Today's scheduled random act of wildness was an evening stroll along the beach, so after tea I headed out to Formby with my Wife and eldest daughter. The weather hasn't been that good today so there was no evening sunshine, just gentle winds and the odd bit of drizzle.
It would have been nice to have come another day when the tide was in and the sun was out but it was still a good walk and a nice way to end a week at work. The best thing about this evenings walk was the fact that hardly anybody was out walking which meant we had the beach near enough to ourselves.

Oh how lovely! I like Formby beach and the sand dunes there also the wood with red squirrels - great to have it to yourselves:)
ReplyDeleteLovely sand dunes. I think your unknown yellow flowers are birdsfoot trefoil, definitely some sort of yellow vetch.
ReplyDeleteLovely post and great photos. Formby is on my list of places to visit (the wood for the red squirrels and the beach and dunes for wildlife). It looks a good place to walk.
ReplyDeleteThe bee is SOOOOOO fluffy! You really do live in a beautiful place!x
ReplyDeleteI like Formby - I've only been once, about 8 years ago, but I'd love to revisit! The flowers are birdsfoot trefoil.
