Loved my visit to the beautiful and inspiring #Hillhouse in #Helensburgh
Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret MacDonald were ahead of their time. Thanks to the Scottish National Trust for preserving this special place. Please remove the concrete render and let the building breathe!

Hi Michael, lovely sharp shot. I'm not a bird expert either but wondering if it is a Song Sparrow?
Had a fantastic 5 days walking part of the Great Glen Way from Fort William to Drumnadrochit. Well done to the amazing people #walking the whole path right across #Scotland to Inverness!
Wonderful vibrant yellow of the gorse
The coconut aroma of the tropics
Happy #Easter from #Scotland

Pause for a while
To admire

We often get the cob oven going to cook lunch for the staff and volunteers on Wednesdays.
Bubbling away for hours
Then bottling "sunshine". Otherwise know as McKendrick 'Taking the pith marmalade'.
Amazing flavour but not perfectly set, any tips welcome!

Unleashing a disease that leaves us gasping.
Invisible invasion, burning our senses.
We will learn to cope with consequences,
and find what’s left inside the box is
hope!

I know it’s taboo:
a menstrual monstrosity.
Let’s find a breakthrough
to end period poverty.

Daffodils! 💛 My heart always lifts when the daffodils bloom!Makes me think of Wordsworth's #poem:
"A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
