Things in Scots: Photie

Advertisements

Today is a special day for me and my beloved, Jez. It’s our 25th-year together-versary (totally a word)–and tomorrow is our 19th wedding anniversary.

I’d had today’s word down for a TiS: Running the Asset post, but I kept thinking about Jez’s site each time I sat down to write the post. So, what better day to do it than today?

Today’s word, photie, (pronounced phoatee) means photograph. So, in Scots, Jez’s site Photos by Jez is Photies bi Jez.

Here are some photies

On an Independence march
In Arbroath Abbey visitor centre
In Arbroath Abbey
On a boat…
On an island
In a glen
In a gale in Peterhead
In the Botanic Gardens
At work
By the Forth and Clyde Canal
Beside The Kelpies
On a photie walk

Photies Part II

With it being our together-versary and a Monday, the signs couldn’t be clearer: do a twofer post! On Mondays, Jez hosts a challenge where he invites readers to share what they’re passionate about on their blogs. It’s a super simple challenge. Just create a new post featuring photies of what you love (items, hobbies, people, places…), tag and/or title your post Fan Of… and link it back to his post for that week.

I’m a Fan Of… Photos by Jez (In Scots and English)

A’m a muckle fan o oor yin’s wabstaid, Photies bi Jez. Heez wabstaid is fu o affa braw photies o flooers, beasties, an bonnie vizzies o the kintry-side. Hae a wee keek an gie him a follae.

Translation: I’m a big fan of my husband’s website, Photos by Jez. His site is full of stunning photographs of flowers, animals, and beautiful views of the countryside. Have a look and give him a follow.

If you want to see more Scots posts, check out Things in Scots: Running the Asset Edition and the original series, Things in Scots.

Thanks for reading. Take care, and I hope to see you soon for more Scots on Fiction Friday!

Since then, I've worked as a freelance content writer, erotica author, proofreader, professional beta reader, and content editor. I'm now working hard on my dream writing career: romantic suspense author. When I'm not writing, I can be found drinking too much coffee, obsessing over yarn, and planning world domination with my husband, jezbraithwaite.blog, and our squirrel army.​

        We don’t play against each other. We’re the weirdos who play co-op. I’m the sniper and heavy artillery, Jez is the driver and close quarter battle (CQB) guy. We’re always a winning team. 😉

    2. Photos by Jez – I'm a Royal Navy Veteran from Scotland and love to get out and about with my wife, susantbraithwaite.com, on our Kalkhoff e-bikes. My faithful camera, Snappy, and the ever-present Lensy (lensball) are always along for the ride to capture the beauty of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Join me as I share photos from our travels, how Lensy views the world & pretty much anything shiny ✨

  5. Stefanie Neumann – Hamburg, Germany – The Art of Awareness - a bright light on the path of beingness. Basically I am... well... me! That contents: Dreamer. Visionary. Connector. Peacefounder. Adventurer. Teacher. Lerner. Artist. Embodied Spirit. ... Born as a highly sensitive person and empath I am using these gifts to bring awareness into the world through authenticity. This comes with a natural, strong tendency for clarity. I am in love with creative expression, drawing my inspiration from a colourful, wide range of interests. People often describe me as open-hearted and friendly. What I learned from life on earth: You cannot think an experience. But you can thank for it. ************************************ Die Kunst der Gewahrsamkeit - ein helles Licht auf dem Pfad des Seins. Im Wesentlichen bin ich... nun ja... ich! Das beinhaltet: Träumerin. Visionärin. Vermittlerin. Friedensgründerin. Abenteurerin. Lehrerin. Lernende. Künstlerin. Verkörperter Geist... Als hochsensible Person und Empathin geboren, nutze ich diese Gaben, um Gewahrsamkeit durch Authentizität in die Welt zu bringen. Dies kommt mit einer natürlichen starken Neigung zur Klarheit. Ich bin in den kreativen Ausdruck verliebt, wobei ich meine Inspiration von einer bunten Palette an vielseitigen Interessen beziehe. Menschen beschreiben mich oft als offenherzig und freundlich. Was ich vom Leben auf der Erde gelernt habe: Man kann eine Erfahrung nicht denken. Doch man kann für sie danken.
