exploring the morning

 30th Oct 26, Shilbottle, 7am

I thought I’d go and look at the sunrise from the village fields but a dark bank of sea fret obscured the sun. 

In the bright skies above, a single gull explored the morning.

still leaves

 26th Oct 26, Morpeth, 8am

Glad to see there's plenty of autumn leaves left on the trees after the weekend's storms.

wind and waves

 25th Oct 26, Warkworth, 9am (GMT)

This morning's sea view
Waves are flattened by the wind 
But spray flies brightly 

The spray was tempting for photographs. Every wave different. 

I even fancied a bit of black and white and then the sun came out and it was then all about the colours.

before the coming storm

 24th October 26, Buston, 9am

One storm went through yesterday and another is due this afternoon and tonight.

Meanwhile the time before the coming of the storm is very pleasant indeed.  All is calm and tranquil.

autumnal thoughts

Autumn approaches

From evergreen foliage

Blossom now long gone

up early

14th October 26, Shilbottle, 7am

Worth getting up for a walk round the village.

 12th October 26, Cragside, 2pm

Around our favourite Cragside spot but despite the fallen leaves it's not quite autumn yet...

The roots of a silver birch tree are beautiful colours.

autumn draws the eyes

 8th Oct 26, Embleton Bay, 2pm

A thoroughly enjoyable photo training session with a visitor to Northumberland.

My eyes were drawn away from Dunstanburgh castle to the colours of the turning ferns.
