My Scottish highlands adventure ended in the most perfect way - singing in a Gaelic Mòd! #SlowTravel #GaelicChoir #Scotland #Choir open.substack.com/pub/vibrants...

I only had two things on my bucket list: see a puffins and the northern lights. I managed to do both during my month in the highlands. #Scotland #Highlands #puffins #northernlights #bucketlist

This week's blog post was inspired by an incredible science hike through the peat bogs with A Far North Naturalist. It not only taught me about peat's importance to the environment but provided context to it's role in my family history.

I've just finished my first (of five) weeks in the Scottish Highlands and it is starting to feel like home. #Scotland #Highlands #SlowTravel #Sutherland

Absolutely over the moon that the Duke of Sutherland’s estate granted permission for me to photograph their 19th century records and include a sample in my Trantlebeg #OnePlaceStudy!

I'm in full genealogy research mode, up in Scotland to focus on my One Place Study of Trantlebeg, home of my courageous immigrant great-grandmother Mary Morrison.

One day to retirement, the end of a long & circuitous technology career. Many of my contemporaries will relate to this a career retrospective, and my younger colleagues might finally understand why I did not study UX when I was at university. 😆 vibrantsquares.substack.com/p/time-to-go

Thank you @bsky.app for making it so easy (and obvious) to add Alt Text to images. Great UX leap forward for accessibility.

Had a bit of fun creating my #SixGenerations chart. Typical American immigrant story.
