Not a bad day. Sun, rain, hail… everyone talks about the weather on Skye. It changes frequently. The origin of its name is in sky.
We were going to walk to the fairy pools. … big tourist attraction. Big hike. We got as far as a tiny (water?)fall before the hail and wet turned us back. Yes, those are raindrops on my glasses. And, Colleen was mad enough that she would not wait for a selfie. (She told me to bring the umbrella.)
Mountain rescue?! Yup! They were headed up the same trail to aid a hiker. Umm…? There were three rescue vehicles and six guys… Someone to be sure was having a bad day. Forget the hail.
Colleen rides the left side of the car in Scotland. This is her shot. (I drive – her crazy.) That is her rearview side mirror. She shot this ram right next to her door. Sheep roam free on the road on Skye. Driver beware! Umm.. that would be me.
We never did make it to the fairy pool. The waterfall looked to be about 8ft tall but it is so much more impressive if you zoom in with the lens!
Yeah, yeah, it’s not a ‘typo.’ Same sheep – twice.
Rescue
We got an unexpected show at the beach. The fire department rescue squad was in the water. ?? A kayak was in the water and lost. A helicopter soon followed. A boat followed after the jet ski. We do not know if the rescue was successful. But there was plenty of action to see and ponder. A trailer was in the water. The jet ski? It floated on down the beach. The jet ski came back and was recovered. An ambulance showed up on down the beach. The outcome? Unknown. We are not in the flow of information. It is strictly need to know. We did not need to know. I hope it was a happy ending.
