I get up far too early really Lucy, habit, even though I am now retired. I think my brain must be wired that way. And gives me a chance to work on my blogs with no phones ringing.
I have brown eyes. When I was a child my mother dressed me mostly in browns to my chagrin; I'd much rather have had pretty colors: red, blue, green, etc. Now that I am grown: the older I get the more beautiful brown is to me. Maybe that is the way she was seeing it. Now I find great pleasure in the richness of all the shades of brown... lovely, Lucy.
Brown isn't really a colour for little girls, I don't think. And middle aged women can look drab. However, older women with white hair can look very beautiful when wearing natural browns.
And I don't know why - but little boys can often look very handsome in brown. Don't know why there's that difference.
What interests me about this picture is that one usually associates brown with autumn - but I took this photo yesterday (on the 13th January).

Reminds me of a painting Lucy - lovely light and forms.
Good morning Hermes.
I look forward to your early comments.
Big thanks. It makes a cheerful start to the day.
And I was really pleased with this photo - the way it makes brown warm and interesting.

I like the sepianess (is there such a word, Lucy) of this very much.
Oooh! Like a big spread of porridge!
Barbee, hello!

Thank you Weaver of Grass.
If it weren't for the green seaweed in the foreground, one might even take it to be a sepia photo.
As it is . . . well, as you say . . . it's almost full (but not quite!) of sepianess.
(Seems a pretty good word to me!)

Gordon - I don't know what's happened in Scotland recently but, when I lived there, porridge wasn't lumpy and brown.
And the porridge I make now isn't either. Indeed, it comes out a pleasant, creamy kind of colour.
Do you burn yours, perhaps?
Incidentally, the lumps and bumps are part of a lumpy bumpy rocky area which is revealed at low tide.

Oh! Bother. I'm coming out as collected again.
Far from Collected!
Lucy
(It is me!)
