I managed to get 4 shots yesterday on our little photo walk down to Findochty and back. I actually can't remember visiting this location at low tide before so was really pleased to find a whole bunch of new compositions that I hadn't photographed in the past. This was one of my favourites but resulted in getting wet feet and legs. Totally worth it though as water soon dries! Taken on the coastline to the east of Findochty in Morayshire, Scotland.
Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and north-western Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 60065

Mt.Fuji from Mt.Fujimidake (1,078m)
富士見岳から見た富士山
It is Mt.Fujimidake located almost halfway
between Mt.Ryuso and Mt.Mafuji.
As the name suggests, I saw Mt.Fuji in front of me.
The azalea was in bloom.

Another from the archives, and another that was taken on the same day as the other two that I've posted this week. Was a good day.
“Perlan – the Pearl – is an immersive museum that showcases Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes and nature in an accessible and engaging way. Its impressive hands-on, interactive exhibits and shows explain the country’s landforms, geology and wildlife. State-of-the-art technology elevates Perlan from an ordinary museum to one that guests will find innovative and memorable.
Alongside a fascinating display that focuses on the characteristics of Iceland’s changing glaciers, visitors can step into a hundred-metre-long artificial ice cave. An estimated 350 tons of snow gathered from Icelandic mountains were used in its construction. In graphic contrast, the museum’s Forces of Nature exhibit addresses the country’s volcanic systems and geothermal activity.
Styrmir, the museum’s spectacular indoor geyser, shoots a jet of water 25 metres into the air through the central atrium.
In Perlan’s domed 150-seat planetarium, the spotlight turns to the Aurora Borealis. Utilising 8K projection and 7.1 surround sound, the breathtaking Áróra show takes guests on a spellbinding journey through the origins and legends associated with the Northern Lights, bringing it vividly – and reliably – to life.
Perlan’s striking architecture adds an extra dimension to a visit. Located on Öskjuhlíð, the tallest hill in Reykjavik, it’s an easily recognised landmark, comprising six water tanks that support a glass dome which floods the interior with light. The museum’s wraparound observation deck offers an uninterrupted 360° panorama of the Icelandic capital and its surroundings.
Perlan represents Iceland in a nutshell. As such, it makes an ideal first or last stop on every tourist’s itinerary, whether they plan to venture beyond Reykjavik or choose to remain in the capital.”

Surrounded by moss-draped live oaks and ornamental gardens, the Wesley House is now a place of tranquility. A hundred years ago the site was the hub of the Wesley Lumber Company, operating from 1890 until after World War I. Company holdings included a sawmill, planner mill and dry kiln with a dock to facilitate loading barges in Tucker Bayou for shipping lumber.

This scene is on my neighbor's land east of us. One section of their woods is covered in barberries.
