At last - a bit of warmth!

We have had a spell of cold and disappointing weather. Sadly, May has not been a month that has come up to expectations. It is usually pretty good in Scotland. But, with one more day to go before we find ourselves in June and half way through the year, today was warm and sunny. Tilly and I went to the beach. It was heavenly with a wonderful sense of space, no-one around, gentle blue seas and a sky full of song from the skylarks.

Tilly had a dig in the sloppy-sloppy sand. You can just see North Berwick Law and the Bass Rock in the background.

And of course, the waves. Mesmerising as always.

As we walked back along the salt marsh there was a shimmering heat haze! Haven't seen one of those for a while.

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.
