Springwatch

I've been watching spring creeping up on a view I rather like on one of our walks.  It captures the corner of a garden, where it juts out into a big field.  I've enjoyed watching it turn from various shades of brown, to the greens and pinks of young new leaves and blossom of springtime.

On 3 April,
24 April, 
and today, 9 May.

  2. Yes, they are lovely! Yesterday's photo was taken in a different sideways light, late afternoon, so it makes the colours a bit sharper. May must be the most beautiful month of the year.

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, ...
