My all-time favourite tree gets a rather different viewing today as mist mixes with sun to create this magical scene. (This Dovestones tree started my photographic hobby - it’s now a long story - see PiP ) As is usual with all my photos, best viewed full screen

A splendid spot, especially when one is alone with only the sound of birds and the odd splash as a fish jumps.

After a night of torrential rain, the day starts wet and very windy with gust up to 70mph. Anyway, not deterred, we took to the beach that we could see clearly form our lounge window. As you can see, with the wind blowing spume and sand everywhere - this was not for the feint hearted with an expensive camera kit in hand. Forgive the slight softness of the picture here, I had to wipe my lens a few times to rid salt water and sand :) About a mile of this walk before we gave up and retreated for coffee back in the warmth.

As the sun breaks through the mist here at the edge of Dove Stones reservoir, this new natural log seat is picked out by its strong colours. Much too cold and wet to sit here but it makes for another fine memory of this great moment. Enjoy large.
