We had our walk with Daisy's sisters but both of us wanted a bit more so we went down to the beach.
The morning sun was hiding somewhere, lighting up the clouds from behind.

swans
12th November 2018, Dunstanburgh Castle, 7:30am
A flight of swans approached from over the sea. I was quick enough with my camera but they were so low that they dropped in front of the headland robbing me of the silhouette I wanted. I got a shot as they flew away past the rock but not as good a photo as I would have wanted.
The experience of seeing and hearing these noble birds fly right past me was the most important thing though.
Moral: Don't live your life through a lens.
I took this shot as a reference image as it clearly shows the boundary between the limestone and the overlying vertical columns of the whin sill (basalt) that pushed its way into the carboniferous limestone some 300 million years ago.

gently does it
11th November 2018, Embleton Bay, 7:30am
A delicate, gentle light this morning.
The wide view (phone) shows what it looked like but then in the next two photographs I found different angles with the camera.
You can probably see where I found the photos within the wide view.

run to the sunrise
10th November 2018, Beadnell Bay, 6:57am
We started running at 6:57 and 33 minutes later we'd completed a 5K run just as the sun rose from the ocean at 7:30am. A very neat and tidy arrangement.
All the way S down Beadnell Bay I had to keep stopping to photograph the changing colours and their reflections.
I think this is the first time I've appeared on my own blog in 10 years but it was a special moment.

bleak is beautiful
8th November 2018, Newton Links, 4pm
I do like a bleak tree. There wasn't much colour around so the b/w seemed to suit the scene.
9th November 2018, Embelton bay, 7:30am
Today we invented "earobics" as the stiff breeze played a merry dance with Daisy's ears.

colour reflected
7th November 2018, Embleton Bay, 7:30am
One man's beach (two if you include me).
I love how the colour of sunrise is reflected in her eye.
7th November 2018, Long Nanny, 4pm
It was a spring high tide and the Long nanny was just part of the sea as we were heading into the blueness of a late winter afternoon...
I had both Bessie and daisy this afternoon. It's an absolute joy to walk with these two beautiful animals.

I love how the colour of sunrise is reflected in her eye.
The wind was fierce;
Ripping and tearing at the grass and ferns
The grasses of the dunes have seen it all before
(and worse)
And they bend and dance in the breeze.
The ferns can afford to lose their dying fronds
Their life essence hibernates in the soil
Sure to come to life again next year.
