Early morning skies

I was awake early this morning, and although it looked a bit grey and cold outside, I thought a walk with Tilly, round a couple of fields, would be a good start to the day.  By the time we walked down the drive and out of the wood, the sky was clearing from the west.

 To the east, it was still dark grey, with the colour of the rising sun reflecting off the cloud.  I love the high, open skies of the east coast.  They give a wonderful sense of space.  I think they are very photogenic, and I couldn't choose which photos to show, so I've overdone it a bit!
This is the buzzard which patrols the drive and fields along the road between the village and North Berwick.  He was standing on the straw bales, enjoying the early morning sun on his back.  You can just see the glint in his eye!

    Brilliant sky photos and Mr Buzzard is surveying his paradise!
    Clouds change every day... even every minute! Clouds are cool! :-)

    Epic skies look like the prairies, we have lots of buzzards here too in fact I think they are some of our most common birds. I bore everyone in the car by shouting 'buzzard' excitedly whenever I see one but then for someone who grew up surrounded by pigeons in a city they are stunning, 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!

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, a lo

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage
