This was our dog walk when we lived in Belford but it was the first time I'd run this route.  It was a bit adventurous over the rocks but nowt wrong with that!

I ended the month on 90Km total running.

little things

My favourite photo from 2 hours of wandering the coast on a PhotoWalk this morning was this little pair of harebells at the side of the path. 

After a while you start to notice everything in the world around you. It's a nice state of mind to find yourself in.

phones are OK

Interesting changeable weather for today's PhotoWalk.

Today was all about using phones for photography.

cool grey

Cool enough for a longer run along the sand to the cross and back inland.

photo fail

 21st July 2022, Low Newton, 10am

I was busy photographing these thistles when I heard a noise behind me. A beautiful deer had hopped out of the hedge a few feet away. 

He stood and watched me and I watched him. 

Eventually I remembered I had a camera in my hand and it was even switched on! By the time my slow brain got there he was heading off. 

I’ll never make a photographer

Some details of the wildflower strip at the edge of the field next to the village.

hot later

 19th July 2022, Boulmer, 7am

Up nice and early while it's relatively cool.  It was only 21C and breezy at the coast but I suspect it'll be back up to 34C later today.
