True Colours Thursday - Silver.

Silver is one of my favourite colours.
My problem this week has been deciding just what to post!

This silver-coloured jewellery box was given to me by my youngest son - as was the leaf necklace shown with it.

This is a close-up of the lovely pattern on the lid.

I thought I'd found enough silver pictures.
Then I realised that my kitchen is full of silver-coloured items!

True Colours Thursday is hosted by Poopsie.
If you fancy joining the fun, just post something silver and pop over to leave a comment on her blog. Next week's colour is BLUE.

ABC Wednesday, Round 4 - D.

This week is an easy one for me.
Obviously,
D
is for
DUNGLOE

The original Irish name means The Grey Steppingstones.

Just to the left of the top picture can be found the Dungloe Day Centre.

The next sign I want to show you is that of Doherty's Travel. Doherty's runs buses throughout the area, and also hires coaches for trips as far afield as continental Europe.

And here are their town garages, and their booking office.

When your trip is over, Doherty's also have a restaurant on Main Street - nothing fancy, but the meals are filling and you can take them with you if you're short of time.

It's a colourful building!

ABC Wednesday is hosted by Mrs Nesbitt.

Monochrome Monday

Another view of the bridge I posted on Saturday, taken from a different angle.

Monochrome Monday is hosted by Aileni.

More participants can be found through the Maniacs Linky.

Odd Shots On Monday

It's amazing what you can find while shopping.
This week I was looking for some rice, and this is what I found.

It claims to have an easy opening bag, but it looks to me as if the box is even easier to open!

Odd Shots is hosted by Katney. You'll find many more Oddities over there!

I'm a Fairy.

I was over visiting Debbie at Tiny Treasures, and she's been discovering her Fairy Name. Naturally, I had to have a go!
This is my Fairy Name - though I think I'm a rather unlikely fairy!
I should produce a photo - but then again, maybe not!!!

Your fairy is called Columbine Elfglitter

She is a cheerful sprite.

She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows.

She is only seen in the light of a shooting star.

She wears lilac and purple like columbine flowers. She has delicate green wings like a cicada.

Saturday PhotoHunt - Bridge(s).

The theme this week is bridge(s).

This foot bridge spans the Dungloe River near the sea shore. It's narrow and surprisingly steep. On the right is an unsurfaced carpark, on the left a field and a kiddies' playground. I would not like to push a stroller over this bridge!

Edited later to show the bridge as I'm about to cross it.
It looks a bit like the bridge to nowhere.

TNChick hosts the PhotoHunt.
Visit her to find more participants or to join the fun.

Happy Hunting.

True Colours Thursday - Orange.

This week's colour is
ORANGE

Shadows on a wall.

Steps and railings.

A life-belt on the pier.

True Colours Thursday is hosted by Poopsie. It's fun and easy to play!

ABC Wednesday, Round 4 - C.

Time for another stroll around Dungloe.

This is the old Chapel, now a Community Centre.

This is the new Chapel that replaced it.

Just a short distance along Chapel Road are some concrete creatures.

Continuing along the road we find this sign pointing to the Cope Customer Car Park.

And here is the car park

The Templecrone Co-operative was started by one man in 1906 to help local people buy animal feed at a lower price than the big merchants were offering. It started in one room of a small house - and grew!
This is taken on Main Street, and shows just two of the buildings of the biggest department store in the area.

Further down Main Street, just over the river bridge I showed last week, is a side road leading to the sea. Although the Republic of Ireland is predominantly of the Roman Catholic faith, there are a few Protestants. My last photo shows the Church of Ireland building, taken from the refurbished pier.

Well, that's my walk for this week.

ABC Wednesday is brought to you by Mrs Nesbitt, and many more participants can be found through the Linky page.
