The Isle of #Lewis is the northern two-thirds of Lewis and Harris, while the Isle of #Harris is the southern one-third. The Isle of Lewis is usually flatter, though the two sides of the island are actually divided by largely impassable mountains running in an east-west direction. While the area is today part of Na h-Eileanan Siar, or the #WesternIsles #OuterHebrides, the traditional counties had been divided between #Ross and #Cromarty with Lewis and #Inverness with Harris.

First bumble bee of the season today!

A few catkins on the highest branches of a nearby Goat willow (Salix caprea) have opened and a solitary bee was buzzing around them, too far from me for a picture, sadly.

Goat willows are perceived as rather mundane trees, but their catkins will soon be surrounded by hungry bees at a time of year when there aren't many other native species flowering in North Highland.

The Pt. Reyes Muted

I love playing with this particular subject. The boat has been slowing deteriorating for as long as I can remember. I first shot this boat a few years ago and tend to stop every time I go out to Point Reyes.
I removed the color from the boat so that I could isolate it against the green rolling hills and the blue sky of the Marin County countryside.

So wenig Lebenszeit und so viele Bücher die gelesen werden möchten. So viele Geschichten und so viele Welten die es zu entdecken gilt. So viele unterschiedliche Charaktere und all die Abenteuer die erlebt werden müssen.
All die Erzählungen und Beschreibungen und all diese Gefühle.
So viele Bücher, so viele Seiten und so viele Worte, in denen man sich verlieren kann.
