windy rainy day.

The weather has been amazing for weeks, not bad for autumn/winter, beautiful clear sunny days and cold frosty nights.  But today as predicted by the weather service, it is rainy and windy.  The dog needed a walk and so we decided to go to the dog beach so she could sprint around in the weather.

 

 A rather lurcher photo heavy post, but she is so strong and amazing when she runs, it makes me laugh when she goes full pelt, it is something else.

all went well until some people turned up with a full team of Huskeys?! (we live in a rather un-snowy little town) who decided that poor Mollie (dog) looked rather interesting and it would be fun to chase her.  So off she went up the beach followed by about eight huskeys.  Poor thing was so scared, she can out run most things but they were big and there was lots of them, and I am afraid I didn't take any photos, as it looked rather good.  

Back home to dry clothes and a hot chocolate and a fire.  Lovely!

sea-side

This morning we went to the beach for a walk in the fresh sea air.  It was a little fresh, but the sun was shining, so we could climb on tree stumps and dig holes under big drift-wood trees on the sand all with a good mountain back-drop.

 The kids have a competition for a google logo at school at the moment, this was my contribution.  A bit shoddy on the quality control and finish.

When we were driving home we saw a little sea-lion ( it may of course be a seal so correct me if I'm wrong) swimming in the sea, we parked the car to take a better look.  The little sea-lion climbed out of the water and climbed up the sea-wall and had a sun-bathe. We kept looking out for killer-Whales in hot pursuit but none arrived.  It was really close to us and posed rather well for the camera.  I managed to focus better on the concrete wall than the seal lion unfortunately!
