Day 12 of #photOctober2023 and the themes are "on the road" and "panoramic". This 20yr old panorama shows our old car on the road by Loch Hourn in the Scottish Highlands. It was stitched together by hand. The camera attempted to assist but it needed a lot of help - so much work compared to just twirling around with your SmartPhone. It was very satisfying though & I've always liked taking them on paths & roads.We came from here. We're going there. #photography #panorama #Scotland

Evening! Been out and about all day. Bit tired now, but am idly playing with some photos of an interesting building. Very enjoyable patterns.#photography #360degree #architecture #abstract #Scotland

MONDAYHave had a vaguely productive morning, so thought I could have a play with some of my rippling loch video over lunch, before getting my head down again this afternoon. Decided to go for an upbeat message. Struggled slightly, tbh.#sillyScribbles

Every time I walk past this tree I think it looks like a lovely place to sit. Friend agrees. Also, they found a mysterious sparkly thing.#sillyScribbles

Now I know this is Mastodon, so while you obviously all love a Tiny Balancing Sheep, there is a subsection who are thinking "yeah yeah, the tiny sheep are great, but I want to see the moss on that fence post in more detail". I've got you.#sillyScribbles #mosstodon

Tbh this is largely me trying to get the brushes set up for Friend. I think it's close.I'm still in the middle of shifting All The Graphics from Adobe to open source alternatives and trying to work out all my regular bits and pieces so the final swap will be painless.Getting there. I should probably try out a Myfanwy too, but not today. I think it's bedtime.Sleep well all, when bedtime reaches you. *heads off to count tiny balancing sheep*

Every now and then a photo appears in my notifications as someone spots the potential for Something Silly. Sometimes the photographers are very kind and say "go for it". Thanks to @cheriecreationstruck for this one.#sillyScribbles #googlyEyes

Just realised both pictures today have been of the same branch. I mean, it was a very nice branch, but think I should save the other photo I have of it for a different day 😆 Have visitors over later so I should go and distract myself with hostess duties anyhow. Later lovelies, enjoy the rest of your day!

Hey all. Hope your week goes as well as it can. Bit busy here. All fine, but, you know, STUFF. Anyhow, still sorting through the last batch of photos, so thought I'd post a soothing interlude, as sometimes a week needs more than just a silent Sunday. Maybe a tranquil Thursday.#bloomScrolling #daffodils

It's Friday! Woohoo! Today the dancers are doing the Dance of the Daisies, in honour of scruffy lawns everywhere. I'm about to head off & help plant things as the sun is shining & seedlings are demanding attention 🌼 As ever have a good weekend if you possibly can :HumphStomp: #sillyScribbles #FridaySparklyDancers

Oh, and next week is week 150 of the Friday Dancers, which feels like a Big Round Number to me. If anyone has any thoughts of an appropriate dance step for the dancers to try and conquer (or massacre with incompetent glee) feel free to suggest it ⬇️(edit: suggestions with a link to a nice clear example of said step are fractionally more likely to be attempted, although there remains no guarantee that it will be recognisable at the end of the process!)

This is Tex. Tex lives in @ZhiZhu 's garden while, obviously, wearing a very fetching hat.#sillySummerHatting
