| Our rented cottage in the hamlet of Cove is the one in the centre. | It's a long walk to Firemore Beach... | but it is worth it! | Firemore Beach at its pristine best. | Jean and Flyte. |

|
| Jean and Flyte. | Red sails, but no sunset... | Isle of Ewe in Loch Ewe looking toward Aultbea. | Flyte loves this beach... | more everytime we visit. |

| The view from the cove at Cove. | Needs a little work... | starting with a roof! | Looking south over Loch Ewe. | A wild orchid along the Cove road. |

| Another view of Loch Ewe. | Another view of Loch Ewe. | Another view of Loch Ewe. | Firemore Beach with surf. | Oyster catchers at the north end of Firemore. |

|
| And off they go! | A crevasse near the tip of the headland. | The buildings at the WWII military base. | They overlooked the mouth of the huge natural harbour. | At one time the roof was covered with soil and heather as camouflage. |

|
|
| Wild yellow iris growing next to our driveway. | Even Flyte has to catch his breath now and then. | Sandpiper? | Inverewe Gardens... a National Trust site. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| In the walled garden. | The walled garden fron the shore side. | This was the only gardener we saw working. | But working very hard. | Fish and chips in Gairloch: a break from cooking. |

|
|
|
| Has anyone see my eggs? They were around here somewhere... | Never mind. | "So, I'm parking!" | Periwinkles? | Barnacles and mussels. |

|
| A distance view of Firemore Beach. | A seal in the bay in front of our cottage. | It basks there for hours... | More Flyte on the beach... | The headland to the north of Firemore. |

|
| Birdsfoot trefoil. | A tour ship visiting Loch Ewe. | Very choppy water that day. | This was the view from our cottage. | Sea thrift. |
