Description

Hi all.It was late in the day and we were on our first day of touring Scotland when suddenly the overcast skies turned to bright sunshine.This was ironic because I was going to be taking garden shots which are best shot under non-sunny conditions,(at least as far as I'm told).But the sun was gloriously white!And it felt so warming and summer-like!Off came the multiple sweat-shirts,lol,and Scotland was suddenly transformed. Okay.So the highlights are a bit much.But the colors are beautiful and the shadows are long.And I'm grateful it looks even half-way decent because I have no idea what I'm doing,lol!I resized it and framed it.That's all.It is what it is.To me it looks like an impressionist painting waiting to be done.And maybe i will one day... I also want to thank those of you who tried to see my last upload,"Tomnaverie View"Tomnaverie Some of you were kind enough to tell me you wanted to see it but couldn't.I've resized it temporarily for you. I have never done a link before and I seriously doubt this will work!All I can say is I'll fix it as soon as I can if it doesn't. Have a great one everybody!I'm still trying to get through my e-bots from when I was gone.Please be patient with me. As always,thanks for looking!-Marlene :)
