A popular site in Portknockie is Bow Fiddle Rock, a large rock about 50 feet high just off the coast. The quartzite rock has a large sea arch, which somewhat resembles the bow of a fiddle.
it's been 25 years since I last played the fiddle, and 30 since I took a lesson, but my friend Rens has kindly offered to teach me a few tricks so I unpacked it and blew off the dust and cobwebs
First trip to bow fiddle rock. Pleasantly suprised with how close it is to my partners family, so definitely one for the location bank.
This was also my first outing with my Srb nd1000 filter (and 10stop filters in general). Thanks.
Fiddled with this pic to hide the orange-peel paint effect, though you can see the rippled reflections on the larger sizes. Have whinged thoroughly about this model on the first pic. I would not have bought this myself, having decided I would save up and get a Minichamps version, but someone kindly bought me this for my birthday.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, even if it's a bit of a donkey! 1/18.
The main point of the hike was the fern forest, and wow, they were cool! Here's a shot of a little, young one.
Freya's violin's here! That's two years running she's had a musical instrument for her main present.
Roxanne Young... She plays the fiddle professionally, I first met her a few years ago through bands she plays with in Calgary, and she always has a great big grin, a delight for the crowds and also photographers...
A small Fiddle Jamboree just north of Calgary, had lots of fun and enjoyed lots of great music...
A sculpture called Scrolls -- but looking like two fiddle heads -- outside the New England Conservatory in the Back Bay. It's a work by David Phillips.
Chester, Connecticut, has a quaint village center with shops and restaurants. A while ago someone came up with a bumper sticker that said, "Chester, CT: We Know Where It Is." It's been a while since I saw one of those. I spent a sunny winter afternoon prowling the (two) streets of the village. Check below for what I saw through the shop windows..

It's fiddle time! I am not positive who this couple were. I think the man with the fiddle is Samuel Edward Huggins, the brother of my great-grandfather John W. Huggins (based on other photos I have of Samuel) , but I have yet to find any info to suggest Samuel played the fiddle. The photos on the mantle piece, what I can see of them, don't match other photos I have seen of Samuel's kin. He does look a lot like Samuel, though. I wonder what he's playing, especially if it is an old Irish tune that he might have heard from his father John Huggins who emigrated to the USA from County Monaghan (near Ballybay), in Ulster, Ireland, around 1832-1835, with his new bride, Nancy Williamson Huggins. Samuel's wife was Elizabeth Foster, who was born in Ulster, Ireland. (Photo album of Clara Huggins; photo dated as from May 1900).
My Dad, was born in 1920, the second and youngest son of a East Texas tenant farmer. His family always lived on and worked someone elses land. In his teenage years his older brother saved enough money to order a guitar from Sears. He was able to save enough for a Sears fiddle. During his high school years he played in a high school country band. I grew up hearing him and his friends play in the homes and on the porches of our friends after we enjoyed a freezer of ice cream. This fiddle has special memories for me.
