A few walks and memories

I've started to play with my camera again this past week, trying to remember what I'm doing with it!  My attention span is getting worse by the day lol

Birds



Beach


Walking on the beach last night I spotted these winkle shells tucked in-between the rocks



Bridge

Tenuous link to bridge here - the bridge of the violin was the closest I could find - taken at this session in Antrim last month.  The tunes played at a session are also bridging the gap between amateur and professional and between cultures and between songs and stories.


Bottom

The ferns at the bottom of the forest this morning - they look so luscious



Butterfly 

There have been very few butterflies around this summer - but I remembered this old brooch I had.  Once I'd cleaned up the candle wax off it (?) it got the chance to shine again :)

Happy Easter


Happy Easter my dear blogging friends.  I hope you have a lovely weekend and that the sun shines on you and yours. With Easter being so early this year it's not quite as warm as we'd like, but the sun has been shining gloriously here all day.


We've been in the studio all day, finishing up a great guitar session for the new CD.  Gerard Thompson has been doing the honours and his playing is just lovely.   A lot of my own playing has stayed too, something I'm very pleased and just a tad proud of.  



Rockpools and seagrass 

Once we'd finished up Tom and I went out for a short walk on the beach - there's heat in the sun and a chance to get the camera out.  

Lots of rock pools today ... brought me back to being a child and nosying around - and the seagrasses are starting to flower.





 And a very low tide








So before we pack up the car to head over West to visit my Mum for the long weekend I thought I'd take a minute and wish you all a Bright and Restful weekend.  Maybe the weather will be good enough for a picnic in the woods.
