Church at Montrose, Scotland

We went to church today. We arrived just before the sacrament (had a hard time finding the building) so we had the bread in the hall and moved into the chapel for the water. There we 13 of us and about 30 of them. We stayed and chatted for a bit and then came home. Here is a photo from a previous day we went and took photos.

Our days usually start at 8:00 am and we drive to our shooting locations and arrive home about 6:00 pm then if we are lucky we can work on our photographs and if not we go to a new location and start taking photos again. In my spare time I read or update my blog. I am happy and relaxed. But now need to start on my Art History paper due before we leave.

I spoke to Rick and he sent me photos of our new front porch and beginning of our new garage...I include them here as well. Love and kisses. Pat

Hightland Games @ Cupar






We spent all day Sunday at the highland games. Our first really big downpour arrived...they moved the dancers into a gym so we followed them after about 1 hour the rain stopped and we had a lovely day watching the "BIG MEN THROW THE CABER" We all had a great time. Then in the evening we had to show 20 photos for critique...some of mine were good others not so good, but a learning experience none the less.

Loch Brandy, Sterling Castle, & Cliffs at Arbroath

We took an all day hike to the beautiful lake in the Highlands...lots of heather growing. We spent time at a very gorgeous cliffs at Arbroath Harbor on the north sea! We even soaked our feet!


Sterling Castle was soooooooo awesome they even had a mock "storming the castle" by the tourist children dressed in costumes.
