Last day on Colonsay

We go home tomorrow.  Once again our week's holiday on our favourite island has been reduced by one day because of the ferry cancellation last Wednesday.  We had the same experience in May 2018. We go home feeling as though it's just been a long weekend.  But we have had a happy time, visiting our favourite places and although it has been the simplest of holidays, it has been enough.

Today we timed our walk to take advantage of low tide on the strand across to Oronsay.  We walked across to a beach which looks towards to Jura and Islay.  Glorious views, moody skylines and a peaceful walk with a light breeze, brief glimmers of sunshine, and a good old slosh through the residual tide on the strand.
This is the strand with Oronsay in the distance.  
And two white, sandy beaches with the Paps of Jura in the distance.   I love the soft colours in the sea and skies today.  These are the places which bring peace to the soul, and top up the spirit!

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.
