Happy Halloween!

A beautiful autumn evening

Goodnight storm

After storm force gales and heavy rain, 

the volume outside gentles,

and the sun sets peacefully.

A beautiful Saturday evening on the beach

The bay was calm and air crisp.

While this hatchling finally overcame her sand aversion.

Tastes awful, though, doesn't it?

Funny

A beautiful start to the day

As the sun comes up here in Orkney, the sky is often painted in these beautiful hues.

As autumn dabbles in and out, the mist returns, our wooly winter duvet, and gently softens the world.

Wishing you a gentle start to your week.

Sunday

Today, with the sun shining down on the water, it was easy to imagine heaven on earth.

GBBO Chocolate week

The shortest judge tests the cake's appearance.

She tastes it.

Tests it for it's beautifying and hair styling qualities....

And it's a winner!

Climbing trees, waiting for appointments.

Picking daisies in the grass.

On a lovely,

sunny day.
