Out and about for the longest walk in a while, thanks to improved weather and the doggo being a bit bigger.
Signs of spring in a buckthorn bursting with potential, and a tiny glimpse of the sun just as we turned for home #my400

Colour photo of fields covered in morning dew.  A post and wire fenceline crosses the foreground. Winter trees line the unseen small river at the bottom of the valley. Haze softens the fields and the hill beyond. The sun is rendered as a fuzzy white orb on the left, just above the horizon. A clear sky fades from blue to a Farrow & Ball grey; an idiosyncrasy of the phone camera. Clouds swipe lines, like a child's chalk marks on paper.

Photo of the back garden and hill beyond, just before sunrise. Garden is in shade, ponds reflecting the pale sky, and the trees are still in their winter attire. A light mist hangs over the valley beyond, casting the hill in pastel, with a pale golden outline. Thin pale orange clouds above peter out to a clear dilute blue.

Beach at low tide on a sunny day. Calm sea in the distance with a large rock on the horizon to the left. Cliffs on the far left. Stream in the foreground winds its way towards the sea. Back of an old yellow Labrador on the edge of the stream in the mid ground.

Waves crashing through a breakwater in a harbour. Walls and fences to the left, cliffs on the right in the background. Old yellow Labrador dog bottom right. Subdued wintry colours in flat light.

On this morning walk we went to the little beach. There was quite a swell! My dear old boy photo bombed but I'm grateful for every minute we have together #My400

Bare-limbed beech and hawthorn grown as a tall hedge are silhouetted against a bright blue winter sky with a bright sun shining 
The open fields are visible beyond the hedge and a close observer will be able to see the green hummock of the Lincolnshire Wolds, about three miles away across the Humber Estuary.

The garden's a tip, the windows need cleaning, I can't get out of the back door because all the cardboard boxes from Xmas and Young'un's 18th need taking to the tip, and it's probably going to pee down again tomorrow....
But look at this sky ☺️☺️☺️ #my400

Vehicle tracks lead to a gate between to stands of trees. The sun is in a blue sky with just a few whisps of cloud. Lens flare provides a stripe of pink at the top left, a green aperture  blob bottom right, with a small rainbow stripe and green dot just above.

An old iron sided bridge, with a concrete base leads to grassy fields beyond, and a hill capped with snow below a blue sky with light cloud streaks. Purple/pink blobs fan out above the sun like petals of a child's drawing of a flower, with hints of green in the foreground.

View across wintery fields, a post and wire fence cross the grassy field in the foreground, dry stone walls and treelines behind. Beyond, the hill is topped with snow, sky is cloudy and threatens more snow.

On the way out this morning
Sunshine today; a southerly wind has blown away the weekend's nasty roke.
Saw a kestrel and a sparrowhawk along the hedgerow (both male); the kestrel tilted over the roof of the car and skimmed into the open field, sparrowhawk glared from the top of a hawthorn #my400

A valiant attempt by the sun to break through the clouds this morning, but I think that's the most we're going to see for today.

From Tuesday morning - a big old trailer of muck given a glorious halo by the combination of bright winter sunshine and the huge clouds of steam it was generating 😁😁😁

A red-gold sun rises behind wintery trees.
The sky is gold and pink at the horizon, shading up to very pale blue

Yesterday's slightly ominous sunrise, heralding two solid days of rain.
Heigh-ho for waterproofs and wellies...

Early morning fields, track beside a fence leads to a stand if trees and a gate. Hazy hill beyond, with the sun trying to break through the clouds.

The view across the estate back to the village. A copse surrounds the duck pond,and another which shelters pheasant. A line of old oaks follows an old way on the left their shadows long across the field. The hills of the trough beyond are topped with light cloud, beneath more blue sky.

The field by the bridge, with its square bield. More sheep. More blue sky and low sun pushing through incoming white clouds.

I grew up on the North Yorkshire Moors and I miss the hills but by gum we get some good skies out here!

Sunrise over the fields around 7.35 - a table-flat, lowlying landscape with trees and pylons silhouetted in the distance.
The sky shades from flame yellow along the horizon up through deep pink to blue and purple at the top of the frame

About an hour later at the station 
The sun is shining golden, filtered by the cloud, behind a stand of trees along the edge of the railway line 
The bridge between the two platforms is steely blue

The walk home at around 8.45
The sky is now soft lemon, fading up to grey and white 
The grass beside the footpath and around the dyke is startlingly green.
An oak, a young ash and the start of a hawthorn hedge shade the footpath on the left. Their branches make an interlaced pattern across the sky.

Already done 6,700 steps.
Absolutely buggered 😁

At least it didn't rain! #my400
