rock fish

when walking near the water, I'm always looking at rocks and this one stood out.  Looks like a fish don't you think?

rest stop

at the halfway point on the coastal walk which is 4km.  This rest stop was:sponsored by North East Inishowen Development Co.and the Donegal Co. Council.

out for a walk

house with a view

this is one of the houses you pass when you are walking on the shore coastal walk.  It faces Lough Foyle so it has a gorgeous view.

yard boat

Passed this yard boat  on the coastal walk last week and it was being cleaned out and a new coat of white paint was being applied to the cabin and blue paint for the trim.  The paint probably doesn't last more than a season or two due to the weather conditions.  This is the result and it looks good, nice and neat but unfortunately it still won't be able to float.  :)
Those houses you see in the background are holiday homes which means they are rented for outrageous fees for a week or more depending on availability.

the rainbow

This was the prize at the end of my coastal walk the other day.  It's amazing to see such beauty!

free little library

The free little library is located at the beginning of the shore walk which is straight ahead.  That's the kid's play ground you see in the background.  Heading out or heading back from your walk stop and take a look.   If you have a book to drop off, please do!  With the tourists coming in to town, the selection changes daily.  We usually drop off a book every now and then plus once in a while we do find one to take too :)

the playground

where kids play but make sure you read the sign before entering.

walking bruncrana

When we were in Buncrana, we got a look at their coastal walk.  It's so nice that these communities have places designed for people to walk without dealing with traffic.  It is different from ours in Moville.  Our shore line is very rocky where this is not but it fits in to their community well.  They even have a workout station (see the 4th photo below).  Ireland promotes walking and people do take advantage of the many opportunities to be out in nature.  There are walking clubs and hill walker groups throughout the country where people can pay a small fee or join the group and participate with others who like to walk.  Many towns, large and small, have some kind of walking trail built in to the landscape.  Reading that signpost, I know we have lots more to explore.  Heading out to a walk!  Hope you all have a great weekend!
