A view from inside the 'Flock Sphere' sculpture by Rob Mulholland, part of the Amble Sculpture Trail in Northumberland, North East England. The artist describes this as an 'immersive' experience and I can vouch for that. Climb inside through a small opening and take in a different view of the coastal landscape – it's impressive!

Sun, Sea, and Scallops: Dawn in Amble
Out & About early to watch the sunrise at Amble’s breakwater. By some miracle of timekeeping, we reached our destination with scarcely a moment to spare, only to find that the most “pleasing” photographs were taken on the way, long before the appointed sunrise. Alas, we missed the so-called ‘blue hour’, that fleeting interval when the sky is supposed to take on an enchanting blue tint. ...
without preamble
we’ll take the time to amble
and then we’ll gambol
When memories are
all that's left life's wandering
might reach to it's end

THAT UNIVERSAL TRUTH
Surprised by the desire
For once not to rush, the
Ambitious young poet,
Always on the search for
Another universal truth,
Slows his pace to match
His sister’s sedate carriage.
They #amble now, through
Trees and bushes, until they
Reach the edge of this
Stilling wood, and the air
Motionless, and in front
Of them that carpet of yellow,
The hovering single cloud, the
Hoarse rushing of the sea
In the distance, and peace
At last.

just being
a hedgehog, snuffling
ambles through leafy hands
without spectacles or plans
unlike me, never scrambling

#amble through the woods
and leaves crunch beneath my feet
apples and chestnuts
Tam isn't one to #amble her way through the mall, but today was different. There were fewer people to navigate through. In fact, there was no one at the mall today on this bright 10 AM day. Not even a security guard strolled past her. It was rather nice.
I #amble through the park as the sun illuminates an autumnal scene. Rudbeckias and asters still buzz with bees. The air is cool. It smells fresh, spicy. For a moment, I forget the pain in my foot, the strains, and the distance between us.

My train trip to Northumberland (via London for a work reunion) brought me Sandwich, Little, Arctic, Roseate Common and Black Tern (unfortunately not Bridled) along with Puffin. Had a great time.

As people elsewhere in the UK discover Northumberland as a place to holiday and live, the beautiful northern coastline spreads south, absorbing the old pit villages as it goes. It's gentrified the old fishing port of Amble, which 15 years ago was a tough place, with no investment and a disaffected population. It's now thriving - without having been destroyed. We had our last walk of the year around the harbour, which still thrives as a fishing port. #Amble #Northumberland
