Fall has arrived with fluttering leaves and the odd rain shower but despite those clear signs the sun keeps showing up. We took advantage this weekend and squeezed in two local adventures to see seal pups in Martin's Haven's rocky coves and pick summer's hard work, blackberries!
Enlarge this so you can get some geographical context.
We couldn't get down to the coves but that is probably a good thing as some of the pups were only just born.
They blend in very well! The longer we searched the beach the more we spotted. Binoculars really helped.
Ayla enjoyed being snuggled in during the walk. We'll show her the pictures someday.
From here you can see the wildlife haven islands. They are also a popular sailing destination for locals.
What lucky cows!
We had to keep Timmy on a lead so he wouldn't annoy the cows.
Nearby there are also sheep grazing in picturesque fields of straw bales.
Our walk back to the car. It just started to sprinkle!
We picked blackberries on the coastal path near our house. It was very fruitful!
Ayla managed to stay awake for some of this adventure.
Timmy loves blackberries and even picks them himself if a ripe one is in his reach.
Yum!!
