Snap some lobster

On a nice sunny day we drove along the coast to one of the small fishing ports which catches a lot of lobster and enjoyed very tasty lobster and chips while sitting on the side of the harbour looking at lobster pots.  Afterwards we had a look at the information shed for the new lobster hatchery which is working with the lobster fishermen to grow on the eggs from caught lobster and then release them to ensure a sustainable lobster population in local waters - they had a lobster in a tank.  The dramatic change in colour from live to cooked always amazes me.

 

 I enjoyed all your sets last week and am always interested to see patterns that emerge

Memorandum Monday

Waving to you all as I watch the clouds and hope the wind will blow them all away soon - looking at the weather forecst I think this week will be one of dashing out to do things whenever there is a clear patch and hoping to be done before the next rain shower.


My new thing for the weekend was making these

these will be going to Bath for an installation in late summer to raise money for the Red Cross European Refugee Crisis appeal - you can find out more here.  I'm pleased to have a good use for bits of pink and purple yarn in my stash and they are easy to make while talking or watching TV.

Hoping you all have a good week

6 words Happy

so last week I accidently posted this week's word so this week I'm doing last week's - happy.  Hope that is clear (oh dear venturing into next week's word which is hope!)

joining in with Miriam's lovely weekly challenge

Snap in the Highlands

I find the Highlands' scenary dramatic and beautiful although I know some think it is bleak.  I like the bold shapes and few signs of habitation.  For my snap set I chose 4 scenic views taken on different walks

I like how there are layers beyond layers with the different hills and I think the clouds add to the dramatic effect.

The first is from a walk alongside a river which is fed entirely by a spring which seeps up through the limestone - the walk ends at a set of caves but I stopped about half way and enjoyed a sunny spot while others continued up to the caves

The second was another walk along a valley on a path that was used in the past as the main route out of the valley to the water and boats

The third is looking down towards a bridge over a deep gorge - we walked down there and over the bridge - my photos of the view from the bridge are not fabulous as I was holding on tight to the bridge railing at all times so had to operate my camera one handed

The last shows a rainbow - luckily we got home before the rain that caused it reached us

I think I caught up with all your snap sets from last week but if I missed any add them to the linky this week as well as your set for this week
