1 February 2014

The first day of February and already there are minuscule but perceptible changes in the length of the daylight hours, and this morning the sun had a little warmth in it at last.  Tilly and I went for a walk on Belhaven Beach.  It was beautiful, as always.  The tide was low just after nine o'clock and the fine weather had called to a number of dog walkers, parents with young children and about half a dozen surfers to come and enjoy the vast expanse of sand and the magnificent waves.  

This is where Biel Water runs out into the sea.
The photo above isn't looking sharp because it's water and not sky!  Very painterly and rather lovely I thought!  However the one below is the sky but taken by mistake!  My new camera takes photos all by itself!  If I touch the viewing screen it takes a snap!  So far they have all been deleted but I quite liked this one.

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
