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.

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

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

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.
