A photo of the day thread
- Thread starter Jim
- Start date
Having a few days round SW Scotland and took a few snaps...(should say at this stage that my wife took them with her Samsung Galaxy Note One)
A couple of the "Aire"' at Castle Corner just down the road from Glencaple as mentioned in a while ago by @lorger ...
Some from the path through the woods that leads from Castle Corner along the shore. Also spotted a deer but too slow with the phone!
Moved on to Garliston
Just caught the sun right on the mill race
Where the stream that forms the millrace runs out into the estuary
Huge tree on the green with beautiful blossom.
Swans where the stream meets the sea.

Glad your enjoying my neck of the woods, castle corner really is ideal for a quiet night or two. We also love Garlieston for a quick get away, try the pub it might not look much from the outside but really friendly and nice good basic food
Thanks Gerry, trying a few different sites this trip.
Had a night in between at the Glenearly site at Dalbeattie. Nice, with excellent facilities but a little expensive.
Going to have a look at the harbour at the Isle of Whithorn tomorrow to see if we can get on there.

You should be fine there, I'd also recommend Port Patrick lovely little town with couple of nice pubs the crown is our fave. If you head into town and get to the sea turn left and park in the car park behind the lighthouse, it has signs saying no overnight but you'll be fine. We spoke with the local community warden and they had no issues, if you see them in their van have a chat. You can also stay at port Logan in the car park for the fish pool, pub is now shut bit lovely location.

Just to keep in theme I used a 1936 Contax II rangefinder camera to take these shots on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

My mam always told me that it was the month of May that had to be out, id never heard of it in the in the context of May blossom. And a clout was clothing but talking to a chappie yesterday he told my friend & I that a 'clout' was something to do with roofing & that you wouldnt do a new roof until the month of May was out ???View attachment 231180 N'er cast a clout 'til May be out............ so you can now
Anyone shed any light on this pls???
Im sure I did Trev/LilBet you got to the seaside quicker than me.
hope you are both well?
Yes, I can imagine you do David. Sone seriously barrow lanes in places.@Debs now you’ve done it everyone will want to go to Pembrokeshire now, if you want Great beaches go to South Pembrokeshire but don’t tell anyone. I live in Pembrokeshire for 28 years before moving to Market Harborough and still miss it.
Not much of an offering today though.
Lots of chinese people digging in the sand.
Lots of sealife too, if you looked close enough
No idea what type of crab this is pls??
Sea urchin?
And lots of cockles/winkles.

Yes fine although Lil has the easy bit as she is flying out,I had to drive. Hope you are good too.

If you mean the weather the photo was not typical and stayed sunny for the rest of the day although different parts have experienced very different weather. Had a couple of cloudy days here otherwise lots of sunshine and early 20’s but gather there was hail last weekend by Tarragona.Have heard it’s not great on the eastern coast.

As many as you want... providing it is one at a time...
At 6' 4", one length of the pool is a distance of 18 inches for me. I plan to work my way up to ten lengths per day.

@Debs I can't help with identifying your crab, but the 3 'things' on the rock look to be sea anemones, which open up when covered in water
