white cottage

 took this photo back in 2022, I liked the way this little cottage looked except for the plastic flowers.

This is what it looks like now.  Notice the plastic flowers are still there.  I have no idea what happened to the cottage, maybe a storm blew off the flimsy roof.  The ocean is only minutes from here.

the owner had put the bakery up for sale due to personal family issues.  She had been in business at this location for 13 years and the community was very sad that she closed.   Hopefully someone will step forward and buy it.

saturday critters

you usually don't see cows or any animals here so I was surprised to see these relaxing cows.  It is the pier where my header photo was taken, Magheroarty Pier.  I only had enough time to point and shoot so this is the result.  Not bad for a quick shot. :)
