Ahead of the storm

7th June 2016, Newton Point, 4pm

A couple of nice days but this afternoon the storms rolled over from the West.

Looking threatening and impressive in equal measure the cloud loomed behind us. 
But silently and tamely it drifted by to the North.

at last - summer!

6th June 2016, Newton Point, 5pm

At last the summer reaches N Northumberland Coast!

6th June 2016, Bamburgh Castle, 10pm

As part of the planning for a new commission, I went to Bamburgh Castle to see where the sun sets at this time of year.  As we're nearly at the longest day sunset was 9:54 pm (and sunrise tomorrow is 04:33!)

Tonight the few clouds that picked up the sunset light were almost due N of the castle.

I couldn't resist this lonely 'lowry' figure walking their dog on the twilight beach though...

On the way back to the car after my sunset trip I came across these poppies. They'll look beautiful in the daylight but the light seemed very unusual at 10:30pm.

Brightness

4th June 2016, Dunstanburgh, 7am

Still that chilly N wind and grey skies but the sea thrift gives a patch of much needed brightness.

always changing

2nd June 2016, The Skaith, 6pm

A pleasant evening walk with some gaps in the grey.  Still the N wind persists and keeps the temperatures to very unseasonal single figures.

One of my favourite views - always different, always changing

sheltering

1st June 2016, Fallodon Woods, 7:30am

It feels more like 1st February than 1st June.

We looked for shelter from the rain and continuing strong N wind in the woods.  Daisy loves to watch a field through a gate...

1st June 2016, at home, 3pm

Also sheltering in its fluffed up feathers is this young collared dove.  Beautiful textures in the feathers up close.

grey days

26th May 2016, Newton Point 4pm

We got so wet this morning Daisy is still in her spare collar while the other one dries out.

Not much of a view from our usual viewpoint.

30th May 2016, Newton Point 5:30pm

It had been grey all day until finally the cloud all blew away and we had a lovely evening.  A nice end to a dreich bank holiday Monday

31st May 2016, Newton Point 4pm

Expect lots of photos of the wild flowers on Newton Point  They are beautiful again this year.

Now with added Daisy!
