A bit aimless at the moment, so thought I'd find out a peaceful photo for a Sunday evening.
Sunset over the islands of Kerrera and Mull, taken from the mainland a couple of years back.
It was a bit lovely.
It shouldn't need to be said, but it does, so saying it on #TransDayOfVisibility feels appropriate.
I hope saying it with a happy, bouncing, fluffball is acceptable.

I have a bit of a soft spot for penguins.
I couldn't see a creative prompt for a #WellPresentedBird without digging out one of my penguin photos to posh it up a bit.
Obviously it doesn't need much to present a penguin well. They are pre-tuxedo'd for a start.
