perfectly up and down

 7th July 25, Warkworth, 9am

A perfect bright and breezy morning by the sea.

So nice to walk for a few miles with the dogs up and down here.

daisies and quiet roads

 6th July 25, Longhorsley

From morning walkies through the daisies at the edge of the filed to a quick cycle round the quiet roads.

drama

 5th July 25, Newton Point, 9am

A beautiful sea made calm by a brisk westerly wind that also brought dramatic clouds (but no rain)

quiet time

 3rd July 25, Warkworth, 5pm

A lovely quiet time to come to the beach and a very beautiful afternoon.

I saw two other people in an hour of running and sitting.

one or two others

 22nd June 25, Embleton Bay, 8:30am

Pretty much the longest day and a lovely wander on my favourite patch.

There were one or 2 other folk around but that can be OK sometimes!

Patterns in the water and grasses suggested black and white textures.

goldilocks time

 19th June 25, Warkworth, 7am

The start of a few days of very warm weather.

It was just right for me at 7am.

and back we go

 14th June 25, Hauxley, 9am

After yesterday's brief summer, it was dreich and drizzly on the beach this morning.  It felt more like February than June but unlike February, there are colourful flowers to brighten the place up.

This week I shared an old slideshow of black and white photos for my Thursday night audience in Lucker.  

It’s where I started my photography in the school darkroom - developing and printing my own black & white photos - and I still use it for wedding photographs. 

Just occasionally I see the natural world with monochrome eyes. Today’s grey drizzly morning was one of those times when the lighter sand made patterns through the coal dust.
