Day 172 of my 366 Project 
Bare Trees Revisited Day 22.

Revisited day 22 today to see what the scene looks like when the trees and hedges have their summer look. I cannot believe it is 150 days since I took this last time. I think we take for granted the countryside it looks so lovely in all the seasons when I originally took the photo the trees were totally bare now they are in full bloom.

Day 159 of my 366 Project 
East Cole Lighthouse Silloth.
I was over Cumbria today and at my last job I noticed the Old Lighthouse just over the road from where I was. The lighthouse was built in 1834 and they used to push it along rails, then it was fixed in place in 1914 at the optimum position. There was dabbled cloudy and sunny rays poking through but very humid and did I mention 24 degrees...

Seascale Seafront.
June is here and the first Day of Summer, I was over Cumbria today for the first day of summer where the weather was beautiful.

When I left Trimdon at 7.30am it was cold damp and a bit misty, not at all June weather or the first day of summer. When I got over Cumbria just past Keswick the sun was splitting the trees and it even got up to 22 degrees.
