saturday critters

this donkey was very tired but curious.


I posted these two photos last year, don't know if you all saw them.  We were on a bus passing through Clonmany heading to Buncrana.  The bus driver stopped and we watched the show unfold.  Eventually the youngsters headed back to their momma. :)

signs and sights

is part of Swan Park in Buncrana.  It is closed now due to flooding during one of the storms we had earlier.  There's a lot of work to be done before it will open again to the public.  As you walk through the trail, you see signs on little plaques identifying the different trees, leaves and plants.  Also there are some for animal tracks.  It's a very easy and nice walk.  These photos were taken in the summer of 2016 on one of our trips to Buncrana.  We're told we are going experience some crappy weather this week with snow, sleet or rain plus it's going to be colder.  So this is a good time to show these summer images.

shopping in buncrana

We take the bus and our backpacks once a month to go to Lidl and Aldi to pick up items that we can't get locally.  It's about an hour bus ride from Moville.
