Seals, sand and sea shells

My cousin and I walked to the beaches of Ardskenish at lunchtime today. It offered the usual delicious cocktail of sand, waves, seashells, seals, fresh air and the desire to be nowhere else.
Here is the reason the beaches are so free from plastic and other rubbish.  The dedication and energy of the locals, keeping their island's principal asset clean and beautiful.
A couple of oyster catchers leaving their footprints in the sand.
And back to the car, across Colonsay's golf course!
We go home tomorrow.  The day has arrived all too soon.  But good news!  The plan is to come back again in October for the island's food and drink festival.  Can't wait.

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
