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.

    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!

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.

Coastal walk from Gullane to North Berwick

By the time I have walked about four miles, my toes are screaming at me - it's the arthritis, you see.  One of the joys of being that little bit older than I was.  However, for a long time, I have been keen to walk along the beaches, and follow the coastal path, between Gullane and North Berwick. So, having worked out the tide times, I decided today was the day, and off we went. Below is our starting point, the bay at Gullane.  It's a lovely beach, very popular with dog walkers. This is looking east, the direction Tilly and I were going to take. Looking back, up the Forth, the unmistakable bulk of Arthur's Seat, and Edinburgh's skyline, just clear enough to see. For most of the walk, there is the choice between wandering along a series of beaches, or following a path along the top of each. There's no denying it, at heart I am a shell-seeker.  I have loads of shells at home.  We lived on one of the out islands in the Bahamas for a just over a year, ...
