Wiblog - Paul's Wibblings

We wandered down to Nairn East Beach this afternoon with the dogs. Another lovely sunny day, although a lot colder with frost on the sand(!) but no wind so you didn't really feel it in the sun.

Having taken my photo of the day I was closing the blinds of the sun room and saw this so an extra bonus photo today.

A busy day today but it was so nice that I took time out to walk down to the beach with Jack and sat in the sun while I took this in very clear air. North Sutor opposite is about nine miles away and Petroatlantic is about half way across. As you can see the Moray is pretty much flat calm.  read more ...

It's Jessie's turn to pose. She's far more willing to sit still. But just look at the EXIF data for this photo: yup that's taken at a fifth of a second. This α7II makes taking shots that slow far too easy (although to be fair this is the sharpest of nine and some were badly blurred).

Up here gorse takes the place of hawthorn as the first flowers to appear in the hedgerow in Spring. It's just starting to come out and is apparently very early this year.

As it was a nice day (and mild, 10°C, in January!) we took a wander up Cnoc Fhaoighris on the north side of the Cromarty Firth to visit the Fyrish Monument.  read more ...

Migraine today so in the absence of work I wandered down onto the salt marshes with Jack and found this log.
