Day Three in Scotland September 16, 2016

Exploring Edinburgh's Art Museums!

 

 

 

Walking into the city...

 

A plethora of images to capture...

 

Clever enterprise!

 

Technicolor pastries...

 

After spending along time admiring the

exhibit Inspiring Impressionism

at the Edinburgh National Gallery

we carried on to Edinburgh's Portrait Gallery.

Here are a few of our portraits!

 

Just the two of us! 

 

Needless to say we had a grand time!

 

 

 

 

On our way to our favorite brewery!

 

So many photo opportunities...

 

 

Thirst quenchers!

 

Patient cat waiting for the front door to open!

 

Great Horned Owl earning his keep...

A line of tourists waiting to pay

for their photo to be taken.

 

Dinner once again at L'Escarot Blanc!

 

Magpie Tales # 234 Painful Perfection

Starry Night by Alex Ruiz

Perfection

Once seen

Never forgotten
Once seen
Has to be painted

.......

Enraged losing friends
Losing friends who loved 
Who loved him despite 
Despite his madness 
Madness driving him
Driving him to slashing
Slashing lines and colors
Colors from that night
That starry starry night
~~~~~~
Thanks to Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales
Have a great week!

Magpie #72-Family Garden

Wheat Field with Rising Sun, Vincent Van Gogh, 1889

I grew up with a vegetable garden
Rinsing fresh lettuce into a bowl
Scooping up warm cherry tomatoes
Popping crunchy pea pods into my mouth
The soil enriched meals mingle into memories
Of soft summer evenings sweet with family
