Little Evening Walks



We went for a little jaunt up to rocky point. Catch a breather, feel the space open up around us. The sky was into its full autumn colour show.

It was a little too dark to get a good photo of the valley colours. Try to get up there sometime before the leaves are lost in the wind.

Kerstin spotted one of the resident Great Grey Owls on our little walk. She had been wanting to hear it for sometime, and finally last night I managed to wake her so she could listen to one "Hooting" in the early hours. Of course she wanted badly to see one next... so full success!

The sky went on for one final finally of colours...



Well cheers! Till another day!

The Fall out of Summer


Autumn is fully on here. The leaves are all giving up their chlorophyll revealing all their hidden colours, while packing their stores downstairs :)

Squirrels are going 'Nuts' gathering all they can, and trying to remember all the hidden spots they had over the summer. A couple of Squirrels were not impressed with my road-work, I think I may have scooped up some of their stashes and re-located.

** note ** no squirrels were harmed in the making of this road.

Misty Trip


So.... it's a misty morning here. Damp. Rain... E. R.... So FINALLY, we are off to the Coast!

Kerstin keeps talking about the beach... no big beautiful sandy ones here... well not many that are accessible, without boat, sorry. Just Rock and craggy edges with tidal pools and hermit crabs living under barnacled rocks.

To the coast it is then!
