Here are some things close up from this morning's walk through a big landscape. These lichen patterns reminded me of footprints.
...and another one in what seems to have become a series of beach patterns (Day 3!)

photobombed
19th August 2017, Embleton Bay, 8am
Sometimes I like to go up high first to see where the beach is quietest so we can descend for a run about without bothering anyone. Today there was quite a lot of choice
Down on the beach in among the fresh water that flows endlessly across the sand.
I had lined up a nice photo (similar to one I took recently) until I was photobombed by my hairy companion...

along and above

A beautiful morning along the beach and above the beach
17th August 2017, Chatton Park, 10am
A walk in good company up to the cup and ring marks of Chatton Park Hill.

Long shadows
16th August 2017, Dunstanburgh, 7:30am
In the middle of summer the sun is already high in the sky by the time of my normal dog-walk. Soon we'll get to the sunrise dogwalk of autumn and winter. My favourite time of year. Meanwhile, as the days shorten the shadows lengthen.

bejewelled
15th August 2017, Embleton Bay, 7:30am
Some days I enjoy ignoring the obvious draw of Dunstanburgh Castle and point my camera elsewhere. Today was all about the waves and the sunlight shining through the rollers.
Meanwhile up in the dunes the morning sun caught the harebells bejewelled by the overnight rain.
Not much running around from the hound this morning. She's getting older (aren't we all) and saves her energy for special pals...

I was fortunate to miss this heavy shower on my run. Only a few cooling raindrops came my way

very very purple
13th August 2017, Hepburn Moor, 11am
The heather is looking amazing just now. I suspect this profusion of heather comes in part from the grouse moor management where heather is burnt and regenerates fresh growth for the grouse to feed on.
It was therefore great to wander up Ros Castle (owned by the National Trust) to see more diversity in among the beautiful heather. Ferns, rowans, blaeberries and many different types of bees going crackers for the heather flowers.

very very blue
13th August 2017, Embleton Bay, 7:30am
A beautiful sunny morning with blue sky and blue sea and bright sun.
It'll get busy later but for now it was just a few friendly dog-walkers. It was disappointing to have to pick up some poo from the middle of the beach. This is so rare that it is very noticeable when it happens. I honestly can't remember the last time I found any dog poo on the beach. We seem to get very responsible dog-owners around here and the cleaner the beach is when they arrive, the more likely they are to pick up after their own dog. That's why I don't hesitate to pick up after others - after all we can all make mistakes. I also like to remove any ammunition from the people who would have dogs banned from the beaches.
