Moments of inspiration

Just about anywhere in Dorset gives an artist the buzz which sets you yearning for the paint brushes.
When walking in forest, fields and beaches - you see we have everything in Dorset - often one comes upon a view or moment of magical light or sheer beauty which stops you in your tracks.
One such moment happened a couple of days ago when walking in the fields along the Fleet shoreline and looking towards Portland.
It was one of those typical winter dull grey misty days, when suddenly a streak of invisable sunlight, not seen until it touched the water, set vivid sparkling stars dancing in a small area on the dark grey sea.  It was mesmerising, a beautiful sight and a reminder that even on the darkest days, the sun is still there!  And I didn`t have my camera!

Spring In Egdon  Forest
The forty shades of green are just amazing at any time of year - but the soft lime greens of early Spring are something so special.
