The Tracks
It would appear I have two left feet!

Probably best not to know what flows down this pipe…

The Cave and the Libyan Sea
Join me in a cave close to the Libyan Sea in Crete. The cave was a natural echo chamber. Listen to the waves breaking and the echo as the sound of the waves bounced around inside the cave. You will also hear me tramping about in the cave. There was no sand but plenty of gravel underfoot.
The Stream Meets the Sea
Join me on the beach at Portsoy, Scotland where the stream that flows down from the hills crossed the beach and flows into the sea.

The View Over The Water…

The Fisherman
The Nimble Fisherman
The Hole Maker
It’s my hole and I’ll dig if I want to!
The Houses on the Clifftop
The Rock Pool Diaries (5): The rock pools at low water…
Probably the best time to visit the beach. When the tide is out, all is revealed!
The Rock Pool Diaries (4) – The spinach seaweed…
Again, this seaweed probably has a proper name…but it looks like spinach to me!
The Rock Pool Diaries (3) – The tagliatelle seaweed…
It probably has a proper name but it looks like tagliatelle to me!
The Walk on the Beach
The Rock Pool Diaries (2) – The colourful rocks…
Colorful if you’re in the US! Rocks in the bottom of rock pools here in Banff, Scotland. Wonderful colours and plenty of sea snails hiding between the rocks.
The Rock Pool Diaries (1) – The Moonscape!
It looks like the surface of the moon but I think (but don’t know) that these little critters who live on the rocks down on the beach are barnacles. Somebody will, I’m sure, correct me if I am wrong.
The Rock Pool Day
I have a 100mm lens that I hardly ever use but I took it for a spin on the beach today and took photographs in the rock pools when the tide was out. And so, get ready for the rock pool and dog series!
The Guilty Dog (previous post)
Here’s the little scoundrel, as ever, looking pleased with herself. No shame!
The dog in shot…
It was going to be a photograph of some interesting shells that were stuck to the rocks on the beach. Then Katy, our dog, stepped into shot. She is no appreciator of my artistic endeavours!
The Dead Slow Sign
Straighten up and fly right!
The Patterns
You could go to an art gallery and pay a fortune of course but nature makes some interesting patterns – all for free, ever-changing and always wonderful.
The Puddle Jumper
The view from the bench (see last post)

The ‘Stay Safe’ Message
The message somebody has written in the sand reads ‘Stay Safe + heart symbol.’

The Birth of a White Horse
The Dog and the Rabbit Hole
PS: Our dog has never caught a rabbit (and so she ain’t no friend of mine – ha ha ha!)
The Clockwork Orange Legged Sea Chicken
They really are like little wind-up toys!
The Rock Dog
Our dog, Katy ( fries stabij), searching for tennis balls lost by other people in amongst the rocks on Boyndie Beach, near to Banff, Scotland. Finding tennis balls has become something of an obsession for our dog.

The big sea, the little surfer…
The sea really is very big…

The Patient Rock
It occurred to me that this Scottish rock has been waiting patiently for, perhaps, millions of years for me to happen along with my camera. I can’t help wondering if anyone else has ever photographed this particular lump of broadly unspectacular but colourful rock. It is a bit of a geological jigsaw puzzle…
The Coastal Defences (2)
It takes more a little more than a King Canute type approach to hold back the tides and the sometime furious seas here in Banff, Scotland. Ironically, we have a number of politicians about us these days who think they have supernatural powers – but, it turns out, like Canute – they do not!! It is quiet clear (especially from the image below) that, thankfully, our coastal defences are more effective and in much better shape than the grubby crop of duplicitous politicians we have to put up with these days…
The Coastal Defences (1)
Serious coastal defences needed in Scotland where the wind surely blows…..
The Four-Paw-Drive Dog
Katy needs four-paw-drive to get through some of the fast-flowing, mountain-fed, streams here in Scotland…
The Pipe
The Scottish Orange Legged Chicken
The chickens here in Scotland seem to be well-adapted to living in the shallows where they dig up worms and other tasty morsels. Some of the Scottish chickens even fly!
The dog on the rocks…
Katy enjoying her new home in Scotland. Long walks along the beach overlooking the Moray Firth…
