Speaking of Holidays…
Well, first, I wanted to share something with you. I entered a photo contest! I checked, used the auto-levels and auto-colour just to be sure I hadn’t accidentally used a different setting. All came out the same. I entered this photo – taken in January ’13 and first shared (with the above caption) with you […]

Festiscary
Tomorrow is December! ��It is the start of the holiday season – from Bodhi the Buddhist Day of Enlightment to Hannuka to Christmas – and there is always the debate over “Happy Holidays” vs “Merry Christmas.” Me, I am a “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Yule” or “Blessed be.” �� I was raised with Christmas but […]

Rock’n’Roll Tattoo, Glasgow aka My New Ink!

Linlithgow Palace
Welcome to the first of my posts about my trip. With 978 pictures to choose from, it’s the first of many. *laughs* Unfortunately, since I’d forgotten my camera, they’re all taken with my phone. We could have taken the effort to find and purchase a new camera but I had limited resources (both financially and […]

Good morning!
Hello, my lovely people! I have returned from Scotland and am therefore back to blogging. I have nearly a thousand pictures to go through and edit before I share them with you. Scotland was absolutely gorgeous, both in the scenery and the people. They were absolutely amazing and, almost to a person, extremely […]

It’s a Lovely Dam Site
No, really. I have photos of the Parkhill Dam Resevoir today. Okay, so right now, I am finishing the last minute packing and getting ready to head to the airport. This blog is being written a week in the past. *cue spooky time travel music* I am equally excited for this trip and terrified. […]
