one or two others

 22nd June 25, Embleton Bay, 8:30am

Pretty much the longest day and a lovely wander on my favourite patch.

There were one or 2 other folk around but that can be OK sometimes!

Patterns in the water and grasses suggested black and white textures.

goldilocks time

 19th June 25, Warkworth, 7am

The start of a few days of very warm weather.

It was just right for me at 7am.

and back we go

 14th June 25, Hauxley, 9am

After yesterday's brief summer, it was dreich and drizzly on the beach this morning.  It felt more like February than June but unlike February, there are colourful flowers to brighten the place up.

This week I shared an old slideshow of black and white photos for my Thursday night audience in Lucker.  

It’s where I started my photography in the school darkroom - developing and printing my own black & white photos - and I still use it for wedding photographs. 

Just occasionally I see the natural world with monochrome eyes. Today’s grey drizzly morning was one of those times when the lighter sand made patterns through the coal dust.

at last

 13th June 25, Bamburgh Castle, 4pm

At last a day that feels like summer.

old favourite

 9th June 25, Budle Bay, 8am

A beautiful walk around Budle Bay.  One of my favourite places to wander.

rains come

29th May 25, Morpeth, 7:30am

After 5 weeks of dry weather, the recent rain has greened up the woods nicely.

 29th May 25, Rothbury, 10am

Springtime things - fern fronds unfurl and rain and wind brings some of the brand new leaves down to earth.

May-bright

 28th May 25, Longhorsley, 7pm

An evening wander around the May-bright wild flowers of the community woodland and the old parish church.
