For peace

Today (21 September) is international Peace Day. When we are home on the mountain Fiona and I put up an installation of 21 peace weather-grams and 21 peace doves. Because we were to be in a cottage in the Scottish Highlands we did that installation a couple of weeks before we left home. But we both brought a couple of bits with us to install the cottage on the day.

This morning after breakfast we attached the weather-grams and peace doves to the front gate of the cottage. There was quite a stiff cool breeze so some of the photos are a bit out of focus.

At the end of the day the pieces for peace are still flying for peace in the Scottish Highlands.

  1. Such beautiful pictures of your Highland cottage and it warms my heart to see your pieces of peace flying there.

    As your day of peace is winding down, mine is just beginning. I love contemplating how it is, in actuality, a day that is 48 hours long, traveling around the earth, hour by hour ... and I dare to imagine it spiraling out from there, everlasting
