The background photograph is of the Eel River at Basin Creek, taken in June 2008.
The background photograph was taken in April 2008 on a hill just outside Insch, Scotland. It is an ancient hillfort, used by many successive generations of local people as a defensive promontory and village. While dating the site is difficult, it is estimated to be 1,000 to 3,000 years old.
The background photograph was taken in April 2008 at the Lochcarron textile mill in Selkirk Scotland. It’s a shelf of bolts of tartan fabric woven at the mill. As soon as I saw the shelves (the shelves went from floor to ceiling with about 8 shelves of fabric) I thought I could use one of the shelves as this blog’s header photo to represent my trip to Scotland. It seems to capture the essence of my trip: Scotland with a focus on weaving.
This background photo was taken in May 2002 while rafting on the Owyhee River in eastern Oregon.
Hi Bob,
I’ve just been enjoying spending a little time with you via your website. Fun!
I’m going to experience my first Scottish Country Dance “Social” this Tuesday. I even hemmed a skirt! My legs haven’t been out in public for a long time (wink). I am enjoying the classes so much. Thanks for inviting me. I’ve invited a friend to come and observe on Tuesday, too. Perhaps she’ll consider it for herself.
