Beach Huts & Blue Skies

We have had a couple of beautiful blue sky days and it has been wonderful to get out and about again.
I'm like a bear with a sore head when I can't get out with the camera and I have spent the last few days catching up on my walks.
It has also been perfect weather for the next set of photographs for the landslip survey in Swanage Bay. There is still plenty of movement in the cliffs and there are fresh slips happening very regularly, this is keeping the Coastguard busy.
The Swanage Coastguard blog is well worth a look to keep up with them

The Fox is getting a bit of a bad press lately, but it will always be a favourite of mine. Spending time with a wild Fox in its own environment is very special.

Chores For A Rainy Sunday.

Chores For A Rainy Sunday.
No walks today, as rain has stopped play, that means doing the jobs that I have been putting off! Yesterday afternoon was spent making mini canvases (more of that later), this morning I will be putting the picture hanging wire on the backs of the latest batch of A3 canvases.

More Journeys To Work

It seems like all of the best weather days are when I have to leave The Purbeck and go to work. This morning's sunrise was another beautiful one and it made leaving very difficult.

39 Steps....


...then have a breather and tackle the next 125!
Chapman's Pool to Houns Tout is one of the finest walks on the Purbeck.

Mind The First Step, It's A Biggy


Houns Tout is a very special place! On a beautiful clear blue sky day it is even better. From here you can see the Isle of Wight to the east and Portland to the west. As the crow flies, a distance of about 40 miles!

Quiet but never silent.

I missed the Sun this morning, not because I was late but because the early wander was done and dusted by the time the clouds cleared. When...
