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 :) 

Joining up today with Scavenger Hunt Sunday

The Session

Getting ready for the session

The session is a regular part of life in Ireland and we have several regular ones in Rostrevor. 

Deirdre on the fiddle

These pics were taken at the Tuesday night session a few weeks ago.

The pub is tiny

This one is mostly songs based which is quite unusual as most are tunes based with a few songs punctuating the music.

Jimmy playing whistle tunes

I don't get down very often as it's always a late night or early morning but when I do go down I love it and always have great fun.

Alfie on banjo - he leads the session with Matthew

There are singing sessions in the area every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and an early one on Sunday.   So if you're around and have a song to sing or a tune to play then drop in.   You'd be very welcome.
