Weathering the summer
We talk a lot about the weather here! Whilst folks in the US are keeping out of the heat, we are sloshing about in wellies and reading about streets becoming rivers and homes being under feet of water. Fortunately that hasn't happened to us although we would like to see some sun! The sunflowers we planted with the GCs are only about 10cm high, so the competition for the highest sunflower may be off!
These pics were taken at Blyth when there was a thick sea mist; it was rather strange to walk on the beach and hear the waves but not see them. Hope you are having good weather wherever you are!

Each one of these images is stunning! I had no idea your summer was such a wet one. We are in winter here....
ReplyDeletethe fog always creates a magical landscape you've captured in these stunning photos beautifully, thanks Judh!
ReplyDeleteJust going to pop my woolies on - chilly and damp, Jill
ReplyDeleteGetting hot and sticky here in Latvia. You can always take a holiday here to see some sun, although judging by past performance most folks pick the rainy weeks :oD
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! That mist looks cool and refreshing, it's been super hot and dry here.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos, especially the one of the long pier. They remind me of the coastal ports here in Canada. We are having wonderful weather this July with lots of sun and warmth compared to the last few years. We seem to get enough rain showers to keep things growing nicely too. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteI love your moody shots - there's nothing quite like a British summer to bring a bit of drama to a photograph. I especially like your 2nd photograph will that mist in the background.
ReplyDeletelove the sea mists when you get a structure disappearing into it eh! Hope there's no flooding your way.
ReplyDeleteReal nice shots my friend, the boats looked like Scarboro,lol.
ReplyDeleteSadly it's wet here too but we're not flooded so we can't complain. Your photos are artistically and actually beautiful and create the atmosphere completely.
ReplyDeleteWonderful perspective on these.
ReplyDeleteIt's been unusually hot for an extended time here and the yard is beginning to turn brown already.
I do love your shots, they are so interesting and tell exactly what the weather is all about. As I traipsed in the mud through wimbledon common yesterday I did wonder if we might all end up with trench foot this summer! hey ho, what can you do about the weather but laugh!
ReplyDeleteSunny seaside shots are two a penny, Julia, but these misty, moody, perspective shots are so atmospheric and wonderful, and much to be preferred, in my opinion! Just gorgeous, as usual!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog - I am pleased with how the card turned out (love using alcohol inks - so vibrant!) and I think our friend will be pleased because it's a little while since the funeral and most of the correspondence will probably have dried up by now. It's this post-funeral period that's the most difficult, I think, and it's good to let them know we are still thinking about them! I had such happy memories of the man while making the card, so fresh in my mind! He was amazing, and such a character.

Thanks for your lovely comment, Julia - so glad you like my latest effort so much! I was amazed how it all came together, making the sentiment before I remembered about the other bits lol! Duh - brainfog! Really want to do some more of the faux porcelain - amazing fun.
