confined to cages to create a wall.  There is a path to the right of this that leads back to a small playground.

house by the lake

on our walk last week to Dungloe Lake, we saw this house in the distance and decided that would be our destination.  It took about 45 minutes to get there.  The hills around there are very rocky so the rocks that we saw around the house looked like they were there naturally and maybe bleached.  I could be wrong but it was interesting to see regardless.  We didn't see any people so we don't know if the house was finished or inhabited.

you can see the house in the distance, to the right and rear of the sign

and it's not the sun.

rocks and light

down by the Foyle

mother nature's art

these are some of the rocks I see when I looking for sea glass that washes up on shore.  I find them very amazing and I enjoy looking at them.  The sea glass we used for crafty ideas.  I find lots of clear glass and lately I've  been finding green, brown, aqua, and blue.  Red is very hard to find according to a source on sea glass that I read.  Someday though...


I found this little tree like branch growing out of the rock.  Very cool and I love the shadow it creates.

another shot  of it from a different angle

abstract looking rocks, very smooth from the water flowing over them

 some of the glass that I found.  It's like winning a prize :)

seagulls

on the lookout and some piled rocks someone stacked up on the shore.

beach road 2

As we began our trek up Beach Rd,  these were some of the scenes I saw.   I wondered where this helicopter came from and where it was headed.  The church spire on the left is Christ Church and the one on the right is St. Joseph's Catholic Church.

 boats tied up and secured

Some boats along the way

 

playground for the kids

some wall art on the wall behind the playground.  I never heard of Grace O'Malley so I googled and yes she was real and a very interesting person.

I love this mini wall with the red door.  It doesn't seem to be anything around it and I didn't see if I could go around it but I think it looks great, a kind of rock puzzle.

someone's private entrance.  It looks like it has a red door, my favorite colour.

this is the end of Beach Rd.

 

the cafe, we didn't go in because we had brought our own food and water for the walk.

Clifden Beach

 the end--I wonder who decided to hang a boot there, I like it!  And now we head back.

an afternoon in moville

The beginning of our stroll on the coastal walk yesterday afternoon looked like this with the cloud covering on the opposite side.
