Nothing Interesting

It was nice to wake up to sunshine this morning after having spent a rather cold and wet Easter at Beverley, but apart from the weather it was nice to spend time with Cliff and Margaret, who are excellent hosts. My travelling companion was Cliffs’ brother Kenny who kindly did the driving. We were rerouted due to an accident on the A66 which took us through the north Yorkshire Dales which would have been very pleasant any other time but when you want to get from A to B quick as possible it was a bit of a bind. We arrived but unfortunately the weather made photography rather difficult.....

......but I did like this one of Beverley Market Place


It was my turn to fill the feeders at the moorland station this morning and Tootlepedal kindly accompanied me and after filling the feeders  we spent some time in the hide hoping for something interesting to come along, but as busy as it was nothing interesting came along. 







It was nice to see some frog spawn appear in the little pond that was created adjacent to the hide.

After lunch I took a run out locally to see if I could make use of the good weather and get some local landscape shots on the Sorbie road which connects the Ewes valley with Westerkirk.

These are the results

It's Raining Again

Shot  of the Day

The rain came down in almost biblical proportions today, maybe that's an exaggeration but it was very heavy and rose the level of the rivers to their highest in many years. 

This is probably my last blog of the year so I'll take this opportunity to wish all my readers where ever and whoever  you may be a happy and prosperous new year.

A Family Christmas

Shot of the Day

I have just returned from spending a wonderful Christmas with my family at Haddington. The highlight being able to share the joy on Christmas morning when Joe & Sandy opened the presents from Santa. 

After lunch on boxing day we went for a woodland walk. There were several settling ponds all covered with a thin sheet of ice. We all had great fun throwing stones and hearing the ice ping!
