A little visit to Burbanks near #Haweswater in the #lakedistrict to see the #Bluebells in Naddle woods. It's a good year with a heady aroma and lots of colour. The dogs were rewarded with a swim after patiently waiting for me to take photographs and much squeaking #landscapephotography #cumbria #uk

From yesterday's wander up on #HighStreet in the #LakeDistrict. Taken at Thornthwaite Beacon a 15ft stone cairn with views looking towards Windermere. #landscapephotography #cumbria #uk #spring #mountains #fells #hillwalking

Today has been a long day in the hills above #Haweswater in the #LakeDistrict and a steep descent over Kidsty Pike (triangular peak in the 1st pic) on the way down from #HighStreet. The dogs were hot and needed a dip at the end of it. Now revived #Cumbria #EasternFells #Spring #wainwrights #uk

A cold minus 4 overnight but a lovely day today at Haweswater above the Lake. #lakedistrict #cumbria #uk #spring

This mornings walk and swim is at #Ullswater in the #Lakedistrict. A fine spring day #landscapephotography #cumbria #mountains #uk

Hayeswater Gill on a warm spring afternoon. Hot feet and looking for a spot to dip. Sometimes The Lake District takes my breath away with it's hidden beauty #lakedistrict #landscapephotography #cumbria #rivers #spring #uk

From Thursdays walk. A close up of happy Dog Freya even smiling for the camera. #labrador #lalkedistrict #uk

A hot day out in the hills, a stiff climb up Threshthwaite Mouth and Gray Crag (with a quick detour upto Stoneycove Pike) A dip was required when we got down hot dogs, hot feet and a knackered owner. #landscapephotography #mountains #lakedistrict #cumbria #spring

Periwinkle and Ladybird spotted whilst out walking with dogs down the local roads #plants #cumbria #UK #ladybird #spring

Its going dark here in the Eden Valley, Cumbria and nice to visit my neighbours the pet lambs who have been hand reared for one reason or another and now in the field across the road. A lovely sunny day too and now time for a final stroll down the road before bed with the dogs #Cumbria #sheep #uk

Post for Dog lovers. Taken just over 4 years ago a few days after these two were introduced. Freya (Cream/Red Lab was just 12 weeks old ) and Willow(Black Lab) now 7 really didn't like her initially until this chasing happened and its been non stop fun since.... #Labradors #UK

Do you ever get the feeling your being watched ? #landscapephotography #UK #edenvalley #cumbria

Bluebells (Spanish !) In the sand dunes at Bamburgh, Northumberland. #landscapephotography #seascape #Northumberland #uk

Three pics from a great wander up Grisedale Valley near Glenridding up to Grisedale Tarn and onto the top of Seat Sandal. Great walking but windy on the tops. Managed a paddle in the beck to cool my hot feet off (fab) #landscapephotography #lakedistrict #Ullswater #mountains #Glenridding #UK

A peaceful view of Lantys Tarn above Glenridding in the Lake District. #landscapephotography #cumbria #lakedistrict #spring #uk

Backgarden clouds over the North Pennines. Up early to go do some photography, low cloud with the sun coming through at 6am, spotted whilst having my breakfast #landscapephotography #Cumbria #uk

A couple from today's lovely spring day in the Lake District at Dove Crag and Fairfield. Dogs are totally pooped after much swimming and a steep climb and long walk. #landscapephotography #lakedistrict #spring #Brotherswater #cumbria

A fine early morning walk up the Langstrath in Borrowdale a bit of sunshine, a bit of warmth and lovely clear pools of water. #lakedistrict #cumbria #uk #spring #river

We seem to be having lots of rainy mornings/afternoons and fine clear evenings which means dog walks this week have been mainly late in the day. Taken at #Ullswater I spotted this lesser spotted Labrador called Willow enjoying a swim after a big run around. #lakedistrict #cumbria #uk #labrador

Sometimes out in the hills and mountains of the Lake District You meet some friendly faces in between the heavy showers, rain, wind and the thoughts you have that say "Why am I doing this I'm soaked lol" On the way down from Fairfield #landscapephotography #lakedistrict #herdwicks #uk #cumbria

The Blackthorn blossom (Prunus Spinosa) is in bloom around the lanes of the #EdenValley in #Cumbria and I even spotted a few bees too enjoying a bit of nectar. The blossom follows with development of dark, purple fruits, known as "sloes" which ripen in the autumn and used in sloe gin #spring #uk

Crab Apple tree is in blossom at the sand dunes at Bamburgh beach #bamburgh #Northumberland #landscapephotography #seascape #castles #uk

After yesterday's windy and wet walk above Haweswater I went for a more gentle lower walk today further down the lake to enjoy the sunshine. Still windy but blue skies with clear tops. My sandwich tasted good though sitting in the sun ! #landscapephotography #cumbria #lakedistrict #haweswater #uk

The plan today was to head up to Mardale ill Bell and High Street. However, horrendous winds and long heavy showers forced a turn back at Mardale Ill Bell. As per usual the weather improved a little on the way down and the dogs had fun. #landscapephotography #labradors #lakedistrict #uk #Cumbria

Evening fishing at Ullswater. The sun is setting with fishermen having a little fire on the small piece of land sticking out into the lake. Calm conditions on the lake and a beautiful golden end to the day. #landscapephotography #ullswater #lakedistrict #cumbria #sunset #uk

Time to head off home - I love to wander around the rock pools at Budle Bay in Northumberland after the tide has gone out. I was the only person left on the beach and thought one more shot ! #Northumeberland #BudleBay #seascape #UK

Freya surveying her new kingdom at Lindisfarne Castle, Lindisfarne(Holy Island), Northumberland. #landscapephotography #seascape #labrador #northumberland #uk

A recent early morning visit to the beach at Bamburgh, Northumberland with views over to the Farne Islands. A splendid sunrise and their colours reflecting on the beach. The dogs love to have a nose around the rock pools. #Northumberland #landscapephotography #UK #spring #seascape #sunrise

Following on from my very early morning visit to the beach at Bamburgh, Northumberland. As my black lab shows it's never to early to have a dig, obviously after having a wee dip. #Northumberland #landscapephotography #UK #spring #seascape #sunrise #labrador
