March goes out with a Roar

Wind and rain, snow and hail, winter returns with force!

Spring Equinox

A day of Glorious Sunshine! Welcome to Spring on Iona!

Who are you looking at?

First Lambs!

The Backyard

Bishops House from the beach at low tide. You can just make out the bell tower of the Abbey to the far right.

Hamish

Art is the flower...

Oystercatchers

Out for a stroll at low tide on Martyr's Bay.

White Strand of the Monks

A picnic on the dunes of my favourite beach!

White sand under my feet, the sun shining on bright white snow in the distance, and water that looks deceptively warm!

Sunrise

What words can describe this scene greeting the new day?

Abbey Windows, Morning Sun

Windows facing the rising sun.

Just after sunrise I took these photos of the east windows of Iona Abbey. In the evening, a few hours after darkness had fallen over the island, I stood in the light from inside the abbey that was streaming out of these windows onto the field by the shore.

Bright Sunshine

Last evening the full moon reflected on the calm waters of the sound. Today the sun shone brightly over the sea.
