Triton, Stromness, once a fishing boat and later a dive boat. Now abandoned and resting on the shores of Loch Etive. The front mast has been massively distorted somehow.

Oban Bay. Maid of the Firth is in the centre while the NLB ship, Pharos, can be seen moored on the far side. The island of Kerrera is in the background.
Deer in the garden. This one is a regular here, she's a roe deer and a real cutie.

What a cute little nose! This friendly lamb came up to say hi while we were on our walk today.

Trying to embrace my inner Martin Parr with this kitsch little figure found sitting atop a fence post. Who bought it? Who left it there?

I'm now setup on PixelFed and have just posted my first photograph. Would love to get a few followers directly on there.
Looking for PixelFed server recommendations, ideally European based with English dialogue that are accepting new accounts?
Will probably be posting mainly black and white / monochrome, nothing offensive or age sensitive.
I've tried the obvious pixelfed.scot (@bumble) and also tried gram.social (@Gram), but having completed the email confirmations I've not heard anything further from either (which seemed odd).
I've been gradually moving content from YouTube to Peertube, my chosen instance being CuddlyTube, from @PrivateCoffee@cuddly.space . So far I'm impressed, it's worked very well. I setup 2 channels, one for our B&B (including trail cam shots of our wildlife), the other for the wider area of Scotland. Please check out the channels, feedback welcomed.

@mrgawrjuhs@mastodon.scot now you're making me feel old!
