A beautiful day from start to finish. The grey clouds and fog which greeted us this morning changed to glorious sun and blue skies, touching everything we saw and everywhere we walked and everyone we spoke to with brilliance and magic.
Some Photos: Oban as we left this morning. The harbor was so still.
Duart Castle on Mull as the ferry pulled into the pier.
Baile Mor on Iona, the only "town". B&B owner Lindsay met us at the ferry and took our backpacks to Skerryvore and we were free to explore the island.
Brooding, cloud-lifting light over the Abbey.
We climbed Dun I (doon ee) at 100 meters. Astounding views and unmatched colors - the water is truly that amazing green.
You can see the "paps" of Jura on the skyline. We will be celebrating Easter of the Blue Moon there.
Cairn on top of Dun I. It was very windy, thus, Blue looks a bit bloated :)
Abbey photos - again the blue and green and more blue - couldn't take enough photos of that. St. Columba in the stained glass.
The Hermit Circle - took some doing and a bit of cross country trekking, boggy and soggy, but we found it. "One more hill," Blue said, and there it was!
Since Iona is the site of lots of religous history, there was also the ruins of the "Nunnery". Made from the pink granite of the area.
View of the "other" side of the island from our B&B window.
