Towards home
Yesterday, mid morning on a cool, sunny day I had time for a wander around near the house on my son and daughter-in-law's "other" farm, the one on which they are milking hundreds and hundreds of cows at Mititai. It's about a 15 minute drive from here, so the hills that are close to here seem far, far away.
I didn't have my camera so, for the first time, took landscape photos with my phone.
After a lovely Mother's Day breakfast cooked by my son and views like that, who wouldn't be happy? Thanks, Dan.

From back when
My mind has been taking me back to Scotland a lot lately. Scrolling down memory lane via my photos I came across this shot of crofts. And, thankfully, I had labelled it properly because I would never have have remembered the name of the village - Eoropaidh, on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. I think of it as the place where they farm fences.
My friend, Graham had taken me to this spot to visit St Moluag's, a 12th Century church which stands about 100 metress back off the road, accessed by a path between two crofts.

Morning, noon and night fences
It's that time of year where we often have a foggy morning followed by a clear, sunny day.
And in the evening, we've had some pretty sunsets. I was driving home and hoping to get to a particular spot to capture this sunset but stopped to take this shot when I realized it was going to be dark in a few more minutes. I had to lighten the image so you could see the fences on either side of the road.

Pataua south
One of my grand-daughters is adventuring in Thailand at the moment and constantly in my thoughts. My thoughts of her today lead me to drive out to Pataua South, where she once (or maybe twice) holidayed when she was younger, and a total contrast to the hustle and bustle she is currently experiencing.
Today I chatted briefly to a lady and her elderly mother who were enjoying a picnic by the quiet, gentle waters of the inlet. I crossed the footbridge to Pataua North on the other side, to the wild ocean beach. No surfers to be found on this sunny but cool day.
