A prayer answered!

Today it was my turn to lead a walk with the walking group.  It was a five mile, 2 hour walk, starting from our house.  I planned a big circular walk to take full advantage of the wonderful views across the valley to the Lammermuirs, a good glimpse of the sea, and then later, north to the Bass Rock and North Berwick Law.  Lots of wonderful landmarks, but - and here could have been the catch - only visible with fine weather!  All the planning in the world couldn't have brought the sun out, but some suitably worded prayers did, and we walked all morning beneath clear blue skies and in brilliant sunshine.  Perfect!
A little band of deer ran across this field.  I caught three of them in my photo, but there were about eight, including a stag with a very impressive set of antlers!  In the distance you can see the Garleton Hills and the Hopetoun Monument.

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. 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.
