Queen Anne’s Lace and Breaking Waves

Queen Anne's Lace at the shore

Spied this thicket of Queen Anne’s Lace while driving. The white umbrel heads looked so beautiful bobbing in the breeze, while behind them the white waves broke on the shore, that I had to pull over and try to capture them for my water photo of the week.

If I were a fabric designer, I’d be inspired. This image of Queen Anne’s Lace would make an excellent motif in a line of Northwest Shirts, styled after the Hawaiian Shirt, but made of some Northwesty fiber. Flannel maybe, or fleece, or Gore-Tex.*

If you’ve got a water photo you’d like to share here send it to idigress at tidallife.com.

*Tamar, this would be perfect for The Star Store.

Lucky for the bird population non of our beach finds included feathered bodies. Here’s what we found instead.This charming yellow sailboat was…
