It is! It’s considered one of the most beautiful parts of the British coast, and it holds a part of my soul. ✨

They are really beautiful, and noisy (so many nesting birds)! I spent a lot of my childhood holidays there, so I took Bob there to show off all my haunts, and we watched the harbour cut into the basalt be swamped by the waves. πŸ˜… The black basalt is really cool! πŸ˜ƒπŸ’œ

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a red and pink frog sitting on a lily pad in a pond at sunset, legs splayed, rolling their eyes upwards.
There are lily flowers floating on the pond and bullrushes at the left edge of the pond behind the frog, and the sky has orange and red clouds against a blue sky.
The frog is sitting like a human, hand around one ankle, other arm resting on the other leg. They look slightly tired and annoyed. 
Mood.

Portrait of the artist being severely annoyed at being chronically unwell, as I got a migraine today.
Um, while being a frog. Totally a frog. A very annoyed frog.

A graphite, marker, and paint pen drawing of a green frog facing right in profile, pushing out their lower lip, and looking sort of awkward and clunky (like me!). They have a gold eye with a round black pupil.
Green metallic pen lettering is on the upper left and lower right of the frog; left says 
β€œIS FROG. MAKE
NO APOLOGIES”,
and the right says
β€œFOR
BEING
FROG.”
β€œ(Or forg!)” is written underneath in green pen.
The ground underneath Frog is shaded in grey-green.
Make no apologies for being yourself!

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a round bottle label with a tired-looking green frog in the center, pushing one large webbed foot towards the viewer. Lettering around the edge says β€œTired Frog Foot Balm”, and β€œPause Your Paws! 2oz”.
The label edge is orange, with a pond at night in the center background. The frog is larger than the edges of the center drawing, head and feet overlapping the label slightly.
Inspiration: Anton Seder frog art.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a gently glowing vulture skeleton standing on flat ground under a full moon with a vulture skull silhouetted across its face. There are mountains in the background and stars in the night sky.
Vulture Ghost stalks the land whenever a full moon coincides with Friday the 13th. Which isn’t very often. 
Vulture Ghost doesn’t get seen a lot. This makes Vulture Ghost sad.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a hare up on their hindquarters, grooming their shoulder. The hare is decorated with leaves from a variety of amaranth called Joseph’s Coat; each leaf starts purple at the base, then fades into yellow, then green at the tips. The hare’s nose and tail are balls of amaranth seeds.
(Amaranth is an ancient grain used by the Aztecs, among others.)
The hare has their back to the viewer, with their head turned towards the viewer from the left side. Their ears are single amaranth leaves.
The hare has been reworked with gel pens to smooth and intensify the colours, and I’m much happier with it.
Hare reference: 19thC public domain prints.
Flower reference: The Besler Florilegium, 1613.
