Padlocked door at Burghead Well (see below)

We often see these strange but pretty stone arrangements on the beach. The one above was below the high tidemark so it will be interesting to see if it's still there next time we go to Findhorn. Just before I snapped the one below Doofus Maximus (Alfie) jumped all over it!

The collage pics were taken on Thursday.

Pictured are the lake with golf course beyond, Laburnun blossom and old caravan, all in the grounds of Cawdor Castle, Cawdor village church and graveyard and the Rodney Stone, situated at Brodie Castle.

Now some photos of the last couple of days....

We went back to Brodie on Friday only to discover....

So we went to the loch which is in the castle grounds and were treated to these guys....nono, little girl, give US your bread! Also, Mum read the castle info board....properly this time....and it seems they do allow dogs on leads within the grounds, yippee, we get to water the Royal bluebells!

Then we went to Findhorn Beach for some fun on the pillboxes and a spot of posing!

When we first turned up it was quite showery but the sun came out and it was lovely and warm!

Remember a similar photo from a while back? Well Mum thought she'd recreate it with the new camera and Alfie obliged by holding the pose for ages....seems Britain really does have talent!

Whaddya mean, "BZZZZZZ"?? (Alfie here: Not really, I was scanning the beach for Mason!)

Saturday.....

Oooh, this looks interesting!

Hmphh, shut!

Wait a minute though....

....no answer!

We'll try another day. We had an hour or so to kill so we drove out to here again, just because.

On the way we saw this fella....seems we're not the only ones who like to roll in poop....way to go Bully!

Awwww :D

Back in Burghead time for a quick walk on the beach, the tide was out and it was raining again so these are taken with the phone camera which is still great for silly action sets.

More posing!

Watch out for some big huge exciting news in the next day or so....Petey has part one on his bloggy now!

Sunday at Roseisle....

Yesterday morning we (Mum & girls) went through to Nairn to pick Liam's phone up from the police station where it had been handed in. We had planned on the River again but when we drove into Nairn we saw an oilrig heading into the Cromarty Firth so we went to the beach instead. We used Liam's phone as it has a better zoom...

....zoom....

....zoom!

But it's still not great, why do they put this much of a zoom on if the camera can't cope with it?

In the afternoon it was Snoop and Alfie's turn and we went to Findhorn, not much beach to walk on as the tide was pretty high, such a beautiful day though.

Last night's sunset at Burghead was stunning....

....be sure to visit our SkyWatch post this Friday for the full picture!

Mono Maniacs

This week I decided to do a sepia entry, this collage just didn't look right in black and white.

Today we took Summer to Inverness for a new gym kit, we walked the boys at Nairn on the way home. Gabbi stayed to keep Rosie company.

Our sofas are covered to save them from any mess from the girls....Alfie objects to the blanket!

Remember Tellytubby Land the other day? Well this is Summer's new gym t-shirt! When she was little Po was her favourite :o)

We also saw a giant rabbit for sale in Pets At Home....(I felt bad for him and didn't think to photograph him, but he was very cute) Summer squealed and begged me to buy him but I don't think the Beagles would have understood!
