Here are some photos from my latest Scottish visit (Isle of Lismore, in November). Some are remarkably like the previous year's offerings, but I just can't resist taking them...
The cottages from the hill behind;
Also from the hill - big snowy lumps on the mainland (sorry, need a Scot for definitive identification...);
Snowy Morvern from the causeway island near the cottage;
High tide line;
Just about to leave on the ferry.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I took a series of photos out of the skylight one morning (while I was washing the bedroom paintwork!), showing the changing light while the tide went out & exposed the causeway. They were taken over a period of about 3 hours.
8.30am.
Causeway beginning to appear
Sun on the island makes it look completely different.
Birds queue up to investigate the causeway for bugs etc
With wellies you could wade across now.
Some high tides only come up this far, leaving the causeway exposed
Around 11.15
Loads of waders love the mud flats and seaweedy bits.
It's easy to spend too much time looking out of the window...

Visitors leave lots of "treasures"...
The green sea urchins are quite common, but that's the first red one to be left in the basket.
Beautiful pics Liri
Is the second one looking up to the Glencoe, Fort William area?

Yes, Joyce - looking north. You can't quite see Ben Nevis from that point though.
I would be spending too much time out there in my wellies (or dry suit) poking around in the seaweed.
You have a lovely view, Liri.
The following day, that view looked rather different.
A little later I went out to the causeway to phone OH (there's no phone signal in the house), and it went like this:
and then, from the skylight again, like this:
and the day after, we had this:
I put this one on the "Jam jar flowers" thread. I pruned the rambler which grows up the cottage but didn't want to throw away the flowers.
Thanks, Fidget & Scroggin. We're very lucky - it is indeed a wonderful view.
