Around Lewis and Harris end of November

 I have had my last visitor of the year.  Pauline came up in June and was my first visitor too.  She only spent a couple of days so it was a quick tour around the main tourist spots on Lewis and Harris.  This time she had a week so we spent a little more time doing some photography.

We went to the west side of Lewis on the first day.  First stop was Bragar, then Shawbost and Dal Mor.  Lots of lovely waves.  There was a runner with a dog on Dal Mor then she went into the sea - very brave as Dal Mor is not the safest place to swim.  Luckily she wasn't swimming.

An attempt at in camera movement.  The gulls lifted up when the waves came in.  It was a freezing wind at Bragar

The whites remind me of merinque

Lots of foam

Oh no a wave is coming

Better run to shore

On Thursday we visited the Wobbly Dog of Lewis at Ness for soup and cheese scones.  We went to the bird hide too but there was nothing on the loch and we were soaked on the way back.  Went to No Time to Die at An Lanntair.  I thought it was a bit same old same old but Pauline enjoyed it.

The weather wasn't the best for photography so I showed Pauline a bit more of Stornoway on Friday

Saturday was a day for Harris.  We stopped at the waterfall on the road to Renigadale.  A lovely spot and we just managed to get back to the car before we got soaked again.  Had lunch at the little beach at Scarista Mhor and then to Manish before driving home.

Sunday saw us in Valtos and Uig which we hadn't managed on Pauline's first visit.

Spotted this raven on the Pentland road

I thought this was a raven going by when we were at Valtos but it is a juvenile eagle

walked to the secret beaches at Mealasta in the evening light

Lots of rainbows and lots of rain

That's it for now.
