Seaside

Goodness me, the beach was a busy place this afternoon!  


This morning the weather was dire.  More grey skies, rain, and the air was unseasonably cold. More like Melbourne in winter!  However this afternoon in our little corner of Scotland the skies cleared and the sun shone down.  This clearly winkled a reasonable number of people out of their homes and by the time Tilly and I got to the beach there was all sorts of stuff going on.  Take a look.


I think this chap was trying to kite ski.  There wasn't really enough wind but full marks for trying!
A mum on the ever-present mobile.  
A driftwood installation.
Actually there were two.
Fishermen, of course.
Seaweed.
A beach party.
A surfer.  The waves weren't that big but he was persistent and caught a few.
A guy with a paddleboard who eventually went out to sea quite a long way, considering the size of the board.  No great whites in our part of the world, thank goodness!
Tilly did a spot of digging.
There were others poking about in rock pools, some just standing and gazing out to sea, a few real walkers and a handful of people like me wandering along, enjoying the sight and sound of the running waves.  Lovely.

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!

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.
