Blue


So - what's the weather like here in January?


Well, on Saturday we set off to meet up with the walking group. This is what it was like near us - foggy.



In 20 minutes' time, when we reached the promenade at Joppa, an eastern suburb of Edinburgh, it was like this.



We walked along the coastal path, past Fisherrow harbour.



These fishermen had been yarnbombed. They're bollards, preventing people from inadvertently (or otherwise) driving on to the prom.



It was a perfect day: blue as forget-me-nots and without a ripple on the water. You can faintly see Edinburgh's city hill, Arthur's Seat, on the horizon. It was obviously still misty there.


We kept on till we got through Prestonpans and then a little further,



to Cockenzie, where we had lunch. We'd walked for six and a bit miles and we briefly considered walking back again. But then we got the bus instead.

  2. Such a beautiful day....We could use a little sun and blue skies around here. But I think we're headed into more snow. Oh, well, my grandchildren will like it for their ski club on Saturday.

  4. So, the color of Edinburgh in winter is a gorgeous blue? I wouldn't have believed it if you didn't have so many pieces of persuasive proof! Oh, and I love those fisherman posts in their jerseys!

  6. Wow -- it's even beautiful there in the middle of winter. It's just cold and rainy here -- we don't even have any snow this year. Your photos are so pretty!

  8. Beautiful Blue!
    Some great photos there. The Fisherrow one is very interesting and the colour blue all the way to Arthur's seat is stunning.
    A good Winter work out.
