Majesty.

The heron retreats from the water after, I think, catching and swallowing its prey.

Beauty in flight.
This was our parting moment.
Good luck friend!

I was feeling almost disappointed with my walk; the sun was vanishing fast and I felt I wasn’t going to find any magic. But suddenly I came to the stream out of Sagdammen that was now filled with golden sun. But there was something even more magical! Can you spot it?!!

The writers at Merriam-Webster really do put out pure gold sometimes:
“We define irregardless, even though this act hurts the feelings of many. Why would a dictionary do such a thing? Do we enjoy causing pain? Have we abdicated our role as arbiter of all that is good and pure in the English language? These are all excellent questions (well, these are all questions)…”

If people have heard of #Islay at all, it's usually because of the whisky, but I would make a strong case for our beaches... This is Machir Bay, on the northwest coast of the island.
