headed gull is called black headed for obvious reasons, but it is only with its summer plummage is there a black head. In the winter its head is white! Now, how cool is that?

So there we have it, I hope you enjoyed our wee stroll at the seaside.

Thanks for joining me and enjoy your week.

What's the reason for the change in color of the feathers of the gull, kuya? That's interesting.

Cool reflection! I do like green seaweeds like that and moss/lichens. There's something about them that attracts me.

That is a good question kuya, I don't actually know why they change and I shall see if I can find out!

Yeah I remember you saying you liked the green moss and lichens and seaweed. I am not a fan of green as such, but when nature does it, it is always stunning visually:)

Haha! it seems a shaggy monster indeed, but I don't like seaweed of any kind Super Ed, especially when I'm swimming in the sea I don't like the contact with them, hehe

And how cool that those gulls' heads change color according to the season.

Good luck in the contest :)

Yes I see so many monsters at the seaside!
Ah they are spooky when you touch them under the water, because you don't what it is Super Eli:)

Yeah I had never realised about the gulls, but I was at the park this morning and saw loads of them, and was think yep right enough in winter they have the white heads!
Thank you:)

Too many green monsters for my taste 😂

Ah they are spooky when you touch them under the water, because you don't what it is Super Eli:)

And besides that you don't know what they are, the seaweeds are viscous and sticky. And I don't like to touch them even when I know what they are, hehe.

That cutie reminds me of when I was a kid, and one of my aunts took me to a beauty salon with her, where they put a black cream and applied heat to my hair to smooth my curls. I ended up with literally green hair. And I can't tell you how many times I washed my hair in the following days. 🤣🤣🤣

They should have left your curls alone!

Oh yes, Super Ed!!! Funny but I was a bit traumatized. LOL And you know for some reason in Latin America women don't like curly and afro hair and go to great lengths to straighten it. I'm over it LOL and I let my hair be Jaja
