We took advantage of a rare rain free day in Edinburgh, exploring the royal mile and soaking up the history at Edinburgh Castle. #Edinburgh #royalmile #EdinburghCastle #travelScotland

Right after we ordered our supper, all of Orkney lost power. The butternut squash soup was now the only thing on the menu but still piping hot. I heard a diner watching the orders going by say, “Salad! I could have ordered that.” 🤣

A sea swim pic I took this week with my water camera captures the essence of 'brrr'. The 6°C dip was wild but the liquor shots afterwards warmed us up. 🥃

A sweet belated birthday gift from my husband. A custom Virgo sign notebook cover that he hired from a talented crafter who clearly didn’t get the memo that I’m a Libra. I don’t have the heart to tell him. 🤣

The sky put on quite a show all day long until the sun set. Enchanting us in Orkney once more.

A Calgary downtown cityscape pic from my daughter’s apartment. Very different from my island life in Orkney Scotland but I’m enjoying the urban energy.

A scenic hike to the natural arch called the Vat of Kirbister. One of the highlights of Orkney Scotland that I took my friend visiting from Canada to see.

I love that Lavatera is so easy to plant from seed. Tattered but strong, they managed to hold up in the strong Orkney winds. On my list to grow again next year!

This morning, the sun endures past dawn. I realise that it is August: the summer's last stand.

It’s not just seals and seagulls that join us on our swims. Many jellyfish have been seen in the UK lately. I took a pic of this one underwater today. It’s a lion’s mane jellyfish with a severe sting. #Orkney #Scotland #jellyfish

Our Sunday sea swim had us interacting with playful seagulls! Bill Hodgson from our swim group took the 1st pic while, in the 2nd, I captured the seagull flying in close with my water camera. #orkney #scotland #nature #seaswimming
