Thu, 19 May 2011 14:28:00 -0700 An Islay Sunset without the Sun http://isleofislay.posterous.com/an-islay-sunset-without-the-sun http://isleofislay.posterous.com/an-islay-sunset-without-the-sun

James Deane and myself went out to Saligo Bay tonight to try and capture a sunset. Although it was rather cloudy we decided to give it a try anyway. As you can see from the title we didn't actually see a proper sunset but we did manage to capture beautiful waves and clouds, below is one of the results of our photoshoot.

Wed, 18 May 2011 10:38:00 -0700 Improving Weather conditions on Islay http://isleofislay.posterous.com/improving-weather-conditions-on-islay http://isleofislay.posterous.com/improving-weather-conditions-on-islay

Sunday and Monday were miserable days, weatherwise that is. We haven't seen the sun and Tuesday wasn't much better although there were some dry spells. Today was a different story, there were some showers but some beautiful clear spells as well and we were glad we saw the sun again. We spent the morning having a nice beach walk at Machir Bay and in the afternoon we gave Annika a good time at the playground in Bowmore where we met the Lady of the Isles! Have a look at the very high tide of Loch Indaal, seen from Bridgend. Only two more days left before we leave for the mainland on Saturday morning....

Sun, 15 May 2011 02:33:00 -0700 Oystercatcher in Flight at Claggain Bay Islay http://isleofislay.posterous.com/oystercatcher-in-flight-at-claggain-bay-islay http://isleofislay.posterous.com/oystercatcher-in-flight-at-claggain-bay-islay

The last weeks have been quite windy from time to time which prevented me from using the telelens every day. There were however some good opportunities for the big lens too and this last week I've tried to take pictures of Oystercatchers in flight, they are amongst my favourite birds on Islay. Below is one of my attempts.

I looked outside this morning and noticed that we have very wet and grey weather on Islay this morning, not the stuff you want to wake up for. It's only a couple of days ago that we spent a lovely afternoon at Claggain Bay so here is a nice picture of sunny Claggain Bay to cheer you (and me) up!
