Another shot of our visit to Scotney Castle. Loved this scene of the old castle.
This morning I was in the presence of what I can only describe as an overly exuberant person. Being more on the introverted side of things, encounters like these test my patience. I can’t join in because of my sense of incongruence, and a deadened response to it is just plain bad manners. So I find myself, at times, in these rather uncomfortable and in-between places. Fortunately, over the years, I’ve mastered a subtle and measured form of enthusiasm, which I reserve specifically for these encounters. I applied it in this case and it served me well.

My name is Don Scrooby and I live in The United Kingdom. I feel that more than anything else, nature, and the objective things around us, convey a speech and a message we always need to listen to and follow. This kind of listening is life-giving and there is a certain form spirituality about it.
In this blog, through the the photographic image and accompanying words, I’ve tried to share this experience as simply as I can. There is an underlying beauty in nature we all need to see and experience, especially in this day and age as we struggle to save our planet.
Most of my shots are taken with a Fujifilm XT100 camera and my Iphone. I’m no professional Photographer, but I do enjoy outdoor walks with my simple gear trying to capture what I see and experience.

I’m also an introvert, but I am exuberant over the castle.

Interesting Don. There is a certain incongruence to the angles and light. Perhaps the subject is introverted as well. Thank you for the share and ponder 🤔💛

Just gorgeous photo Don, from the heavy clouds that speak of a hint of rain, to the green foliage around the castle. It is like a photo out of a story book for me. I can get lost in your photos and drawings.

You’re too kind Sandra. I just dabble with my phone when it comes to photography. Affirmation from you means a lot. Thank you.

Yes, but phones take pretty good photos also. And it is the subject of the photo that interest me the most. Seeing things, real things from others on this thing called blogging, places I may never get to see, is what I like the most. Your photos tell a story to me. Love them.

Thank you LuAnne. It was such a beautiful day and I thought I would do some editing work on the clouds, but decided against it. I’m glad I did.

Don, your description of yourself could easily be a description of me (far better expressed than I could write). Thanks for sharing your thoughts and superb photo.
