we have to get it finished

Beautiful Beach Day in Scotland

A beautiful day at Yellowcraigs Beach in East Lothian Scotland photographed by © David Ross
I never think of good weather when I think of Scotland, do you? I always think of cold, windy moors and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.

More Fotos from My Sunday Walk

This property is just down the street. I was hoping the sheep would be out but they weren't.

Standing in same spot behind the fence, I was able to zoom in using the slider on the iPhone 4S to get closer to the barn.
Happy Monday. Have a great week.

Outdoor Stone Shower Room

WOW -- via Architectural Digest found here.

Mid-Afternoon iPhone Fotos in The Neighborhood

This house is diagonally across the street from me. It sits way back and I had to use the slider on the iPhone 4S camera to get closer. I also pumped up the saturation of the colors a bit when processing in Picnik.

A long stone wall with trees lines the lengthy frontage of the house above.

I drove instead of walking to a friend's house. Don't you love this swing hanging from the big old tree?

A short walk to the left of the tree swing reveals a beautiful lake with a wonderful view of a boat house on the other side.

Using the camera's slider to get closer shows very clearly that the boat house is made of stone. The red canoe is perfect here, isn't it. I increased the saturation in all of the photos in this post.

Now Webster and I are going to work outside and spread some woodchips from our big pile that was dropped off by a tree service free of charge. I have to do something meaningful around here other than playing any longer with my new toy.

Have a great Sunday. I hope I am not boring you with my new smartphone photos. I am having such fun carrying it with me wherever I go and snapping away. I actually got it because of the camera and I couldn't be more pleased. Enjoy this beautiful day.
