On the verge

I think I have mentioned it here before, that East Lothian Council do a very good job with their planting on roundabouts, verges and other municipal places.  To prove my point, here are the flowers adorning a roundabout just outside Haddington.  I think the flowers are a little past their best now, but there is still lots of colour to enjoy.

  1. Fantastic. Do you know about the Plantlife Campaign and roadside verges? Have a google. You should collect some seeds when it's seed time and try them in your garden. So colourful.

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.

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.
