Although it wasn't clear when the day began, it was to be a wonderful weather day which meant that parking the car
at Glen Brittle and finding the trail to the Fairy Pools was a wonderful activity
though we started down the path worrying that it was too slippery and too steep
though there were enticing waterfalls along the way
and nice views into the distance
as we came to the stream that would define our journey
and though ti looked like not much, it gave rise to our first pool of water where the color and clarity were to be seen
and the waterfalls were growing in height and power
as we admired the purple flowers
and again looked forward
as the pools became more colorful
and the rock formations more impressive and so it was rocks, waterfalls and pools for a while

Back at our room, we were greeted with the evening's dinner menu
and then strolled the grounds down to our local beach
of rocks
even at the water's edge
and with land across the way
as Suzanne gathered shells
and I looked out into the distance
before we climbed off the beach
and admired some of our finds
and in memories of previous walks, the ferns
and flowers
before Suzanne posed on the beach
and I pondered the difference between the black and lighter rocks (is that the tide level?)
and we took pictures of the ever elusive purple flowers that had brought us here (or, their cousins did)
and the Kinloch Lodge life preserver
as we headed back towards the lodge and recorded some of the flowers along the way
and the flowers in the garden
ahead of the main building
and the building where we stayed
and the setting that we had enjoyed
before I recorded a few flowers by our building and we rested before dinner.
And once again, dinner did not disappoint starting with Suzanne's Pims with fruit
and my beer
and moving on to the canapes
and the soup course
and Suzanne's wine
through which I tried to take artistic photos
and the bread
and my heather ale
and then the next courses for each of us
