Sea Pink


I am very proud of this picture of 'sea pinks' or 'thrift' as they are more commonly known (real name: armeria maritima) . They were growing wild on the artificially created sea defences at Hengistbury Head. Like little ballerina tutu's on slender green stems. I love how you just can't hold nature back, 'what will be, will be' as they say. I love how beauty can root itself in seemingly inhospitable places.
I wish I had a photo of me taking this photo, now that would have been comical! It was not easy, I was being held up by my bottom as they were quite high up.
