#31: Reflections from the shore

Nairn beach, 8:57. A rising tide, with still over an hour to go the water level is already where it was this time yesterday, high up the beach. Tide tables say the height will be 4.3 metres but no waves are crashing against the prom today. The Firth gently moves, reminding me of Farrow & Ball grey, much like the sky.  Just two boats out on the water, parked outside the entrance to Cromarty firth across the way.  Beyond the boats a patch of blue sky above the Black isle. Quiet. Even the gulls are quiet this morning.  I think I will sit for a while. Pied wagtail bouncing close by my bench, joyous little thing.
