Went on a fossil hunt with Helen today. We were heading for the Mull of Galloway but stopped at a few places on the way to practise.
Didn’t take long to find something —
but it wasn’t a fossil —
and neither was this – some people- with their head in the clouds – are easily side-tracked —
Further down the coast the Birdcage Development by Drumore Harbour might be a fossil all too soon as work has been held up on it for many years – apparently due a planning dispute —
and it will be a long time before the company yacht – currently laying on it’s ribs out back is ready take fare paying passengers —
Shame cos the customers would have a wonderful view from the air conditioned top deck —
Now this ol’ water butt is part-way to being a fossil already. I would love to take her home with us —
Likewise the vintage ERF with a fossilised Fergie tractor on it’s back —
I could scratch around old trucks and boats all day – but duty calls —
Looks as if Helen has found something interesting —
Could be auditioning for a ‘rear of the year’ competition but has in fact found some colourful lichen on a step stone or shelf built into the wall —
The old boy did eventually find his fossil in this recently split rock —
and not to be outdone – —
Helen found her own fearless fossil in danger of being blown off the clifftop —
A lovely way to spend the day —
fossil hunting on the Mull of Galloway —
What more can a guy say 🙂
