Sunny Sunday afternoon walk

Another lovely sunny February Sunday.  A good day for a walk, following the same route as a couple of weekends ago.  The same trees, the same rocks, the same sea - all the same component parts, but always seen differently.
Here, looking across to the surf rolling in on to the beach at Belhaven, and to Dunbar beyond.
There is a great place to sit on the small headland on this piece of coastline.  Today we sat and watched the waves building, out to sea, working their way towards the rocks where they crashed and threw their spume into the air.
Walking back from the beach, in the wood, there are the remains of old iron fencing and kissing gates, which would have been part of the Tyninghame estate.  I expect ladies and gentlemen, elegantly dressed would have strolled, or ridden, along these ways, passing through these gates.

  1. Great photos, they really zing and those enormous waves are amazing! It's been a fab weekend here too, lots of sunshine and felt quite warm too. We went for a clifftop walk past massive granite boulders and ivy clad ruins, the sunshine made us feel so elated. I reckon it's set us up for the week, have a good one too. Antonia x

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
