Christening my new camera

My trusty Lumix Panasonic camera has been getting a little weary in the past few weeks.  I think it needs a service, and it will be well-earnt!  In the meantime, I can't imagine life without a camera to snap my photos with, and I am going to be away for a week soon, and so I have rather over-reacted to the situation, and bought a new camera!  

 I christened the new Lumix during a visit to North Berwick today.  The first photos have to show waves, of course, and there was also a line of washing, blowing in the wind, near the harbour. I've seen clothes billowing there before, dancing and drying in the fresh sea air.

    It looks as though there was a good old wind blowing there - and that washing is either going to dry fast or get carried away! Are you enjoying the new camera? (Actually, you've just reminded me to put my camera on charge, as I am going out for the day tomorrow and there will be photo opportunities, I'm sure.) xx

    I love that line of washing! There is usually one there when I visit NB! Great place to dry the laundry. Yes, the new camera seems to be very good, thank you. It's another 'point and squirt' job because I couldn't possibly undertake anything more complicated, but I get the photos I want, most of the time, so that's fine by me! Every time I go out without the camera I see something that warrants a photo! Last night we went out for dinner and there was the most incredible sunset I have ever seen! A dark grey flattened doughnut of cloud, with a thin line of pink running around the underside, little puffs of bright pink cloud above and around it, the beach at Belhaven was pink where the sky reflected on the wet sand, the waves were coming in, in big beautiful white crescents, and North Berwick Law sat in the distance, with a purple and pink sky around it, and a lick of mist across in front, at ground level. It was just extraordinary! And where was the camera? At home. Typical!!! I hope you have a lovely day out today. The sun is shining here, and its beautiful. I think I will head for the heather-clad hills for a walk this afternoon. A 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, ...

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...
