An invitation.

Another beautiful sunny day, but not forgetting we are in the North East of Scotland, still the stiff and cold breeze.

High tide.  You would think Gulls would be used to it and be more prepared.

But no.  Swamped by a wave off they go.

A stranger heading for the harbour.  

From Newry, Northern Ireland.  

My painting mojo is back, thank goodness.  A Brown Hare the DP came across the other morning.  On the drawing board.

And a sky begun also, which will have Thrift in the foreground.  Now I do not often paint floors (flowers)  so fingers crossed.

But the big news of today is my lovely joiner came with a reasonable quote for the shedudio to be double glazed, with doors that will not rattle and I will be windproof as well as toasty warm with the stove.  The windows will not have the wee frames so I can photograph the birds outside without the camera focussing on the frames rather than the birds.  Heaven awaits.  And a grand opening.  You are all invited.
