Today Was The Day We Did The Unthinkable!


But it was well worth it........



We shut the pub!!!

The county show was on in Kirkwall and as most of the island folk were going to it  we took the opportunity and had a day off.

A walk with a picnic was suggested so off we went.

Passing the seal colony at one local beach, this smaller faster creature jumped out of the water.

An Otter, an Otter, look there's an Otter says D. 

Two quick snaps later and he was away, but at least I got him/her/It.

Onward!

The South East coast on Stronsay has an awful lot to offer by way of dramatic scenery. 

I'm not going to waffle on to much here and just let the pictures do the talking for me,
you can almost feel the peace and calm oozing from this picture.

That horizon is so far away it's curved.

What could you say anyway?

Baby Fulmars are a big furry blob with a beak.

Later though, they will grace the sky with their aerial acrobatics. 

Wow!

Pinch, pinch, do we really live here?

At last........gotcha!

B52 on final approach.

Now this is what you call a picnic spot!!

Six hours we were up there, it was worth every second!







Until next time..................
