No better way to spend a sunny Saturday morning!

Another wonderful sunny morning, and there is no better thing to do than head for the beach!  

This is the last few yards of the path, through the sea buckthorn, which leads to the top of the dune.  I can already hear the sea, the waves breaking on the sand.
And here's the bit I love - reaching the top of the dune and having this wonderful view spread out before me!  It never fails to disappoint (I think I may have said that before, many posts ago!).
We exchanged a few words with these two - twin boys, aged about 13 I should think!  They were loving the beach, the waves, and the opportunity to paddle!
We walked on, around the headland, and back along the beach which looks across to Belhaven and Dunbar.
 The beach is shell central, thousands of little periwinkles,
and I think this may be the fossil of a tiny jellyfish in a red sandstone rock - only guessing!
 The fields of East Lothian are awash with tractors, carving deep furrows for potatoes.  Here's another!

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!

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.
