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

 15th October 26, Cragside, 12 noon

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.

sandy nose

 3rd Oct 26, Buston, 9am

A beautiful sunny morning with fun in the dunes resulting in a sandy nose.

autumnal haiku

 29th September 26, Shilbottle, 7am

Fading to autumn 

Leaves lit by the morning sun 

As the seasons change.

Wayward Ruby

 28th September 26, Simonside, 8am

A lovely early run with Ruby mostly on the lead cos she's still learning not to be wayward.

One year old

Happy Birthday portrait for Ruby

waiting for the rain

 19th September 26, Alnmouth, 7:30am

I was meant to be heading to Scotland but the weather's much better here.  Scotland can wait for a bit.

boats and trees

17th Sept 26, Morpeth, 7am

An early run through the woods as they start to turn autumnal.

13th September 26, Amble, 8pm

After dinner at The Boathouse looking up and down the Coquet estuary.

en route to sunrise

 10th September 26, Howick and Embleton, 6:30am

On the way to Embleton for a video shoot but it seemed rude not to stop off for sunrise.

soft morning

 27th August 26, Rothbury, 9am

A soft morning with rain on the way but just a warm, hazy mist hereabouts.

light here and there

 23rd August 26, Hauxley, 6am

Not much of a birthday sunrise but subtle and gentle.

I loved the light through these trees just inland.

heather today, gone tomorrow

 22nd August 26, Rothbury, 9am

The heather is in full bloom even as the ferns turn to autumn hues.
