30th Sep 24, Embleton Bay, 9am
In a couple of weeks I'm presenting a talk on the WW2 defences that remain on Embleton Bay.
I wandered up to the anti-tank blocks today in case anything new had been uncovered by recent high tides.
There was nothing new but I love this date of "4th Aug 1940" written by a finger in the wet cement 84 years ago.
28th Sep 24, Warkworth, 4pm
Greens and autumn browns in stark contrast to the morning's beach
28th September 24, Warkworth, 9am
After a showery day of strong gales, all was quiet today although the sea was still full of waves.
18th September 24, Shilbottle, 7am
A misty sunrise in the village.
Back down the hill and back down into the mist for a stunning moment made from mist, trees and sunlight.
17th September 24, Craster, 9am
I recommend an early start for a visit to Craster. I was leading a group of walkers but I arrived in time to soak up the atmosphere of a calm, early morning by the sea.
By the time I was back in the village a couple of hours later it was packed with visitors and the atmosphere of the morning was long gone.

Footseps in the sand
14th September 24, Alnwick and Boulmer
It's the McMillan Mighty Hike today so I dropped Lucy off by Alnwick Castle then headed to Boulmer with the dogs.
It's a promising start to the day...
10th September 24, Buston, 3pm
An early finish at work due to the high winds gave an opportunity for a rare, relaxing wander with my camera. It was good to return to some favourite themes of figures, waves and simple compositions.
7th September 24, Rothbury, 8am
Another misty day but this time I headed into the mist to see what I could see.
Under the mist it felt very autumn but it was warm enough to still be summer.
6th September 24, Warkworth, 7:30am
After an early run to the airport, I was up nice and early for a change
It was misty everywhere but I took a gamble that the mist might burn off at the sea first.
Lucky guess!
