The puffin equivalent of going down to the pub.

Near the Isle of Canna in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland.

Sunlight is so beautiful when it has clouds to overcome.

(Ardvasar, Isle of Skye - this morning.)

The puffins on Canna are in an awful hurry…

Sigh…what an image of tranquility.

An almost elvish land of blue, looking toward the Skye bridge.  As contentious as this bridge was, even more so its previously scandalous tolls, it’s an impressive piece of engineering and design.  

Thank you ‘bluepueblo’ for an image that beckons me, sings the siren song of the Hebrides - my home.  The beautiful Old Man of Storr,” Bodach nan Storr.  Dinosaurs walked this land, you can match your foot to the the gigantic prints they left behind.  Racing clouds that seem to pull you with them, where are you taking me - I don’t care, I just want to go.

Have you ever fantasised about just getting away from the encumbrances of life, work, computer, phone and a never done ‘to do’ list?  Go to the Knoydart Peninsula on the west coast of Scotland, go to Doune and forget about the have to’s and start doing what you want to.  The scenery in this remote part of Scotland is breathtaking; wild and unspoiled with a profusion of wildlife.  Walk, sail, swim (if you’re hardy), frolic with the dolphins and just relax.  For more information, click on the link.  I’m off - are you coming?   

Doesn’t the eagle have such a majestic and fierce beauty?  This one was taken off the coast of north Skye, from a boat out of Portree.  If you should ever happen to be there, the Skipper of the Stardust takes people out.  No guarantee that you’ll see the king of the skies but isn’t he worth the wait…

For my friends in Perthshire who have been experiencing some damper conditions than this of late.  A little reminder of what is possible, if only.  So, say your sunshine spells and whatever you do, don’t hang laundry, that’s sure to bring the rain.  

Mediterranean Scotland, the photographer said!

How about this one as my day draws in.  I’m still sitting at the computer writing, looking at the grey-blue early evening sky and my thoughts are far away in Broadford Bay.  If I could rise to see that, I don’t think I’d mind getting up early at all.
