jewel drops and a fog roll
If I’m being honest, this day started out…bad. I wasn’t feeling like a photographer and it was hard to get up any enthusiasm for shooting.
But I’d come a long way and sure as hell didn’t want to squander the opportunity. And so I photographed the band of fog across the lake, partly obscured by the dew-laden leaves and branches. Now that I see the image, I can imagine the trees are standing in for my closed-off feelings that day.
(I’m better now. A lot.)

daisies, pushed up
One thing I’ve learned as a photographer is that no matter how alluring the Thing In Front Of Me is to photograph, it’s real important to turn around and see what else is there. In this case, while the Castle Stalker was indeed lovely in the dying light, how about the flowers and that wood-shingled shed that were right there? They’re nice, too.

trailer/falls
A farm trailer and a waterfall, also discovered because of the detour that I mentioned yesterday.
These waterfalls come and go, depending on how much rain there’s been. This one was rushing and just as I left the sound of it changed – and the amount of water noticeably increased. And on the other hand, when I looked at this place on a street-view map, the trailer was there but not one drop of water was flowing down the mountain.

mountains and ruins
We hadn’t planned on going on this road, but a car crash blocked the road we meant to take, necessitating a detour.
And what a detour it was…

the ragged end
These boats met their end on the shore of Salen Bay, on the Isle of Mull and now they are a photographic destination. I’m not sure how long they’ve been there, but the boat on the left has a tree growing in it.
