A popular site in Portknockie is Bow Fiddle Rock, a large rock about 50 feet high just off the coast. The quartzite structure has a large sea arch, which somewhat resembles the bow of a fiddle.

Small numbers of seabirds nest on the coastal cliffs. These include fulmar, black-legged kittiwake, common gull, razorbill and shag. Additionally common eider can be seen in and around the harbour and coves during the summer months.

Western Sword Fern fiddle head

This is a traditional norwegian musical instrument. The lower 4 strings resonate when the musician play the upper strings.

This particular instrument is quite old, and is currently just a decoration on my parents' wall.

ps. I took a lot more close pictures, but I don't know if there's any interest?

My darling new fiddle! Actually, it's old... really old. It's also French, and it's got a crack in the back under the soundpost that was repaired when I was one year old (which makes it affordable). She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts.

Providence, Rhode Island

This group of fiddlers was entertaining the crowd at an outdoor flea market along the Providence Waterfront this afternoon. They're reacting to a quip this spectator made after one of their songs. In addition to making them laugh, she did at least drop a couple of bucks into their open case.

Post processing started with a Warm Tone II filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, contrast, boost black, and boost white. A levels adjustment and a sepia photo filter were added in PSE.

During the teacher parent conference, his teacher told us how Taiga was excited about his creation of the orange butterfly. At home, he made a habitat and friends (bees). More recently he brought back the fiddle beetle (Mormolyce sp), and he was saying that he is going to work with Derek (entomologist friend) when he grows up. He used to say that he was going to work on biology with mommy and daddy. He has seen the fiddle beetle in Ultimate Bug-opedia book as well as The Book of Beetles. During the Halloween event at UAF museum, Derek showed him the specimen of a fiddle beetle and many other cool insects.

As the winter drags on I am anticipating the hunt to find new growth in the spring. These fiddle heads naturally show the golden ratio AND they are edible!
