My new tartan in the area that inspired it.

Awesome is as awesome does - and that does be awesome.

Dear Ken my wife and I went to Ireland and Scotland in 2011 for our 20th wedding anniversary and the tour went right through Glencoe, beautiful area. Anyway 5 years earlier my red headed daughter bought a Campbell kilt in Edinburgh. And twenty miles from glencoe in Newtonmore we had a taste of Scotland night. The Campbell kilt did not go over so well with the folks there to say the least. I had to let the bartender know that my ancestors were Maxwells and not Campbells and the kilt was a mistake. I guess I won't make that mistake ever again. Great looking kilt you have best regards Mattie

The weather brightened up today, so I was able to get some more photos.

I'll have to crop this down a bit, but I'm glad the woman who snapped this for me zoomed all the way out. It shows a lot of the color behind me (though I wish it showed a bit less parking lot.)


Just a few shots of the color this year. Peek has now come and gone, but there's still plenty of color to be found.








Enjoyed the chance to do a little hiking along the river.


And one last shot of my Leaf Peeper kilt.


Tomorrow is last day in the area. Boston tomorrow evening, then home to Ohio on Sunday.

Now these are the shots that I have been waiting for to see the "Leafpeeper" with. Absolutely magnificent Ken. No wonder you had the inspiration to design the tartan. Cheers and thanks for the pics.

Ken: I could not agree more. Beautiful kilt, great pictures. If you stepped back into those woods, you would disappear. You want to be careful about that, especially during hunting season.

I've seen the Monty Python sketch "How Not To Be Seen." ;)

Ken, that is a beautiful tartan and you wear your kilt well.

I had the good fortune some years ago... a lot of years actually, to travel through the Cascade Mountains in Washington State in autumn. The colours of those woodlands literally blew me away and is a lasting aspect on my memories of that particular trip.

I appreciate the Cascades aren't your neck of the woods but your Kilt and it's tartan design captures those vivid autumnal hues majestically.



Thanks for posting this crackin' series of photos.

That is truly lovely Ken and a wonderful design. Superb colours inspired by nature. Awesome.
