Odds and Ends
Pat and I took Briagha for a brief walk in the Castle grounds on Friday. She (Briagha not Pat) thought it was a day for paddling. She couldn't understand why we wouldn't join her. Instead we joined GB in The Woodlands for a coffee (and, in my case, the irresistible Florentine).
On the way back from town we pass this old mill.
Even though I have taken this view many times over the last 15 years I still cannot resist getting the camera out when the sun is shining.
We went out for a meal in the evening, stopping briefly on the Briagh where I got some shots of Oystercatchers.
We also passed the pottery which GB used to own. Sad to say, it has now closed down.
It is approaching the longest day and up here in The Hebrides the nights are getting very short. At 11.30 at night it was still light enough to see for miles and four hours later the sun was rising again.

The Dawn
Thursday 5th June 2008
It was raining with thick, uniform, grey/black clouds at 5.45 this morning.
But anyone who was up from half past four would have seen yet another lovely sunrise. You can blame Carol up the road for me showing yet more cloud photos - she was so complimentary about the Saturday sunset ones when she and Iain called in last night on their way back from a walk. These two photos were taken in fairly quick succession around 4.40 am.
Because I am facing into the sun, the camera gives a false impression of the amount of light on the foreground. It appears to be dark but it is actually perfectly light by 4.45 a.m.
This is looking over to the South West, across Norman and Christine's holding at 5.50 a.m.. There is a thick dark grey cloud over almost all the sky except the North East.
Looking Eastwards up Iain's croft the sky is just as bad over Iain and Carol's which is hidden behind the trees on the left.
By five a.m. the sun was disappearing into the clouds.
And by half past five the only pale bits left were over the mainland.

Dawn - yet again
Tuesday 27th May, 2008
Not another picture of the dawn, I hear you say. Sorry, but for as long as I keep waking up in time and the sun keeps shining I cannot resist it. You are just lucky that the sunsets haven’t been so spectacular (or else I’ve been in bed and missed them!)
Ben More, Canisp and Suilven just before the dawn.
