Sunshine for a while

 


After it rained all night the sun eventually came out in the morning so a stroll down to the Crofters was called for. It's not that far at all but when the sun shines it is glorious as it is on the way back as above with the warm rays on your back.

The i took off in the car to a beach road at the end of the village when I shot with the Hassie for a double exposure collab I am doing with IshTish on the island. I'm shooting NPS160 for this [it was going to be an E3 film but thought better of it.] while IshTish shoots Tmax400 in 35mm. Should be fun.

midge here


 It's wet too. Been raining all night and there's water everywhere. luckily the flap for the cats to exit and enter the residence was locked shut last night so we didn't get an over-damp Keith cuddling up to us in the early hours. The thing is we have had a four legged intruder of the feline kind recently who has managed to sort the code on the flap and come in the ravage the food. No more I hope.

splishy splashy


 It was raining and for a change there was a mere breeze as we stepped out for a stroll on a village beach. 'Our' beach for what it's worth. There's three beaches round about here so one has a choice. Only the beach we chose was extremely wet underfoot as well as overhead. The sea water had retreated somewhat but the sand was most uneven. I must run off a quick email to Torquil about that.

We got wet as it happens but all the same it was lovely and just a bit like this snap above. you'll just have to imagine the sea and the sand

shows


The islands used have them all over but you'll see them less and less with the lack of volunteers and funds. I think this one at Carloway still happens in the summer. A nice spot on the west side of Lewis.

This was a time when I had the energy to go places, snap things up and develop the films. However, I do  still have energy to follow the cats - Hungry and Keith. With the current mild less windy nights Hungry has taken to going out early morning for a prowl. I do wonder if Keith bashing him round the ear with his paw has something to do with that. Then I find the curled up together in the winter sunshine on our bed. Is it any wonder I seem to have developed an allergy to cats.

of course I got out of bed

 


I felt sure you'd want to see the animal all-sorts ready for the holiday break.
