Tulip, Dunvegan Castle garden
Dunvegan Castle is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of clan MacLeod for 800 years. Originally designed as a fortress to keep people out, today you can tour an award-winning castle and Highland estate steeped in history and clan legend, delight in the beauty of its formal gardens, take a boat trip to see the Loch Dunvegan seal colony, stay in one of our five charming holiday cottages, browse in one of our shops which feature quality local and Scottish gifts, or satisfy your appetite at the MacLeod Tables Cafe.

“They tried to stop her, but they failed miserably. They overlooked her, tried to discourage her, and sabotage her, but she persevered through it all with her head held high. They talked behind her back and plotted against her, but they didn’t realize that they were messing with an unstoppable, resilient Black Queen. She’s ambitious, intelligent, self-confident, and bold. She’s a Phenomenal Black Queen that didn’t have to compromise her integrity to get ahead. She’s genuinely happy, successful, and free to be herself. She can, she does, she wins!”

A rare Saturday working of 6S45 presented a rare winter opportunity to see this working in daylight hours, and fortunately this coincided with an agreeably sunny day. A little after 9am 66744 is seen approaching Winning Signal box only a mile or so into it's journey.
The substantial puddle is an indication of the quantity of rain that has fallen over the past few weeks.

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE – ELVIS PRESLEY
Sometimes in life we come full circle
I see a footprint of my beginning
and here I am back at the start
I see the people who tried to stop me winning
but I rise above them; and leave them far behind
I draw a line in shifting, whispering grains of sand
and something deep inside me drives me on
no looking back; I am complete; I understand
sometimes in life we cannot win them over
it's not our job; it's for a greater Hand
and He will guide me on my journey
bring me safely to the shore
where angels sing; rejoice and hold me
and I will not be frightened any more
He sees in us the pain; the human burden
He sees the weight that life and people bring
He knows how much; He knows and He is certain
He will not give us more than we can take
so that in our hearts and souls we'll always sing
and when at last our cup is brimming over
He lays his Hand upon our heads and soothes our brow
and we feel the greatest love that ever found us
and we are comforted and lighter; it is a miracle somehow
and once more we are peaceful
finding joy in simple things
as darkness; shadows and all our plights
are left behind and taken care of;
whisked away on angel's wings
and soon the lines of strain are smoothed; not furrowed
as clouds reveal the stars of wonder and ethereal light
and we begin to live at last the ever after; forget tomorrow
this moment we exist; and in this moment
I am complete; I am content right here, right now.

Just found this, my first experiment in a macro of a dragonfly, albeit with antiquated (1st generation) Canon SX IS. Anyway, this is a Western Pondhawk, the largest of the local Dragonflies with a wingspan of 3.25 inches. Quite an extreme from the damsel I just uploaded. Even with this, my thrd year with damsels and dragons, I was fascinated with the wings and flight.
an Oxeye daisy fights its way through the reddened iron ore water at an old iron ore mine. She's winning!
I'm quite sure many award winning togs do this sort of thing, a wee tweek and a bit of added pazzazz. It makes a prettier picture and that's what we try to do isn't it? No matter what Loch Shiel looks pretty special a lot of the time. Best loch in Scotland! It's not always grey here.

No, not this photo, but if I had managed to get there for the sunrise, who knows, it could have been award winning. If you follow Lynne Berry (and if you don't, why not?) then you will know that I agreed to met her and her donkey at this location for sunrise. The coloured light that morning was spectacular. I know because I viewed it for the whole journey from Craster to Lindisfarne. I just got there too late.But still, always fun capturing these upturned boat sheds and that castle.
Now Ethan Winning has been posting some terrific shots of a variety of dogs every Monday for a while now as Dog-Day Monday, but this is just a one- off. Taken at the Chipman Show 'n' Shine five years ago, I asked this lady if I could grab a shot of this beast. She told me the name of the breed, but I can not remember what it was. In doing a bit of googling, I am not positive, but could be an Irish Wolfhound.
Now it may appear that I was in really close with an ultra wide angle to make it appear larger, but I was standing upright and a was back. Surely the large dog I have ever seen. My sister used to have a Great Dane and it was not where near as large. Only a quick snapshot, but I just had to share.

Class winning 1931 Chrysler Imperial Dual-Cowl Phaeton by LeBaron, with all the bells, whistles and Bling to set you well apart from the hoi-paloi in their Chevys and Fords.
Introduced for the 1931 model year, the Chrysler Series CG Imperial was larger, more powerful and more luxurious than its predecessor. Styled by Al Leamy, the Imperial CG borrowed heavily from the Leamy-designed Cord L-29, and featured a v-shaped radiator, an elongated hood, flowing fenders and a split windshield with a steeper rake than the Cord. Amenities included passenger sun visors, adjustable seats, an adjustable steering column, hydraulic brakes, vibration-dampening rubber engine mounts, rust-proofed body and fenders, and laminated safety glass.
Starting at 'only' $3,575 for a LeBaron dual-cowl phaeton, full-custom options hiked the price significantly higher. Given the state of the U.S. economy in 1931, it’s not surprising that a mere 85 LeBaron dual-cowl phaetons were ordered by customers.
Power for all CG Imperials came from a new 384.83-cu.in. straight-eight L-head engine, rated at 125 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The dash from 0 to 60 MPH took in the neighborhood of 20 seconds, and the plus-size Imperial, which measured 17 feet from stem to stern, was reportedly capable of hitting 96 MPH.
