Our Best Gifts
As 2024 draws to a close, I’ve been celebrating by listening to Potowatami botanist, author, and teacher Robin Wall Kimmerer read her latest book, “The Serviceberry”. If her earlier book, “Braiding Sweetgrass” was a meditation on reconsidering contemporary western society’s alienation from the abundant earth and native traditions that continue to surround us, “The Serviceberry” is a call to…

TWICE IS AN IDEA
“Once is a mistake, twice is an idea, three times is a style.” – Artist Nishant Jain, quoting Miles Davis today during #WildWonder2024, in answer to a student question “When drawing witk ink, what do you do to fix your mistakes?” Little did I know I’d get to put that idea to immediate use! My flat flowers from an earlier class just didn’t please me. But I didn’t want to waste the nice Arches…

Sligachan Old Bridge in the Rain
Views from a famous old bridge on a rainy day.
A rainy day hid the Cuillin peaks from us. This iconic site must rank among the most photographed destinations on Skye. A constant flow of visitors, ourselves included, attests to the magnificent landscape and views here, the charming bridge, the impacts of so many feet crossing the adjacent moorlands, and the hiking trails beckoning further travel. A steady stream of traffic approaching on the…

Colors of the Western Isle
Colors of Scotland, spring greens red compliments and earth tones that went on forever and a day.
The range of early spring colors in Skye, earth tones, prismatic greens and warm reds, the pop of lilac, bright yellows and cornflower blue surprised us beyond all expectation. My travelling companion, watercolorist Laura Starrett, created multiple landscape color grid studies, some entirely of one color range like the greens, to capture the complexity and nuances of light and pigments vibrating…

Scottish Boats
a colorful parade of Scottish boats just posted to the Driftless World.
The sailboats of summer began appearing during our April-May visit, next to practical, snub-nosed working boats built to endure treacherous conditions on short notice. A quiet spot near a Portree Harbor, otherwise a crowded tourist destination. On the way to Talisker, a hidden cove Departing Armandale terminal aboard the Cal – Mac Ferry, bound for Mallaig Working boast docked at Port of…

April 21st and 22nd
two days in one, a new collection of images has been posted to Scotland April 24 on Driftless World. Thank you for following our journey.
The more I sift through my images of Scotland and recollect the places represented, the more I feel that I may never encounter a more beautiful landscape. If you go, care for it & tread lightly. Today’s images are all of trails and hills and rocks and appreciation. Carpe vitam.

Old Roads
High, wide & lonesome. Near DeWitt IA. In the current era, long-distance US Interstate travel’s evolved into brain numbing dodgeball marathon, broken by fast food & gas timeouts. Interchangeable & indistinguishable pitstops scrubbed free of local identity. To go on the road to see the country means getting off onto the old highways that Google Maps avoids. That travel through slow places that…
