missing the weather

 14th October 2020, Alnmouth, 1pm

This morning's walk was misty and muddy.  As the morning wore on the sun came out and I had a sunny cycle to Alnmouth.

I use an app to forecast the rain and it's quite accurate.  It was very accurate today but for various reasons we ended up right under this shower.  If we'd been a few miles North we'd have been dry but then I wouldn't have got these photos.

wet walk

 13th October 2020, Buston, 2pm

It was grey and chilly but a lovely walk (until the rain started at our furthest point from home and it was very wet all the way home)

hooting whoopers

 12th October 2020, Warkworth, 7:30am

We had a flypast of hooting Whooper swans this morning.  They flew low straight towards but veered off to one side to avoid us before resuming their southerly migration.

Not many on the sands this morning.

It's great to be back running after 9 months off with a dicky knee.  I'm now revisiting my old favourite places and loving it.

autumn cobwebs

Up high on the moor with a brisk breeze clearing the autumn cobwebs from our heads.

limpet thoughts

 8th October 2020, Howick, 7:30am

Last night's rain had headed off out to the east and left behind a fine, calm morning that turned into a sunny day by the time we headed for home.

I saw these two and my thought for today is that limpets must reckon they are exempt from the laws of gravity. They adhere to rocks whatever way up they happen to be so gravity doesn't matter to them. Except they are wrong because gravity causes the tides that they depend on for life. 

So it is for us all. We think we're so clever that nature has no effect on our busy sophisticated lives until an earthquake, flood or pandemic changes everything and makes us realise how fragile that fancy lifestyle is. 

just in time

Here just in time for sunrise.
