Hidden lochans covered with water-lilies,
long lazy lunches at our favourite table
while we watch the ferry dock.
Working together at the peat bank..
old rusty gate posts - still standing, proud...
Sheep fanks, cattle and caterpillars.
Summer toes,
beach delights
Exhibition opening nights.
A colourful tangle of beach found twine
just - being - here...
and let's get ready to dig into another week!
Summer is such a busy time, and so much is going on that I want to hold on to. Each Sunday I am posting a series of snapshots of things I have loved in the past week. Those ordinary but special moments that might have gone unnoticed or forgotten Trying to distill the love and joy from this hectic Summer season to remember with gratitude and warmth when the days are short again.
I love your collection. Looks like you had a fabulous summery week. I didn't know you had waterlillies on your lochans. Thought it would be too cold. Just goes to show you, that you learn new things from loads of different sources. How pretty is that! Have a great week this week.
