I'm curled up on the living room sofa drinking a cup of coffee after a good night's rest in my own bed, glad to have gotten to spend a week in Scotland but very happy to be back home in Texas. Above and below are a few photos I took on my trip. My held-together-by-two-rubberbands-camera worked sporadically, at best, so that made taking any photograph at all an iffy enterprise.
Mostly I treasure the pictures I brought home in my head from the coach tours I took and my rambles on foot in Edinburgh.
Ah, Scotland:
rolling green hills brushed with paint-box colored flowers
still and rushing waters
quilt squares of laundry snapping on windy clotheslines
narrow clattering cobbled streets edged in black wrought iron lace
moss-blanketed headstones asleep at the feet of soaring, spiky church spires
damp stairs dipping down into and up from the respite of city gardens
and, towering above,
the stone walls of vast ancient castles
I hope to capture some Scottish colors and textures in fabric and thread in days to come.
