No more snow. Bit frosty first thing. Otherwise fine.
I must be getting better. Instead of washing bits of me at the sink I managed to perch on the bath shelf and do the whole body in one go. It did take me a while to get my breath back to normal......
This afternoon I was off to the Prom and got out of the car.
The high tides recently, wild seas and strong winds have reshaped the bay at Fraserburgh.
These rocks have now covered the beach where most of the pushchairs go down onto the beach. No go now.
The sand has been moved onto and off Dunes.
Sand also on the grass areas .
The Gull Gang were paddling .
Do not often see Oystercatchers swimming, but these had no choice as the waves came in.
A more 'normal' picture (and one to paint!)
And a wee Redshank.
Back home and into the shedudio.
Sith cat who is a male by the way! Watching the birds. The sun is on him showing his 'rusty' bits.
A painting begun of Balaclava Bill, the Grey Seal, who lives in the harbour. Well fed by the fishermen. Yawning.
Nature provides us with such wonderful sights.
Weather gone silly! Just down the road from us they had snow, not forecast by either amateur (Windy Wilson who I follow on fb) nor the Met Office. Here - glorious sunshine.
It being Sunday the beach and the esplanade were packed. The Redshank were sunbathing. Just look at the colours of the rocks. Beautiful.
It was high tide. So not much beach.
As you can see from this shot above where I am walking up the Path of Doom between the dunes.
Some of the Redshank went food hunting as the tide came in.
The Stone Sculptor is back. I actually watched him doing another. But by the time I saw him I was back in the car and the chariot packed away and it was beyond me to get out. The strange thing was he placed a rock on top of another and just sat as if he was welding the rock to the other with his mind. Something to look for tomorrow.
And finally just a wee bit more Redshank. This is from a photo taken by the Dawn Patroller some time back. It is called Shelter.
Dont you just love their red shanks.
Another beautiful day.
I went for my walk this morning.
Bird watching as usual. Good excuse when hanging over the railings getting control of breathing. If I take the camera out I dont get asked , "Are you alright ?" It is lovely that people ask. But when it isn't necessary, they see the camera and don't worry !
So above you see a Redshank in the water taken yesterday. Then it is a case of spot the Redshank on the rocks by the caravan park. (Clue look left.)
In the afternoon I was attacking the work in progress pile and - at last - drum roll - the first of 2017 completed.
