Today I'm a sea monster

I'm not a big fan of a hairbrush, in fact I'm often called a bit of a sea monster due to having a thatch of hair. Always makes me giggle, I do brush my hair, honest, but in our wind if you aint wearing a hat, you've not got a hair style.

Anyway, talking of sea monsters, which we are now, we saw this particular sea monster, on a wonderful trip to stalk other members of our family, in Morayshire earlier in the year - the beach we were on was in Findhorn - we came accross this - what do you think it is? Clearly plant based (seaweed), a nessie? a monster? an elegant seaweed swan?  a duck monster?
What about you? what do you see?

Everytime I look at my sea monster I see a new thing. If you click on the picture and see the bigger photo you'll see this particular monster is a mix of wood, conifers, sea weed, grass and many other delights that all tumbled together to create this piece of 'beach eco-art'
It just reminds me that plants are very clever aren't they - feed us, clothe us, fuel our cars and they even make monsters,and giant slumbering 'Mud Maids' [Helligan Gardens in Cornwall - unfortunately I've not been (YET)]- I love it when plants surprise us and give us a feast for the eyes.

Clever little monsters, aren't they? I've a school appointment tonight - I guess I'll have to find a brush.
