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.

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.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
