Beautiful backlit bluebells.

It's like summer but with bluebells in full spring bloom.

running here and there

 7th May 25, Howick, 6pm

Post-work jog down and up the Howick shore.



8th May 25, Shilbottle, 7:30am

The old mine railway is getting overgrown in places now which makes for wet feet on a dewy morning and the grass covers tricky ruts and rabbit holes.  Soon will come the nettles and it'll be impassable so that's probably it for running here until the autumn.



fine and dry

 5th May 25, Rothbury, 1pm

Dry weather and bonny gorse continue to be the theme of this spring





 5th May 25, Shilbottle, 8pm

A nice walk finding the best part of the day

We're having a few days of warm weather and the gorse is loving it this year. 

1st May 25, Morpeth, 7:30am

A lovely early morning run with Henry running past swathes of garlic and bluebells.

A fine post-work visit to Embleton Bay. Not much beach due to high tide.

weekending

28th April 25, Longhorsley, 7am

A short but peaceful early Sunday morning cycle along the road.


27th April 25, Felton, 11am

It's bluebell season.  There were carpets of flowers in the woods but I liked this single plant catching the sun.


27th April 25, Rothbury, 2pm

There's not been any rain for a while and the Coquet is running low.

the journey

 18th April 25, Buston, 6am

To the beach with a camera at 6am this morning. Too late for sunrise but the rest of 'golden hour' looked promising. 

By the time I'd cycled down the sun had gone up into the clouds but there was plenty of golden light and delicate patterns in the sky. 

 The beautiful light across the sea merited its own photograph.






On the way back up the old mine railway.  Sometimes the journey is more than the destination
