(And a non monochrome post!!)
Count down to the trip begins!! So much still to do. I’m posting less but trying to keep up. 13 days to Edinburgh!! (first stop)
North Sea promenade on the Firth of Forth
Liffey River, Dublin
We’ve had a bit of cloud lately though still warm, so while I slowly pull last minute arrangements together for abroad and at home I know it’s coming!! I’ll be frantic in the last few days.
But there is still
Sunrise
sunrise over the selkirk estuary
a morning on the farm
Sunset
Thetis Cove at sunset
sunset kayakers
And everything in between
Go view royal boomsticks
Ahhh Clive, a garden and a library and a glass of wine
PS: loosely quoted from Cicero and do note Robert Marsala’s wonderful book ( In a Different Light) at the bottom right. It’s an inspiration.
the runes of the gatekeeper's daughter- dedicated to Nick 
Sunrise, sunset, and all gorgeous! I know you’re excited about your trip, I cant wait to see your photos! ♥♥♥ ;^)

I love commenting on your blog, but sometimes conversation over ‘jam and tea’ would be so much nicer… 😉
Love the pic including Robert’s book. It is a great book to sit and ponder over!
Gorgeous pics too as always.

I’m afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are.”

Always look forward to your latest offerings Cybele. Love the Ha’penny Bridge and the ball game with the jet in the background. Like one or two of your commenters I believe Edinburgh is beautiful though I’ve never been north of Hadrian’s Wall.

You capture such beauty with that camera of yours.
Well, I live in the UK but have never been to Edinburgh, although would love to do so (preferably before Scotland declares independence and I need a passport to cross the border!). Edinburgh is actually 396 miles north of my town, which is a fair distance in UK terms but probably not far for someone from a country as huge as Canada.
