Swinsty Reflections

The last picture is actually a portrait shot of a fallen tree lying in the water, but rotated to landscape it looks like an upright tree.

Swinsty Reflections

There was a gunmetal grey sky when I was out walking on Monday which made for some lovely mirror like reflections in the surface of Swinsty reservoir.

It was a lovely afternoon's walk - until I slipped and smacked myself in the mouth with my own hiking pole which resulted in a trip to dentist to repair a broken front tooth.

Alnmouth Beach

This was back in August. Meg took me on a day trip to show me some of the places that her parents used to take her as a child.  Alnmouth beach is lovely, hard flat sand and lots of interesting rock pools, and a golf course on which you almost tee off from the sand.
