A real winter treat

One of our routes into North Berwick is currently a favourite with me.  There is steep twisty bit where the road turns sharply to the left.  Just before it becomes dark and shady there are carpets of snowdrops on either side of the road.  They are just so delicious to see and definitely enough to make my heart sing.  I keep thinking about all the poor souls in the south and south west of England, battling with such appalling weather and the devastation of their homes.  Over the past few weeks, in this little corner of south east Scotland, we have come off remarkably lightly, weatherwise, but down south it just seems to go from bad to worse.  So these snowdrops are for those dealing with all the ghastliness.
And here is this evening's sunset, because the colours through the bare trees were so amazing.

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
