Now and then I enjoy turning a photo into black and white. It removes the distraction of colour for a moment and lets us focus on the mood of the shot. This was taken on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, during a little trip to escape the mundane.⠀
⠀
I enjoy this shot because it mirrors my mood right now. A little cloudy, not much light, and a little gloomy. But it also shows a fascination with nature; the trees, the hills formed by the forces of the earth, and the calm ripples of the water. ⠀
⠀
Although my own life has some clouds over it right now, I’m still very much aware of the good and the wonderful that surround us. Now just to bring back the colour, but that’s not always too easy.⠀

Another stop along Loch Lomond taking in the breathtaking scenery. Would love to spend a few days exploring around here. It’s such a serene place. ⠀

Taken in June 2001 on a first trip to New York.⠀
⠀
I was young, and didn’t have contact lenses yet. Because I couldn’t see well because of short sight, my camera was always my eye - I could look back and see the places I’d visited in more detail.⠀
⠀
The second photo is looking down onto Broadway and Liberty, with One Liberty Plaza in the middle. The other two are the views from the South Tower Observation Deck. Taken on a Kodak Advantix camera and scanned.⠀

On one of the north east edges of Scotland looking over to Norway (with a telescope I suppose 😂). Gorgeous part of the country - very serene. I must visit this area again soon. ⠀

Just love this photo. It’s everything about nature that makes me smile. The deep deep greens and the pop of colour from the beautiful flower. Is there anything more beautiful than nature?

Just love bees. I could stand inside a tree or shrub that’s full of bees and feel so content. I love their energy and beauty, and they are just perfect. Pollinators who allow other plants to reproduce, the value of these beautiful creatures is incredible. Love seeing them inaction. And always make sure I take photos of them with all WiFi and anything else that would disturb them turned off.
