oyster harvesting

time to sort the farmed oysters down on the pier, different colours for the different sizes.

tangled mess

of rope down by the pier.  Where there are boats, you usually see this.  I wonder who unravels it.

down on the pier

It was very windy and choppy the other day when we went down to the pier.  There wasn't anything going on,  no people, no fishing, nothing.   We stayed for a few minutes and watched the water.  It was climbing up on the stairs and the ladder people use to come up from their boats was being invaded by water too.  It will be interesting to see how the winter plays out here.  It will be our first one in Moville and we are only a few minutes away from this spot.  We are ready!

oyster harvesting

I happened to come across these oysters down at the pier being bagged and putted on pallets.  I imagine they are going to market.  There are red bags, green and brown bags.  I have no idea what the colours mean if they mean anything.  I tried oysters many years ago and never liked them.

sundown

The sun just went home, when it comes back nobody knows.

after class

Students are off to their canoe lessons at the pier.

a bird fly by

I love looking at the different cloud covers, they differ so much from day to day.  I like the way they look here and the bird flying by was a bonus.  Happy day to everyone!

donegal colours

This canoe was sitting here down by the pier.  Haven't seen it before so I wonder if it's done for the season.  A little sanding and paint and this canoe will look sharp.
