Playing at the Beach and on the Porch

Week 37, One with Cooper at Basin Head, PEI
The family drove up to Basin Head for a walk on the beach on Sunday. I snuck a few pieces of copper and broken mirror into my knapsack just in case I might have a chance to do something. It was a beautiful day and everyone was OK about sitting and relaxing in the sun while I played on the beach.
Basin Head is an incredibly beautiful place!
I am so in love with the color of the copper plates, sky blue and the sand. Plus the shapes and texture of the three elements in the installation are a big wow for me. The natural and the unnatural combined to accent each other.
It was a perfect Sunday afternoon to play at the beach!
And, now a few images of what I did on the porch yesterday.
"Muddled Puddles"
This is my first try with colored water and mirror and I am so excited about the idea. I have 300 images to look at and edit, but the possibilities are enormous and so much fun. The installation did create a lot of mess to clean up!
"Reflecting Thoughts"
It was lots of fun trying to quickly catch the moment before everything changed. The water dries really fast and moves, plus the wind was blowing the dried Queens Ann Lace around. All in all I am really excited about the effects I captured with my camera. Next week I hope to add my copper plates to the installation and see what happens.
