mussels

Low tide walk today. ate some of these recently, a different sort of pearly effect on your teeth. I recommend gathering them further west up the loch where its less gritty.

over the hill

a quick hop over the hill to taxi the young folk. dog run about. still big snow patches & iced lochs up there.spring down below. I can understand why someone would want their ashes spread on the top of it, what  I'm not so sure about is the people who spread those ashes in a heap by the car park where people dump their ash trays ...come on they could have walked a few feet up into the rocks at least?

rain-sweet crows

So someone had left a sweetie necklace hanging on a bush, or was it a gift to the ancient fairie folk? Then I stalked a whole posse of crows along the beach- yes I said posse- they were walking along pecking at low tide bugs, the ones at the back of the gang -posse, whatever - would take turns and fly to the front, the whole group -gang- moved along slightly faster than I could creep up on them. Then they were gone, one shot of the whole flock- hover, murder-  in flight was all I got. Crows are great.

Monday- Turbine parts, Kyle

another bright sun day, ship bringing in Turbine parts in Kyle of Lochalsh.

Ragweaving class

another lovely day. & Ragweaving class. Thursday.

a sunny day for a fire

As someone said today, 3am on a windy night would have been a different story. I feel very privileged to do a job like this where we do, people travel the world to see scenery like this & we tank across it in a fire engine. Another couple of weeks & the snows will melt then the dreaded exhausting muir burning starts. spectacular but I'll be way too puffed out to take photos !
