At the end of the loch in Clais Fhearnaig, which was my lucnh spot for the day, is this dreamy waterfall. Lovely sat there, out of the wind, in the sun with the water bubbling over the rocks.
Four dice in a row each showing 4 on their face, with four ones on top, reflected 4 times in a mirror.
After making it up to the ridge we now follow this deer fence up to our first sub-summit of Broom Hill, then it's a small climb from there to reach Pressendye.
Pressendye is just a small Graham of 620 meters (2034 feet), but a 15 Km (9 mile) circuit definitely stretched the legs.

A macro look at the smoke gently rising and billowing from the chimney of a small gingerbread smoker house, as the incense pyramid inside slowly smoulders.

peony, (genus Paeonia), genus of about 30 species of flowering plants (family Paeoniaceae) known for their large showy blossoms. All but two species are native to Europe and Asia, and several species are cultivated as ornamentals and for the floral industry.
European common Peony
garden peony
There are three distinct groups of peonies: the herbaceous Eurasian peonies, the Asian tree, or moutan, peonies, and the North American peonies. The herbaceous peonies are perennials that grow to a height of almost 1 metre (about 3 feet). They have large, glossy, much-divided leaves borne on annual stems produced by fleshy rootstocks. In late spring and early summer they produce large single and double flowers of white, pink, rose, and deep crimson colour. The fragrant Chinese peony (P. lactiflora) and the European common peony (P. officinalis) have given rise to most of the familiar garden peonies. P. lactiflora has provided hundreds of cultivated varieties, including the Japanese types, with one or two rows of petals surrounding a cluster of partially formed petals in the centre (petaloid stamens).
The tree peonies are shrubby plants with permanent woody stems. The plants sometimes attain a height of 1.2 to 1.8 metres (about 4 to 6 feet). They begin flowering in late spring. The blossoms vary in colour from white to lilac, violet, and red. Tree peonies require a hot dry summer season for best growth, and they can be grafted in late summer or autumn on the roots of herbaceous peonies. Horticultural varieties have been developed from the Chinese species P. suffruticosa. A race of hybrids, developed by crossing P. suffruticosa with the yellow Chinese P. delayavi, has both single and double flowers, sometimes tinged with red. Many varieties have been grafted onto supportive rootstock and so cannot be readily propagated by simple division. Peonies are seldom grown from seeds except in breeding programs; the seed takes about two years to germinate.
Two peony species are native to North America. Brown’s, or western, peony (P. browni) ranges from California to Montana, and California peony (P. californica) is found only along the Pacific coastal mountains of California and Mexico.
This was a really fun day to go shoot pics as I just purchased a new Nikon D300......it was so exciting! Good thing I had the NIkon strap around my neck here as I balanced it on the railing....

Popular little hamburger joint in my city found among the downtown buildings. This was a drive by capture and I was pretty happy with the clarity on this handheld shot.

The topic for Macro Mondays for September 12 is Begins With The First Letter of My First Name (which is R).
The works of sculptor Jo Hess are found throughout the U.S. in sculpture parks, gardens, airports and private homes.
Although she completed many commissions in the form of busts and life-size portrait sculptures, her personal favorite pieces were those which represented the beauty and grace she saw in her home town of Mobile, Alabama.
This sculpture is titled ‘Flora’. It is a life-size figure of a young woman kneeling in her garden. Editions of ‘Flora’ are found in several sculpture parks throughout the U.S., as well as in museum gardens and in private collections. It is Jo Hess’ signature piece.

Dining at the Pyrofani Fish Taverna in Skiathos we couldn't decide what to have, so went for the mixed fish. Sea Bream, Mussels, squid & Sardines, what's not to like!!
Approaching the far end of Loch Muick, near Glas Allt, the Pine and Autumn Larch trees are reflected in the perfectly calm waters of Loch Muick, deep in the Scottish Highlands, on a beautiful Autumn morning.
Our house in Scotland being sold, one week before we move away back to Dinnington, where I grew up and where my family still is, including the grandkids, we decided to take one last circuit around Loch Muick, the first place we explored when we moved up to Scotland 15 years ago. It's still as stunning as ever and I will certainly miss this kind of scenery.

We're camping at Bargara (out of Bundaberg) . I went to the beach, before sunrise this morning & the pink sky was beautiful & reflecting on the sand at low tide.
I've taken Soooo many sunrise photos, and on a morning like this, the beauty gave me a big Smile & joy in my heart.
A gentle camera movement helps to give another element to the scene.

—Que es puta, pero ante todo una dama— le susurraba Kat a Eidel discretamente cuando hablaba acerca de Muriel, la meretriz de la ciudad.
Katerine Dior era la sastre más famosa y perfeccionista de todo Oxenfurt. Una mujer delicada, menuda y estirada como los cuidados moños que lucía, aunque también igual de graciosa. Era famosa por su espléndido trabajo con las mejores telas de exportación y una costura exquisita, además de su discreción máxima.
La modista era de costumbres. Sentarse en la mecedora para coser, ir a la posada a tomar su copita de vino y su plato de torreznos, regar las flores de su jardincito y, ante todo, era una tierna mujer que no acostumbraba a los gestos cariñosos y le gustaba guardar las distancias. El caso de Eidel era el contrario, era efusiva y cariñosa como la que más, quizá demasiado para el gusto de Katerine.
—¡Que muchacha más asalvajada!— se le quejaba escandalizada a Muriel nada más conocerla —Es un poco asilvestrada como su animal...— decía en referencia su perrita, Pandora.
Sin embargo, por mucho que quisiera ocultarlo, y pese a aparentar una formalidad y modales exquisitos, la costurera adoraba a Eidel.
La señorita Dior era de las que se ponían rígidas cual palo de escoba ante la efusividad y afectos de la elfa o cuando su perrita se colaba bajo sus faldones. Pero aunque Kat se empeñara en ocultarlo, en realidad esa elfa se estaba haciendo hueco en su resguardado corazón.
Pasaban las mañanas conversando en el puesto de la panadería donde trabajaba Eidel o pasaban tardes tomando té en la salita privada del burdel de Muriel. Karerine se empeñaba en convertir a la elfa en una señorita y Eidel se dejaba aconsejar por la sastre que con el paso de los meses se fue convirtiendo en una gran amiga.
En ocasiones Eidel se sorprendía al descubrir nuevas facetas de ella.
Los repentinos arrebatos de ira y pasión de la contestataria sastrecilla, la voz del pueblo, no dejaban a nadie indiferente. Era una de las que más se preocupaba por el resto de ciudadanos y sus habituales frases eran tal que así:
—SOIS UNOS COBARDES, DAD LA CARA A ESTAS POBRES GENTES— vociferaba Katherine hacia los guardias del cuartel alguna que otra mañana, uniéndose a las rebeliones.
—¡¡A MI LA GUARDIAAAA!!— reclamaba como mujer de armas tomar.
Eidel al principio manifestaba una perplejidad absoluta, sorprendida por la reacción de la costurera, para nada la imaginaba con tal carácter. Sobre todo cuando estaba acostumbrada a sus formas delicadas y elegantes como cuando saludaba y se aproximaba con elegancia con sus clásicos saludos:
—Muy buenas tardes, señoras mías—.
En resumidas cuentas, esa mujer era digna de recordar. Y pisar Oxenfurt sin haber tratado de profundizar en ella, era igual que beber agua toda una vida sin haber catado nunca un chupito de anís.
Cycling up the Glen to reach Carn Liath once again, I couldn't resist stopping at these falls for a rest and a drink of fresh water. The last time I was here it was really icy, not so this time.

Thema: Bergbau / Topic: Mining
I do every year a calendar with shots from around a year ago to a specific topic. The topic for 2019 is "water".
So this view encompasses the feeling of spring in the mountains. Snow is just gone, the grass is brown, but already first flowers coming through. When you're at a good place the water is crystal clear though it is snow smelting. So this will be most likely my choice for Mai 2019.
„Condiments are the macro topic today. Just in time for the 'Red Week', just threw a few salt crystals on the cherry tomato, and killed two birds with one stone - or what do you think...?"
„Gewürze ist heute das Makro-Thema. Passend zur ‚Roten Woche‘ einfach mal ein paar Salzkristalle auf die Cherry-Tomate geworfen, und gleich zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe geschlagen - oder was meint ihr…?“
