Colour!


When a walk by the sea offers only shades of grey disappearing into the west - the wall of Hopeman harbour, Burghead on its promontory, and the hills of the Black Isle, all under a fine, small rain - you take any colour you can get.



The green of these seaweed-covered rocks recalls the lush grass of May.

Below, a burn running down to the sea brings out lilac and mauve tones in the sand.



Orange lichen on ruddy sandstone rocks, with some beach art as a bonus.

    The green is magnificent! However, I think my favorite picture is of the beach art. The lines and the colors are amazing!

    Happy New Year!

    Thank you for stopping by my blog. I'm glad you did, because now I found your blog! I love meeting new friends from all over the world and seeing countries I may never see for myself. I'm now 'following' you and will be anxious to see more of beautiful Scotland, and if you would like to see more of the Rocky Mountains, and the spectacular red rock country of Moab, Zion National Park and so many more beautiful places in Utah, I invite you to 'follow' me as well. I'll be back to visit soon!

    It has been very grey here too! Strange, I don't like my own grey photos (I think every day ought to be sunny) but I enjoy those taken by others.

    What wonderful photos and colours! I found your blog through Texas Tales, and will certainly be back to have a look around at your take on life in Scotland. It's always a pleasure to discover a fellow Scottish blogger.
