This photo was taken in Scotland. Can you believe it? The color of this water is just so gorgeous. It looks like the Caribbean or Walloon Lake. I was on my way to Iona with an adult pilgrimage group in 2004. The photo reminded me of a great book. The Color of Water.
It is about a white mother raising her African American children in Harlem. My hometown, Kalamazoo, Michigan read this book as a city in 2005. I love my childhood home so much. The Read Together program was so inspiring. Read more here. Enjoy your Traquil Tuesday and try to unplug for the evening.
I have friends on the Mull of Kintyre who have semi-tropical flowers that grow year-round. It's the way the Gulf Stream curls up and around and ends up in Scotland. Who knew?
