A rather fine portrait of Dad Crofter taken with my second-best plastic camera.

Still makes me laugh when I see this snap. The ducks winding up Dad Crofter with the old step on the hosepipe trick. Or should have been.

Perhaps it was the cool morning that turned the water to solid. It was midsummer's day nearly after all.

Eight years ago eh?
Was it that long ago?
Seems like yesterday.

This iteration of the chicken accommodation was I believe based on Bauhaus design.

The photo on the other hand was based on Wabi Sabi principles

Ah yes, this was the day a year or three back when the kind Crofter went to Dingwall in order to adopt Eric the bull.

Oh I remember it well. Scrambled egg on toast at a cafe on the way there from Ullapool after the ferry crossing then Strawberry tartlette after the adoption process had been finalised. Oh what a day we had.
