There's mackerel in the sky

24th June 2018, Newton Point, 7am

A patch of pastel colour lingered at the horizon long after sunrise.  High above the sky was full of delicate mackerel clouds.

Meanwhile back at home the mackerel sky hung about for a while but soon disappeared - perhaps burned off by the warm sun.

While I took a photo of the light on the Skaith, Daisy went straight into the water to cool her paws.

Later, from our high perch, Daisy spotted Jane and Charley so we went to say hello...

rain then blue

20th June 2018, Dunstanburgh, 8am

Last night's rain clouds were moving high above the castle and saddle rock before heading off to sea.

To replace them was a warm blue sky for a while at least.

Daisy gave me one nice pose then decided she'd had enough photos taken...

sick day

19th June 2018, Embleton Bay, 6am

Up early as Daisy was wanting out with a dicky tummy.

It's not a great hardship and once we'd been out and she'd eaten a bit of grass she was fine.

a favourite place

This is always a peaceful spot to sit with the birds.

close waves

Daisy had a good run about but we stayed well away from the tern colony and turned back South along a high tide beach.

The high tide brings the breaking waves nice and close to the camera.

Some of the wild flowers are fading now but others are glorious.  Sea Pink or Thrift with bird's foot trefoil in the background.

storms passing

16th June 2018, Newton Point, 5pm

There was thunder in the air and Daisy was a bit unsettled but my rain app told me it was heading away over the sea so we headed out.

Soon the clouds were out over the horizon and blue sky was coming up from behind.
