It was her first holiday and first trip to the seaside. She was not at all sure about the sea at first!

Visited my favourite Packhorse Bridge (HER entry number 1021023) near Cray this weekend. It really is something quite special. It's hidden away on an old packhorse route adjacent to the River Wharfe and her cascading waterfalls, crossing Crook Gill as it feeds the Wharfe via its very own waterfall.
Picture of a mossy and overgrown low stone Packhorse Bridge crossing a fast flowing brownish Crook of water Picture showing a large and powerful waterfall emerging from a slit between two gray walls of rock. The white foam of the rushing water hits a large pool of brownish water with green mossy stones lining the scene

Thanks Mamady 😀 It's a great spot, especially in the Spring, there is about 12Km (8miles) of beach... at this time of year most of it is cordoned off to protect the breeding Grey Seals.

Two Border Terrier dogs on a sandy beach on a sunny August day. It is Embleton Beach, Northumberland. They are both looking into the distance in the direction of the blue sea. In the distance are the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. The sky is blue with some fluffy white clouds.

Well that was rather stunning! (Both the rainbow and the freezing cold downpour that followed it a few seconds later! 😱)

The close-up shows leaves covered in frost and curled up. Fine white ice crystals cover the edges and surface of some leaves, especially the front, curled leaves. The background is blurred and consists of more dried-up, brown and yellowish leaves.

Shot from the top of the dunes facing South along the coast towards Great Yarmouth. The tide has receded exposing a wide expanse of sand fringed on the left by pounding waves and by the high dunes on the right. On the horizon the tall towers of the Scroby Sands windfarm dot the horizon Black and White. Shot from the top of the dunes facing South along the coast towards Great Yarmouth.

An iceberg sits in the surf at the Vestri-Fellsfjara beach at Jökulsárlón. Eventually the waves will destroy it and it will become just little pieces of ice. I love the transience of this place, but also love knowing that more icebergs will wash up with the next tides in its place...

A turquoise iceberg with lots of holes in it and jagged areas on its surface sits on a black sand beach with a white wave around it. In the distance is a small wave breaking - the water looks dark green.

A wide, vibrant sunset sky filled with streaks of pink, orange, purple, and blue clouds, spreading outward like soft brushstrokes above a dark tree-line silhouette and a shadowed open field.

They laid down their lives not only for Ukraine but for all of Europe!

RIP - Dmytro Rostovtsev, Artem Horshchoruk, Lebanese fighter Ahmad Omar Al-Aaila Zakaria, Daniil Semenenko (29),

Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free.
