Fathers Day Walk
I was up and out for my walk on Sunday before my kids even surfaced. In fact I think I was back before they surfaced 🙂
A great morning for a dander along the coast.
Early morning sun behind the Beech trees.
Iris sea view.
Maggie showing her disrespect for the law 🙂 Smudge is already look past this. My excuse was that the dogs can’t read !!
Beach party tricks 🙂
‘Venture’
Thought I’d share this little video made by my son at Northern Ireland Film School.
Titled ‘Venture’, it encourages you to get out and about and enjoy nature. Those who follow my blog will recognise a few of the places from my walks.

Floodgates in the Wind
I had my first walk in 8 weeks on Sunday. I badly sprained my ankle back in January and I’ve not been able to enjoy my usual walks. I decided to give it a go on Sunday and picked the Floodgates in my home town along the edge of Strangford Lough. It was a touch windy but a nice day. I think I over did it with my ankle but I’m glad I went. Note the blackthorn in full flower!
Winter Walk
Low Winter sun over Strangford Lough on Sunday.
Trees down in the recent high winds. The Park chaps did a quick job of finishing them off. I think this was 5 mature beech down.

Redburn Walk
Another Beech Wood walk today, this time at Redburn, overlooking Belfast. It was all yellows and browns and as usual I found a few Fungi too.
Nebari!

Yellow colour lost though lens sadly
Yesterday’s Walk
It’s been a while since I posted any photos of my ritual Sunday walk, mostly due to the fact that I do the same walks frequently and there is only so many things you can snap. I don’t get time to stop and get the set up right either, my big bro sets a fast pace and I’d get left behind 🙂 Therefore any snaps I take are pause and shoot and jog to catch up again.
Yesterday, we did an old favourite, Sawmills at Crawfordsburn Road to Helens Bay and on to Bangor marina, about 8 miles I think. I did take a few just to capture what was a great morning, a nice frost on the ground and some nice Autumn woodland colour, oh, and a few nosy cattle.
Walking with My Bro’s
A few snaps from my walk this morning with my two brothers. Thanks to Stephen for taking a few snaps for us. You count as a bro too 😉

The good the bad and the ugly, take your pick 🙂
Stormont Estate
I took a short walk around part of the Stormont Estate this morning in Belfast. This is the home of the Northern Ireland Assembly. Some great views, a bit of history and lovely gardens.
