Daisy watches the sea.

A bright afternoon but no-one else on the beach on account of the howling wind. Daisy didn't mind and enjoyed a good old run about.

temptation
3rd Sept10, Low Newton, 8am
It's interesting that a potential picture will appear in a place that you've walked past a thousand times. I'd not given this signpost a moments glance until this morning when it caught my eye.
A footpath sign set in a beautiful landscape, on a beautiful morning - inviting isn't it? Shame I have too much work on to take advantage as much as I (and Daisy) would like - I could have walked all day. Still it's not bad to be able to spend an hour on the beach.
Daisy's lurcher temperament is coming through now. She could walk for hours (if we'd let her) but a couple of flat-out runs chasing her new ball and she needs a lie down.

rafts
31st August10, Low Newton, 8am
Off for a circular walk with my client Valerie for a PhotoTrail training course. After 45 minutes we'd got around 20 yards but had nice pictures of these two bright subjects.
Later we came upon this little raft; beached at the edge of the skaith with a push it happily drifted along with its feather sails. Lovely work.
1st September10, Embleton Bay, 8am
Another training course on another cracking morning. It was 8C at 6:30 this morning but had warmed up nicely by 8am. I had to photograph another wee raft made by a visitor and sailing around on the skaith. There was a less impressive one nearby this morning so there's been a busy raft building family...
A lovely sight to watch the horses galloping through the water.
A few images on a similar abstract theme.
1st September10, Boulmer Steel, 1pm
I saw a programme about balancing stones on "Coast" on the BBC. This is the first one I've found and it was a thing to behold. Up close, the points of contact were vanishingly small. This must have taken hours, tremendous patience, steady hands and a zen-like state of mind.

vertigo
30th August10, Newton Point, 7 pm
A beautiful evening with warm light from the setting sun.
I ventured down on to the cliffs for this angle across the waves towards football hole beach. In the meantime Su took Daisy away to keep her from the cliff edge.
wind and wave
30th August10, Low Newton, 8 am
All day yesterday a North wind blew cold and brisk down the coast. This morning the sea didn't know what to do for the best as it boiled and raged; waves impotent in the face of a stronger force of nature. Onshore waves fought against a northerly swell and the Emblestone rocks were harried from each side. Meanwhile the wind whisked away the spray but not with yesterday's ferocity.

cloud and stone
28th August10, Embleton Bay, 7:30 am
Daisy's so sociable with other dogs that it's possible to take her to busy beaches. Not that Embleton bay is exactly busy at half past 7. We had 4 decent conversations with other doggy people and were out the house for ages!
28th August10, Howick Coast 4pm
Fantastic light as stormy clouds whizzed past on the breeze. As ever the light at "the golden hour" as the sun sets makes the Howick sandstone glow with warmth. The clouds show up best in black and white so here are a couple of each.
A classic view of Dunstanburgh Castle and the Bathing House in the evening light.

I Spy
27th August10, Newton Links, 8am
Daisy is such a tinker that I keep her on the lead until I can see what's on the beach first. Today there was an incongruous but tempting pile of clothes and a gentleman looking the other way in tempting shorts! We went North and she was able to run to her heart's content over the low tide sands. A beautiful morning and, considering it's a bank holiday weekend, one of the last times the beach will be this quiet for a few days.
