Someone took a paint brush to #sunset at #Greatstone this evening 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent #EastCoastKin

Booker Prize winner 1987, 'The Moon Tiger' by Penelope Lively. One of my favourite books and a deserved winner. Also just read 'Road to Lichfield' shortlisted in 1977🤪 Usual bookmark drawing of the author to accompany. 😊 #BookSky 📚💙 #booklover #bookerprize #art #bookmark #pencildrawing #portrait

Wordle 1,468 4/6 #Wordle #WQuers ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 ⬛🟨⬛🟩⬛ 🟩⬛⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩On the average again 🌞 Not going to be posting much until the 'latest from Follows' feed server is fixed @why.bsky.team 😊Will leave you with a photo of #sunset yesterday at #Greatstone. 🌞

Some dark clouds moving up from the south made for a quite dramatic #sunset again. The first shower has just reached #Greatstone, very humid this evening. 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Some patchy fog lapping onto the beach at #Dungeness today 😊 #monochrome #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent #seafog #coast

Been drawing this morning and suddenly noticed the sun shining with #bluesky at #Greatstone. Photo over the back wall just now 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Still have the cloud that drifted in last night at #Greatstone. Almost no wind this morning, 17c and the atmosphere feels rather heavy and humid. Have a good day 😊 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Wordle 1,467 4/6 #Wordle #WQuers ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩Solid four today. Another photo of the dramatic #sunset yesterday at #Greatstone 🌞

Another Booker Prize winner 1986, 'The Old Devils' by Kingsley Amis. I tried to read this in the 1990s but gave up, easier now I'm nearer the age of the characters 🤪 Great face to draw. 😊 #BookSky 📚💙 #booklover #bookerprize #art #bookmark #pencildrawing #portrait

Different #sunset tonight at #Greatstone with lots of low cloud rapidly moving in from the Channel on a 15mph WSW wind. The cloud quickly won the battle but I did managed to take some photos 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Up and out walking the dogs 🐕🐕before 6am this morning, there were some beautiful clouds lit by the low rising sun at #Greatstone. ⛅Have a good day 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Read quite a few books lately, mainly Booker Prize winners or those short listed, will post one a day for a while with my usual author pencil drawing bookmark. Roddy Doyle 'Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha' to start with, 1993 winner. 😊 #BookSky 📚💙 #booklover #bookerprize #art #bookmark #pencildrawing

#sunset this evening at #Greatstone, flock of ducks photobombed the third photo 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

The last of the the early morning showers are moving away into the Channel towards mainland Europe leaving #bluesky to the west and another beautiful day at #Greatstone. Marbled White butterflies very numerous this year 🌞🌿 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent #nature

Wordle 1,464 3/6 #Wordle #WQuers 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩A nice all green day. An unusual 6.30am Wordle for me, awoken by a combination of thunder, heavy rain and frightened dogs ⛈️🐕😊 Here's another image from the quite cloudy #sunset yesterday evening at #Greatstone. 🌞

A rather cloud dominated #sunset at #Greatstone, the sun did appear at the horizon briefly before setting. What a glorious day, 30c at Greatstone earlier🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent #heatwave
