after the solstice...

27th June 2022, Buston, 9am

There is joy in finding photographs in the big view and the small details.

Here to listen to some music, drink some beer and sing a couple of songs.

An early run along nice firm sand.  It's where my feet love to be

boat-walker

 22nd June 22, Alnmouth, 8pm

After a dull cloudy solstice, today was much nicer.

I'll call this "taking the boat for a walk"

I was too early for sunset but it was beautiful and the fierceness of the day's sun had receded to a gentle light.

Colours showing nicely on this wee swallow.

There was a heatwave widely predicted for today but in Northumberland it was cool and grey (which meant I could have a lovely long run).

I love the wild flowers on the managed areas of the coast but it’s nice to find orchids inland in a farmer’s grassy field. 

Curlews are nesting hereabouts too and yellowhammers are singing from the hedges. 

Sometimes all nature needs is to be left alone.

they seek him here and there...

Today’s guided walk clients were quite into their wild flowers and birds and the meadows, dunes, ponds and coast didn’t let us down. 

 This is Burnet Rose which has a cute scientific name - Rosa pimpinellifolia 

A tiny but formidably spiky wee guy, this one had a nice splash of pink across its petals.

A beautiful day up in the castle to photograph a wedding

Definitely worth the effort just for the colour of the sea.

I was glad of the breeze til I turned round and was sand-blasted. Not complaining though...

double visiting

We walked through the wild flowers on today's guided walk and it was so nice I came back and sat and had my lunch.
