shortly it would begin to rain
Actually, “Shortly it would begin to rain.” could have been the complete weather forecast for the whole time I was in Scotland.
It was almost always about to rain, and this photo was made just before another patch of cold rain fell on us. It wasn’t so bad, once you got used to it. Plus the clouds! They worked hard to enhance the photographs.

It might look too pretty to be real. But I promise you that Tobermory really IS this lovely.

behind the shops
Why, yes! I did turn down a small passageway behind some shops. How else would I have known that the slats in the reflection were generally parallel to the handrail on the steps?

when the trail seems unclear
When the trails seem unclear, it seems easy to keep your eyes to the ground, trudging along and hoping for the best.
But maybe a good idea is to look up and take stock of what’s actually there in front of you. It’s probably a lot different than the scary things your mind conjured up while you trudged along.

as the village awakes (a few stars remain)
The morning that the rest of the group hiked out to photograph sunrise at the lighthouse, I stayed behind to watch (and, of course, photograph) the sun rise on the town and its harbor.
