Oh, how I love the sound of a lone piper. You have captured my heart with this image. What a perfect reflection. The bursts of rich color sing!
dinghysailor1 replied
aw thanks my friend.. i too love the sound in the open air.. and it was wonderful as it drifted across the loch..
You’d love our regatta’s when sometimes a piper will see 50-60 boats off the shore, playing from the end of the jetty then leaping into a boat to crew… not in his kilt tho…LOL
:))))

Ah, my Scottish heritage … how could I ever agree with the person who said the sound of bagpipes reminds him of the sound of a rooster being strangled … even a little bit. :)
