Travel, family, gardening, food security. Photos are mine except reposts. All my photos are #mobilephotography. Retired from molecular diagnostics science, not from life. Summer is too hot. Waiting for Fall

#OnMyWalk Been a big week for walking. The grandkids are liking to walk to all the sights here in Scotland and they have been right. We’ve seen so many little gardens and places that we would have missed by car. And the views from trails on Isle of Skye 🤩 I had to beg for mercy one day though 😂
#PalacesandGardens #UpliftingEnergy Had a lovely day to tour the Palace of Holyroodhouse. We especially enjoyed the colorful gardens.
