chippy treats

Walkies on the beach followed by fish n chips and another quick walk round the pier on a beautiful afternoon.

silver morning

It’s a beach but it’s not the sea 

Looking over the river to the sea in the distance 

All the shades of silver this morning

Daisy wasn't in the mood for a photo so kept her eyes shut.

sea and sand and sky

We were there at low tide so there were sand bars and pools of water on the sand.

The beach is different every day and today it was all about huge rafts of small pieces of driftwood.  I've not seen so much driftwood before.

I made a montage of some driftwood pieces.  Firstly on the beach au naturel...

...then I had a go back home on photoshop.  I'm not sure which I prefer.

A view of the beach from a higher place. There are times in all our lives when we have to leave the security of the sand and wade through choppy waves until we reach the calm water where we can find peace.

This post is dedicated to the memory of Jill Racenis who, alongside her husband Rob,  loved Northumberland and was a regular visitor to this blog when she wasn't here in person.

My attempts at being arty were photobombed by a curious Daisy.

quietly does it.

Very quiet.

It took a while for this morning's atmosphere to sink in so that I could find a photograph this morning.

A bit of work took me up to Embleton today so I took the chance for a run along my old stamping grounds.  It was lovely to see the bay after so many months.

We were dodging showers as they passed by out at the horizon
