Sunshine and showers

Today has been a day of sunshine and showers.  Rather more April than October.  I can do a lot of weather watching from my perch here in North Berwick, and this afternoon I have seen a multitude of greys in the sky, and another series of grey in the sea.  I used to hate grey.  It was the colour of my school uniform, but enough time has passed now that I can appreciate the complexity of the colour and its myriad of hues, and I love them all!
The Bass Rock is the subject of endless paintings, photographs and different art forms.  The classic view is of the Rock, white with 150,000 gannets (and gannet poo), set against a dark grey sky, as it was a few minutes ago.   
My zoom lens can just about show the haze of gannets, as they soar and wheel around the Rock.

    It looks like stars falling out of the sky and landing on the rock. Brilliant xx

    All stunning, we've had great weather down this way too but nothing as dramatic as your neck of the woods. x

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...

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.
