Flying in the Grey

Took the dogs down to the beach tonight -love the lighter nights! The tide had only turned about an hour previously and the waves were quite big so not much beach to speak of until we got right along to the burn where there was a splash of sandy colour against everything else which was just grey. The sky, the stones along the narrow strip of beach and the sea all seemed to be the same colour tonight. Even looking back into town there were just grey buildings trying to hide in the mist along with the floodlights from the football stadium.

A group of oystercachers flying along the shoreline were the only thing that brightened up the scene looking out to sea. At the burn however we had fun and games when Ruby the naughty retriever decided that she wanted to play with Kilbo and Mayar rather than walking with her people. Her mum had to come back 3 times when she kept deciding to run back along to the burn to play She was eventually taken away in disgrace with her lead on. Don't know what it is with our dogs but they always seem to bring out the worst in other dogs!
