weedy

 All the warm, dry weather has made the Skaith very weedy.  There is rain forecast for the weekend and that will clean out the water.

Daisy is like a coiled spring waiting for the back door to open and her walk to begin.

Low tide sounds, colours and textures.

There were a few people around.  You don't see them in my photos very often as I tend to seek the quiet places.

back to nature

After an intense couple of hours of dealing with the consequences of being 'cloned' on Facebook it was very good to get out into nature and the real world.  There is no shade out here though and the 'close' atmosphere and beating sunshine didn't help my headache.  I was glad to get home to the cool of our shady garden.

The warm, dry weather has really parched the grass of the meadow.

still hot...

The fine weather continues with 20C temps at 7am and a brightly shimmering sea.

After a walk round the golf course Daisy led the way down onto the beach.

Our soundtrack was Kittiwakes and the occasional sheep...

after the rain

After heavy rain last night the sea was calm there was no wind in the air and the raindrops hung precariously on the wildflowers.

The water was Caribbean-like

My feet find a track
Seeking sand between the rocks
Avoid slippy stones

The weather forecast says showery and there's a few spits of rain in the air.  Way out at the horizon there is a bit of rain falling

Daisy stood in the calm sea enjoying the coolness.
