spots and tufts

 22nd June 26, Hauxley, 4pm

And so the year rolls on and this is the first six-spot Burnet moth I've seen.  This time on tufted vetch.

solstice eve

 20th June 26, Alnmouth, 6pm and 10pm

The evening before the longest day and solstice.  Around 6pm all was calm and deep blue.

By 10pm, it was still broad daylight with a pinkish hue of twilight that will linger for a few hours yet.

northern sun

 13th June 26, Warkworth, 7am

Nice and early to the beach.  I'm not often here this early in the summer and I noticed the sun was well north of east after all, we're just 10 days from solstice.

Beach patterns and reflections and a happy, sandy schnoot.

rainy castle days

 3rd/4th June 26, Bamburgh Castle, 

Recent rainy day photography at Bamburgh Castle. 

Everyone heads for the state rooms to stay dry but then they take to the battlements to watch the showers disappear out over the sea.

fishing

 30th May 26, Newton Point, 9am

In among the wild flowers of the Newton Point hay meadow for a 1:1 photo training session. Lovely to wile away some time with a camera and good company.

"Photography is about the fishing, not the catching" but sometimes you make a decent catch.

sunny here

 18th May 26, Howick, 9am

Beautiful morning with showers passing inland and leaving us in sunny peace.
