strong roots

pushing through the cracks in the wall.

cup fungi

looks like a screaming wall of cup fungi.  I saw these yesterday on a side of a building and never heard of them before.  Shari had pointed them out to me when we walked passed the building.

a good day to paint, no rain and cool temps.

wall collapse

on the side of the coastguard building we had a small building which wasn't used for anything.  I think it was a small place to park a car many years ago.  With the strong gusty winds we had during the week, the outside wall blew down.  Our neighbor parks his car in the space you see on the left.  Luckily it wasn't damaged so the other day he started to lower the remaining wall so it wouldn't be a problem.  Next month, he will rent a dumpster (skip) to have the cement blocks hauled away.

this is the front, trees had been growing inside for years.  It had a door, an opening for a window and no roof.  Not very sturdy for strong winds.  So the collapse was the loud noise we heard on Sunday night.  It's rather interesting, nobody really paid attention to the building.

a bird on the wall

when I first saw the bird, I thought it was real.  I had to look closely and then realized it was not a real bird.  It had me fooled. :)

woodvale wall

has a serious crack in it and that's not good!

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.

an early morning flight for this bird

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.
