My Sunday Photo... Stonehaven Sculpture

For my Sunday Photo this week I've chosen a nautical sculpture from the waterfront at Stonehaven. 

Stonehaven is a town on the North East coast of Scotland.

It's about a thirty minute drive from Aberdeen. 

I came across this sculpture a few months back whilst walking along the sea front, after indulging in a beautiful full Scottish breakfast. 

I've tried to find out details of the artist who created this incredible trawler (fishing boat) to give them a shout out and credit, but I'm afraid I can't find any details. 

It's about a meter long and the fishermen are actually all fish and their catch are matchstick men! 

The artist obviously had a sense of humour. 

As usual I'm linking up with My Sunday My Sunday Photo and My Captured Moment 

and Through my lens

Why don't you come over and join me.

Enjoy your Sunday

My Sunday Photo....Cathedral Cove, New Zealand

As the temperature dips and winter approaches I find myself dreaming of sandy beaches, pure crystal clear blue water, warm sunshine, stunning skies and scenery.

My mind wanders back to fantastic holidays whilst living in Australia... one particular favourite was when we visited New Zealand.

We made two separate trips... one to the North Island... and one to the South Island.

(If you'd like to see more of our New Zealand adventures then type New Zealand in my search box in my side bar of this blog. You'll see lot's of posts about our trips to both Islands) 

Te Whanganui-A-Hei Marine Reserve as it is known in Maori or Cathedral Cove as we knew it is located on the Coromandel Peninsula of the North Island and is accessible only on foot, boat or kayak.

It's a magnificent beach.

Thanks for joining me for a little flash back photo. 

I'm going to link up with the Sunday Photo gang over at Darren's place if you'd like to see lots more photographs. 

Enjoy your Sunday everyone

My Sunday Photo... Scottish Beach

Morning has broken....

Did you miss me?

I'm hearing a resounding 'of course' here (hehe)....so thank you for that....I know... just humour me...

Well I've been so quiet (for me anyway) since Wednesday, but as you can imagine we've been making the most of the last few days of my daughters visit...but alas the party's over...

she's about to land in the UK in the next half hour...(sigh)...but we're okay about that because we will see each other again at Christmas...so that's not too far away (so I hear).

 I've spent most of today working my way through the 3,000 photographs that she took whilst she was here...and I've been given exclusive rights to use them...for your delight!

Don't worry I don't intend to post all of them and I certainly wouldn't want to have you squirming in your seat wading through masses of holiday photos...but I think you may be in for a treat.

One thing that will stay with me from this visit is how special the dawn came be...the start of a new day

What better way to start a day full of new possibilities...than to capture that special moment....savour it...

take a deep breath and make your heart smile...

I hope your day starts this well ~ have a great weekend everyone....
