all too brief

23rd April 2020, Warkworth, 8am

What used to be happy days are now happy moments.



Do you see blissful solitude or painful loneliness or maybe a bit of both? When someone else’s life passes close to mine* I always wonder about their life, their story and their thoughts as they walk up the beach.

misty wanderings

19th April 2020, Longhorsley, 7am

A lovely combination of sunlight and mist early this morning.

It was nice to have time to wander with the camera while the dogs sniffed about.

too hot?

15th April 2020, Buston, 7am

Another short hop to the coast. If I walk round the village fields I meet at least a down other people.  Here I'll meet no-one.

There was not a cloud in the sky and they say it could be 19 degC today!  (that's like summer around here for foreign readers)


Daisy dipped her paws to cool off


From various spots up in various dunes I've photographed this view a lot of times. I always debate whether to have the sea in focus or the grass.



sand flowers that I left for the next walker...


We hung about for a bit but it's not really the thing to do right now (despite there being nobody else here).

waves and sun

14th April 2020, Warkworth, 7am

Just a short hop from home but due to the restrictions this only my 2nd trip to the beach with Daisy for 3 weeks.




The bright sun was shining across the sea and outlined the beautiful shapes described by the waves. From where I stood on the beach, the light was catching sea spray as it flew up from the breakers right in front of distant Coquet Island.





From a perch higher in the dunes the lighthouse rose above the waves for different compositions.







Plenty of social isolation hereabouts.



Heading for home again (a bit reluctantly)
