These photographs were taken recently when I visited Bangor Walled Garden. I have just returned from a weekend on Copeland Island, without Internet and sometimes without light so therefore was not able to see or comment on your posts so hope you understand. Just enjoy these flowers. I do not know all the names of them.
I
hope you enjoyed seeing all these images and it is
wonderful still to have so much blooming in October. I am linking with THROUGH MY LENS. Many thank for visiting and also to those who leave comments.
These are my contributions for the SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY. This week I visited Islay Island, Scotland for the day. Later in the week I attended a Tea Dance and workshops at the Ulster Hall in Belfast which were organnised by Kaleidscope. Enjoy this post.

1.Leaves
As it is autumn, the above and below images are some of the LEAVES I found to photograph in Northern Ireland. A wonderful time of the year.
2. A Hat
The man in this straw HAT below was waiting to go into the Tea Dance and when I arrived back off the train into my town after the dance, I knew I needed another 'HAT' shot so I went into a shop and this sale assistant was a great sport and very happy to wear one of their hats for me.
3. Stop
As I said, I visited Islay and this shot above was were our boat had that come to a STOP at the Marina. Below the image was taken at the RSPB Reserve when we were having our lunch STOP. I was the only woman with 7 men on this trip!
4. My Town
MY TOWN is called Bangor and is in County Down, Northern ireland and as you
can see it is a coastal town. These
photographs were taken one evening when my friends and myself went for a walk on the coastal path in an area
known as ‘Pickie’.
5. Up
When we were travelling back from Islay, the skipper
took us to see Rathlin Island to look for more birds. Now the light was fading
quickly however high UP on the cliff
is the most unusual Upside Down Lighthouse. You can really only see it from the water below it. So this was a special extra for me from the trip.
One of the reasons we made the trip to Islay was to see the 22,000 recently arrived Barnacle Geese and the image above you certainly can see some of them rising UP in the sky. Just in case anyone does not know what these geese look like, I have added an image of them below.
These are a few extras images for UP because I managed to take these shots between workshops when we were having a coffee break. This juggler was practicing for a later performance. Balloons are UP and decorating the room.
I had a 12 second video of the juggler. CLICK HERE if it does not appear below.
I hope you enjoyed how I interpreted the word prompts this week using my photographs and video. I am linking this post with SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY. Many thanks for visiting and also to all who leave comments.
I have
another post planned but I just had to show you Dot, the baby Llama at 10 days
old. Buy has she grown and filled out in those days and the whole family are
back together now.
Isn't she adorable and I am linking this post with SATURDAY CRITTERS. Many thanks for visiting and also to Mark for sending these photos to share with us. Also thanks to those who leave comments.
These are all shots from last Monday where I took Ken and
Joanne from California out birding. The
first shot is at the Flood Gates, the next series of photos are taken from the
hides at the RSPB WOW centre in Belfast and the final 2 shots are as I was
driving out of Crawfordsburn Country Park. If you missed yeterday's post of wonderful autumn colours as I drove into the park, CLICK HERE. or Wednesday's post of the sunset and silouettes, CLICK HERE.

Apart from the two obvious fence shots below, I hope Tex does not mind that I have thrown in some of
our autumn colours. These autumn leaved trees were the fence line to this road. These shots were taken as I entered Crawfordburn Country Park last Monday after I had taken Ken and Joanne to their hotel in Belfast. I do have other colours than green in Northern Ireland! Enjoy.
I hope you enjoyed seeing our autumn colours and I am linking this post with GOOD FENCES.
Many thanks for your visit and also to those who leave comments.
