Just Add Ink #299 Inspiration

Hello there,
it's Friday and that means it's time for a new Just Add Ink challenge and this week Jan has found a very refreshing inspiration photo for us. I just love that it works for both hemispheres - wonderfully cool and enticing for us in the South and a promise of the warmth and summer days to come for those longing for winter to end in the North. Just find what inspires you and use that as the starting point of your project - the colours, patterns or elements within. Here's the picture.
