reflecting on a warm September

30th September 2014, Beadnell Bay, 6pm

As September 2014 leaves us, we've not had much in the way of autumn coolness. A couple of days of 8 deg in the morning but this evening it's 20 degC + and the light is beautiful.

As we walked up we saw our little egret on the Long Nanny again.  They breed at Druridge Bay but they're spreading N and I'm sure the warm weather helps.  Yesterday I saw around 100 swallows on a phone wire - I fancied they looked very confused and argumentative as to whether it was time to leave or not.

same time, different beach

27th September 2014, Embleton Bay, 7am

Another beautiful sunrise so we went to a different beach - The Skaith on Embleton Bay is my favourite location...











Up into the dunes for autumn colours and golden light on a creosote hut...

We met Elly the border collie pup.  She's in a great home with a future in agility and working trials - happy dog!

Many faces

21st September 2014, Embleton Bay, 9am

Ben and Wayne's training course and we tried to find different angles on the sandcastle...







The ferns and grasses were whizzing around in the wind but this is a trick shot for fun.


22nd September 2014, Low Newton, 6:30am

gentle colours reflected on the sand at first...


Daisy's new flashing collar was useful to keep track of her at the start of the walk but soon the sky got brighter...

4 Daisy faces while we relaxed on the sand

sunrise days

8th September 2014, Beadnell Bay, 6:30am

A beautiful dawn reflected on the beach


10th September 2014, Low Newton, 7am

The sunrise was OK, nothing special, and then a spectacular ray of light shot up through the clouds


10th September 2014, Newton Point, 4pm

Is this an Indian Summer? The summer's never stopped - it just seems to have gone and on and on...


Daisy had some BBQ charcoal in her mouth. It probably tasted of sausage fat!


Daisy and Grace. Legs-a-go-go with Grace's new poodle-cut.


11th September 2014, Football Hole, 6:30am

Another misty sunrise. I found myself imagining this as a subject Van Gogh could have painted beautifully. I think the waves remind me of his brushstrokes.

Friday 5 September 2014

autumn comes around

5th September 2014, Embleton Bay, 6am

The mist sat low over the sea for the 2nd day in a row. The sunrise was hidden from view...


...but then there was a 2nd dawn as the sun rose out of the fog and into the watery sky above.




There was an autumn feel to the morning with the mist the turning ferns all around. (As I write this afternoon it's back to summer.)

360 degrees of evening

30th August 2014, Embleton Bay, 5pm

High on the dunes watching the last of the visitors leave the beach to the beautiful evening light.





31st August 2014, The Rat, Anick, 1pm
Sunday lunch in the sunny beer garden - Daisy likes Sunday lunch


31st August 2014, Beadnell Bay, 7pm

Evening walk up to Long Nanny and back - the light was beautiful all round.
