running out of nowhere

 30th Aug 24, Howick, 12 noon

It was a beautiful day for a run along the Howick path but it wasn't the sort of light I normally favour for photography.


At the end of the run I sat, and then lay, on the rocks enjoying the peaceful lapping of the very quiet sea.  This photograph was there waiting for me.

seeing seals

 17th Aug 24, Farnes, 7pm

A sunset cruise without much of a sunset and no puffins or guillemots left now.  Gannets galore, one tern and plenty of seals.

late summer fruits

 15th August 24, Rothbury, 10am

Throughout my Scottish schooldays August signalled the end of summer and it still has that feel. 

Today brings us rain after many pleasant sunny days. The forecast says summer will return but there's an autumnal feel to this damp August day with berries appearing and rusting vegetation slumped under the raindrops.

heather and sea

 3rd August 2024, Rothbury, 9am

High among the bonny heather coming into full bloom



6th August 2024, Newton Point, 5pm

A run along Embleton Bay and around the point on a beautiful evening.  I take a long break at the halfway mark on evening's like this.

roadside bonus

 2nd August 2024, Boulmer to Howick, 7:30am

An early start to avoid running in the heat of the day.

It's such a varied coastline hereabouts - it keep you interested as you jog along.




An unexpected bonus on the way home.  I was able to stop the car right by the field entrance and had luckily my wee camera in the car...

 1st August 24, Boulmer to Craster, 9am

A good long walk today.  10 miles there and back.
