Hi Woofers!
McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss MacSnowflake
and Mr McBrambles back again!
Boy have we had some fun today! We were
out good and early this morning and it was such a rush to get out
that Old Two Legs forgot to get his 'General Camera' from the
caravan, so the only one in the car that was ready to use was the
Infrared Thingy Wotssit Camera!
So, there we were, hunting Nargles,
while OTL was trying to remember the controls and what he had to set
them on to get a picture!
Then he set to photographing
everything, including doing a 'Selfie', well, MacHolly did press the
shutter for him while the camera was resting on a rock!
Not very pretty! |
We don't think those glasses do
anything for him but they do keep the wind from making his eyes
water!
Me doing a 'Selfie' |
We were looking for Nargles and Eagles
when OTL spotted a Sea Eagle but it was too far away to photograph,
but we did see the sun shine through his white tail, that's how we
know it was a Sea Eagle!
Feeling all proud of ourselves we
started to look for his mate but were stopped in our tracks, there,
up in the sky, hovering like a big balloon was a UFO!
It's a Mull UFO in Infrared! |
MacHolly said that we should all run
away but OTL explained that the UFO was the diaphragm in the lens!
MacHolly said she doesn't care what he called it, it still looks
dangerous!
Back to the caravan to do our chores,
well, OTL has to get the ferrets sorted and walked around the field
before we can go out!
We stopped off in Tobermory to park the
car and OTL tried a shot of the harbour in Infrared, well, it's
different!
Infrared Harbour! |
After we parked the car we set off for
'The Light House'!
In all the years OTL has never got out
to the lighthouse. He nearly made it out one year but The Missus
managed to spoil that trip by demanding that they had to go back!
OTL said he would tell us exactly what
happened, later!
We finally arrived at the lighthouse
and while OTL was messing about with the camera we sat and enjoyed
the view of the yachts sailing by!
Sailing By. |
Then we went right up to the lighthouse
and had a good sniff around but we couldn't find any light house
keepers!
Can we be the Lighthouse Daughters? |
Mind you, the housing looks OK but there are no roads to the Light House, so it's all by boat or a walk along the very muddy path!
The Cottages. |
Now, on the way back we had to jump
onto some plastic crates that have been put on the muddy bit of the
path. Many, many years ago, OTL and TM were heading for the
lighthouse when they came across these crates that were put there to
help keep you out of the mud. All you had to do was to lightly skip
across the crates and land on the other side.
Not TM!
OTL crossed half way and turned around
to help TM but she launched herself onto the crate and slid off the
end and landed, splat, in the mud!
She was not a Happy Puppy and stomped
off back to the car to head back to the caravan and showed off!
We all had a good chuckle and MacHolly
showed off by dancing across the crates calling out 'Watch Me! Watch
Me'!
This where she went SPLAT! |
There was a little waterfall we past on
the way back and OTL decided to try some 'Slow Shutter' pictures that
make the water look all misty!
Possibly another Ethereal? |
Not bad, especially as the camera was
'hand held'!
Back to the caravan for chicken and
biscuits, followed by a good snooze!
See you tomorrow!
McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss MacSnowflake
and Mr McBrambles!
Brilliant blog today, you made me laugh so much. Beautiful pictures again. I'm glad MacHolly remembered the spot where TM launched and skidded into the mud. I have visions of that in my head and tears running down my face. I'm sure any lighthouse keeper would be pleased to have you two as his daughters. Now I reckon that UFO is a nargle ............ peeping down to see who is around. I spotted the ethereal in the water, I'm glad to see that they have a good wash. Enjoy your snoozes and don't over do it, we don't want you needing another holiday when you get home. Happy mugging, looking forward to reading the next instalment of your adventures xxxx
ReplyDeleteYou are braver than me, you would not have got me crossing by crate and I don't think TM will be doing it again, did OTL take "the picture", I am sure he would not dare let you post it! Beautiful pictures again, something different and memorable the lighthouse looks rather nice with the flowers, well taken OTL. xxxx
