October 1, 2015 Lerwick Garden

         

Late afternoon at the bowling green in Lerwick. Flowers blooming everywhere. Grass is manicured within an inch of its life and the hedges are tried to perfection. Compost has been collected all summer and the beds are prepared for fall. An amazing park to stroll through on the way to class during Shetland Wool Week.

A cool late September morning run on the coast of Lerwick a lonely sea gull waits for the tide to come in to collect his breakfast. My morning runs started on a narrow trail along the sea wall facing the open channel looking toward Scotland. The breeze is always brisk and the sky clear. Many small boats can be seen bobbing in the channel heading back into port.

Wonderings in Yellowstone Park

On the way to Yellowstone, Indian drawings carved on a sandstone hillside.

Parked at the side of the road in Yellowstone. A lovely place for lunch on a warm afternoon. Peaceful, quite and free from bears.

Phillips Towing ~ Backyard

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny, but windy day in Nevada, MO. Wondering around the field I found this old Edsel with vines growing through the back window.

Driving back to the highway we found this overgrown right a way. Jerry made a quick stop and I got a few shots in the woods.
