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.

What a lovely idea - and those swan feathers are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for thinking out of the box

ReplyDeleteI bet your birds are colourful though!
DeleteI too love feathers...collecting them on walks. Lovely sharp pictures and great light.
ReplyDeleteI love holding a feather as high as I can and letting a good stiff breeze take it, to fly just one more time! A
DeleteA beautiful collection of feathers - they look especially beautiful with that lovely light you've captures so well. Can almost feel the softness from here!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer! Welcome to the running wave! Amanda
