Surfing in the waves..............
sea-weeds
A magical house..........
and gardens.
Hidden windows....
the trees reach in through the door.............
do the woodland creatures live here...........
and do they tip toe into the cottage in the night...............
We have just arrived back from a wonderful weekend away to celebrate Samhain...the weather was appropriately atrocious and the rain has lashed down for days..... but our cottage was cosy with log fires and warm wool blankets and the laughter of friends.........those no longer with us and those we can still hug. We remember and love them all...Happy Samhain, and a Happy Celtic New Year.
Love Lynn xxxx

Love your photos, very atmospheric!
You've got me mesmorized by the sea. That photo of your coast looks so similar to my beloved Northern California pacific coast. The photos of the sea cottage are mysteriously magical! I love this post!!! ox
Beautiful photographs, I especially love the peeling blue paint with the ivy creeping up it, some wonderful textures you have captured in your images.x
Looks really charming...
Happy Samhain my friend!
Hugs, Jenny

i particularly love the 2nd pic
there is something wonderful about that grey and the mustardy-green
warmest hugs x
A truly magical post. Thankyou.:)
it sounds like a wonderful time...the photos are fabulous and that cottage suitably spooky for all hallows!!x
Hallelujah! I would've moved in!!! You notice all the things I would! I just wrote a love song an included a line about an old tree coming into an old house, couldn't believe it when I saw that picture! And that floral glass on the window is to die for! I was expecting to see a ghostly figure emerge in your window shots, how glorious! (if you didn't catch my drift - LOVE this post!)
Beautiful! Sometimes I welcome the rain. Gives me an excuse to stay in and just relax.
Sounds like a wonderful time!
I am so thrilled to learn that you are celebrating the Celtic Samhain, having just been teaching Norwegians about the ancient origins of what we call Halloween today.
Your pictures of lichen roses and seaweeds and the abandoned house and beautifully atmospheric.

Everyone has already said it but, your photographs have such an atmosphere to them Lynn....I love that cottage just the way it is and I hope that it doesn't get bought by someone who will then put double glazed windows in and ruin it !!!!
Sounds as if you had a wonderful time away....there is nothing better that good friends, food and sharing memories, all cosy around the fire, with the weather raging outside.
Happy Samhain Lynn.Lets hope that we've had a good harvest.Hope that you are feeling well. XXXX
Ooh quite spooky Lynne. Wonderful atmospheric photos, letting your imagination do the rest. Glad you had a lovely trip.
Thankyou so much for your lovely comments, I am so thrilled to have inspired such a talented lady! Love to you, Linda x
What a truly magical post you've shown us on this Samhain. Your photos and words always transport me, as if I was there at that moment too.. looking in and seeing the beauty in the crumbling walls, peeling windows and hearing the roar of the dark sea.
It was a perfect thing to read on the most magical day of the year..and totally set the mood for today.. so thank you.
Blessings to you and yours at Samhain x Michelle x
Happy Samhain!
I think the atmosphere fo your photos are perfect for this celebration.
Such beautiful photos!

Perfectly lovely, Lynn. So gorgeous.
The blue paint with the leaves and bits of vine clinging looked like an interior to me at first...like earthy, three-dimensional wallpaper.
I am grateful for the layer you added to this rainy, quiet All Hallow's Eve.
....i love ivy, always seems to turn up when a house is fading.

I love the close-up photos of nature making beautiful patterns over the painted blue wood of the house! It sounds and looks as though you had a wonderful time away. :)
