More Strange Sights up North

Holy Island's 
Redundant Herring Fleet
 ~
 Boats turned up-side-down, 
now making 'shabby chic' sheds.
Recycling has been going on 
for ages here,
'make do and mend',
still smelling a bit 'fishy' though!

I was overjoyed at the sight
of these up-turned boats on the seashore, 
they are relics from the past 
adding enchantment to the island,
an atmosphere of ancient times still lingering on.

Oh I love them too! They are wonderful old boats. Why they are so weathered and worn. I cannot imagine how old they are! I adore the dog in the foreground. It just makes the photo. Great sightseeing Sue! You offer us so much history we would never have known about.

The sheds are wonderful -- quirky but practical. But the adorable pup really brings a spot of joy!

This is gorgeous, Sue. I love these beautiful sheds, even though they might be a bit "fishy". What a clever idea!

What to Do?

Jamie Ridler asks in Wishcasting Wednesday - How would you like to spend some time? Good question for me at this time of year as I usually embark on some course or other for the winter months ahead, and as usual I'm not sure?  I go through  familiar questions, what do I really love and would like to spend time pursuing?  I've got qualifications in Fine Art and my heart is in photography, graphics, printmaking etc. But I'm torn because I'm also interested in Personal Development and have a yearning to share what I've learned so far with others in some way, especially on-line?  So what do I do? How do  I spend some time doing what I want to do, don't know, not sure but one thing I do know is that I need to spend more time puzzling it out? Or will it just come to me?  Do I spend more time meditating upon these ideas??? For other wishcaster wishes visit Jamie Ridler Studios

Rise

Learn from the Lupin, when rain clouds gather and burst take a bow, then rise. Hiya all, just got back from a small break by the sea, it filled my soul right to the brim!  These beautiful Lupins made a statement to me on my return so I thought I'd share it with all you haiku folks! Have a great weekend, should be back with news about the fox cub soon, seems he's too comfy in the womb!  Or waiting til the rain clouds are banished!
