shs - yellow ? Hawkweed ?
| |
|
There was quite a lot of this in the dunes.
ID to follow - this is probably one of the extensive Hawkweed family.
shs - snail shell
| |

Found this shell in the marram grass in the dunes behind Seahouses beach.
If I can identify it, I'll edit ...
shs - by the dunes

The inland edge of the beach north of Seahouses is a narrow band of sand dunes, largely stabilised by marram grass. There are a number of narrow walking routes provided.
A very wet Ben - from chasing sticks in the sea - is coming back to fetch me, as I was delayed or maybe distracted by taking some more photographs.

shs - sitting patiently

Stick has shrunk as a bit of the old branch broke off.
Ben's not worried, he wants another chance to chase off into the water.
I'm not sure how much longer he'll sit there patiently ...
shs - Lighthouses !
| |
|
There have been a number of lighthouses on the Farne Islands since at least 1773, Trinity House now maintain the two lights still operational [ Farne & Longstone ]

Apologies that this isn't in really sharp focus, my little "point n shoot" camera really didn't like the view.
shs - a pause ...
| |
|
A somewhat soggy Ben hoping that I will lob his stick again. I will, Ben, I will, you just need a breather while I take this picture ...
shs - The Farnes

Looking out to Inner Farne, the rest are further out. Just a little further to the right, one of the trip boats is heading back to Seahouses.
Gentle waves lapping the sand on the beach (didn't realise that Ben had snuck into the frame !) and some very warm sun.
Quite a break from normal.
shs - Beach at Seahouses
| |
|
The beach, looking towards the northern edge of Seahouses, plenty of peaople but well socially distanced.
shs - shaking off some seawater
| |
|
After several swims, chasing the big stick, Ben has decided a good shake is in order. My shot missed the rainbow he produced.

Ben on his way back with the stick, just deep enough for him to enjoy the swimming.
[Something he hasn't done for many months]
