Sunday the 2nd of September 2012
I travelled out to Portpatrick today hoping to catch the last of the folk festival.
Shucks, I was too late.
However it was a lovely day, and I decided to take some pictures.
I couldn't resist taking some people pictures, that's the reason for the opening paragraph.
I hope you enjoy them as I enjoyed taking them.
For the second part of this post, I went over to Lochinch Castle for the annual food and drink festival. 
A busy pub
Fishermen and chips
The Putting Green
Taking a break from whale watching
They don't look dressed for the Southern Upland Way
Plenty boats today
The bikers are in town
Harbour bound
Nice motor mate !
An array of strange creatures
The big anchor
Both main waterfront hotels were busy
I like this view
Go on little one, have a lick...it's vanilla

I also took some video of these guys. They were good.
A very enjoyable day
Shucks (I haven't heard that word in like eons) so don't sue me for using it - will you.... Now, shucks how could anyone sue you after that poignant and sweet disclaimer (I might borrow your disclaimer) but you won't sue me ...... will you!?
ReplyDeleteLoved ALL of the photos, great people shots Jim, the Doggie Dozen would love you but I reckon you might hear from the two blokes in the background... ;)
Its a tricky one Jim.Great group of photographs.People make good subjects and add colour but you never know how they will react.
ReplyDeleteI had a negative reaction a few weeks ago after I asked if I could take a photo of some bikers I,d just met.That didn,t go down well.Same with gangs in the past.I,ve learned I,ve not got the balls or the charm for it.
Mind you I,m not too keen on folk doing it to me either. I,m also an ugly bugger :)
How could anyone possibly object to being included in the world famous "Glebeblog". Portpatrick traditionally has one of the best folk weekends in the West of Scotland it is such an idyllic setting for such an event.
ReplyDeleteNice post Jim. You sell Portpatrick well with your pics.
ReplyDeleteJim, you can't have missed me by all that much if the sun is still out. Actually I left sometime shortly after four and there was still music going on at a few tables round the Waterfront. Though I see you've managed to catch Gus without an instrument in his hands so perhaps it died down fairly fast after I left. Top notch weekend of music as it usually is at Portpatrick.
ReplyDeleteJim, great pics of your day! I see you have some sunshine sticking around.. Oh, you will have to remove the pictures of my castles, um.. wait a minute, those arent mine! oops.. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments and the quips people. I remember the days when we could film and photograph our kids at school. It's a different world these days. I can quite understand people's privacy concerns. A friend of ours a few years ago filmed and uploaded to the internet her daughter's graduation ceremony, and had to take it down because someone in the background objected.
ReplyDeleteWhen I upload my walk pictures, my fellow ramblers all know they're likely to be in the local press. As Bob says, it's a tricky one.
That wee blue boat is adorable. Makes me wanna wear wader wellies and cast off.

ReplyDeleteyou would get hired at any travel magazine.
ReplyDeleteI came by way of your blog page and terrific photo share when my friend who lives in Priest Hutton Lancs, wrote me about her favourite holiday place (Portpatrick) and due to the fact that I reside in NSW Australia, I had no idea where this was; I went ahead to Google and came up with your link: some very fine photos indeed and some lovely places over there on your side of the planet! Kudos for an entertaining and fun blog. All the best . . . . .(Natasha O'Sullivan, Australia)
