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.

I love to revisit my photos from past trips. If I scroll quickly through the ones I made while on our Douro walk it really reminds me of what wonderful walks we had! This was from a day where, toward the end, we hit a good amount of rain. Obviously, though, it had also rained earlier (the mud we had to avoid walking through made that quite obvious!). Photos from our travels are often cross-posted, appearing as well on my traveling times blog.

Looking Back

This is certainly not an image I would print, but that doesn’t mean I won’t share it! This was from a very special evening in Florence, when Dan and I walked up to the Piazzale Michelangelo. I had no idea what it would be like, and this crowd was something else! Shortly after this photo, a man who was singing behind all of us managed to get everyone’s attention and soon many turned around, so of us standing, facing him, and singing along. What a fun memory!

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!
