Beach Textures Photography
With winter fading into spring, or mud season as we call it, and temps now above freezing most of the day, I’ve been spending more time on the beach walking and enjoying the salty air and not being bundled up in all my thickest clothing.

“Galdr: Thought + Memory” poetry by Michael Raven
Raw Earth Ink is proud to present Michael Raven’s debut poetry book, Galdr: Thought + Memory.
Michael Raven offers his collection of dark poetry, ringing with elements of nature, the heart, shamanic roots, and clever wordplay he weaves an esoteric tapestry using the threads of thought and of memory found within the loom of life. Part mystic, part arcane, and all deep, he pulls from the old ways to bring some semblance of order to the chaos in the mind. He wends and entwines the art of poetry with philosophy. Read and allow your spirit to reap merit.

Wintery Ocean Photography
The other day I mentioned I had been unable to leave my property (via vehicle) due to a combination of heavy snow, warming up to rain, back to snow, several cycles every few days. Then a big wind which drifted the snow. My driveway, and indeed the road to my driveway and even the byway to the road were all unplowed and even four wheel drive was a struggle.
I don’t mind staying home. But when the front end loader was able to make it to my place and clear the snow away, I took the opportunity to get to the beach for a fresh view.
Unsurprisingly, I took about 500 photos which I have now pared down to about 30. In no particular order, here are some of those. I hope you enjoy.

Sunday Vibes
After being housebound the last few weeks with about ten feet of snow surrounding my house, my driveway impassable, I was finally dug out on Friday just enough to get down the drive and out to the beach for an hour of salty fresh air and wide open skies.
I couldn’t have asked for a nicer afternoon.
I took about 500 photos so I’m working my way through them to pick out a few of my favorites for a future post, but for today, here’s one as I was driving away. Unedited.

Windy Afternoon Photos
The other day it was quite windy here. Winds 25-30 mph (about 40-48 kmh). Fairly typical winter winds. That brought temps down to about -5*F (-21C)… which doesn’t feel (or sound) too bad … except it was. To snap these photos, I had to put on full gear, including balaclava, glasses, down hood and parka. Normally I don’t have to go to such extremes, since I’m used to the chill, but man that wind makes a difference. Fingers (or any uncovered skin) go numb in mere seconds without protection. As such, I didn’t stay out long but I hope you enjoy a few windswept snowbanks and a lovely setting sun.
