Midges and an Adventure

This morning there were a few dead midges around after the door had been open most of yesterday evening so I tried to get some photos with the microscope.  Given that a midge is less than 2mm long it's a challenge just finding it.  David has to go to Uist today.  I shall go for the journey.  It'll be a full day there and back.  So these are some quick midge shots just to let you know how the experiment went: not very well.  I shall get some good shots eventually with a bit more time and application.

Bayble Harbour

It's small.  It's not got perfect access at all tides.  I was one of the ones who was not convinced that it would be used.  Yesterday I went to see for myself and discovered that it's being well used at the moment anyway.

Thankful Thursday

It's been a Good Day.  In fact it's been a Good Week in a Good Month in a Good Year.  What more can any man ask for?  How could I not be thankful this Thursday as I work in my garden with a friend to help with the weeding and a Molly-dog to supervise.  (Yes, I know that the top wire on the fence needs tightening).
