For Something a Bit Different …

by patricia emerson mitchell2 Comments on For Something a Bit Different …

If you don’t follow me anywhere else, you might not have realized we were away from home from the fourth of May until June eighteenth. I have a travel blog where I write daily when we are out and about.

We had a wonderful trip that felt like a number of trips rolled into one — we landed in London but very quickly headed to Scotland where we rented a car and headed to Isle of Skye. From there we went back to the mainland and spent time in the Scottish highlands. The rest of the trip included a number of places: some were small villages and some big cities. Should you wish to read about it best to start here, when we began our adventure.

If you aren’t at all interested, just enjoy this Highland cow, please.

Scotland, Travels

Ohhhhh Scotland!

I am going through our Great Glen Way walk photos. The majority of what I did was on the iPhone, as I was mostly documenting things and then blogging each evening on my pmtravelingtimes site. iPhone photos are just fine for a blog. When it comes to quality prints, the majority wouldn’t be great. But I think they would work for cards, so maybe I’ll eventually put together a Scotland box. You never know.

Anyway, I’m now on the day we were going from Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit (well, we were actually staying in Lewiston, but they are nearly one and the same). It was an amazing walk! Here are just a few iPhone shots I wanted to share.

And oh how I want to go right back! I mean LOOK at these shots! Ahhhh … so green!

Okay, okay, this could be from anywhere, really, but I promise it was taken when were were in Oban in May. I’m only now really looking through the (very few) images I shot using my Fuji rather than the iPhone. (Confession: I’m pondering leaving the Fuji home when we next travel. I tend to not think “photographically” as much when we are on our adventures. But time will tell.)

Anyway, I figured I’d finally post something here that wasn’t a flower. Of course it’s still flora. Go figure.
