nothing to do

21st March 2019, Howick, 8am

Warm enough for Daisy to have a plodge in the sea.  Then we needed a rest in the sun...

I had nothing in my diary until this evening so why not.

Migrating Whooper swans

changing waves

18th March 2019, Embleton Bay, 7:30am

A reflective morning on the wet sand but it was the light on the waves that caught the imagination this morning.

There were calm moments between each burst of huge waves.  The tireless breakers rolled and crashed and the vista across the bay changed every second.

part of the pack

16th March 2019, Boston Links, 5pm

Gorgeous late afternoon sunshine on the beach wandering with the family of dogs...

Daisy loves being part of this pack.

Down on the windy beach this afternoon I couldn't resist getting down to ground level to photograph these perched pebbles. You can see the sand flying...Hopefully the camera will survive!

We walk towards the rising sun
every step leading us onwards.
Among a thousand footprints
our path winds its way.
Together we'll see
what lies around the corner.

on the mend

We had an almost normal walk and daisy wanted to play for the first time in several days.

She was still holding up her paw but obviously getting better.

Back again with a group from HPB Lucker Hall.  Fiercely windy but a lovely energising walk with lovely people.

bring it on

Britain is being battered by 'storm Gareth'

If this is bad weather, then bring it on!

Daisy's sore paw is well enough to get her to the beach but after a few yards she stopped and would go no further...

It was a nice place to sit for a while...

Lowry Landscape

9th March 2019, Embleton Bay, 10am

A day of silvery sea and sand against an inky black sky

It is a quest of mine to try and find a photograph that evokes the style of LS Lowry.

I think this one is the closest I've come.

These Exmoor ponies seem to be in a huff with each other...

birds and waves

8th March 2019, Embleton Bay, 7am

Sunrise is well before 7am now but when we got to the beach there was still colour in the sky even though the sun was clear of the horizon.

The gulls were playing with the morning waves.
