Here they come again!

I can hardly believe that it's been a year since we stood in a good vantage point to watch the Red Arrows come zooming in overhead to entertain the onlookers at the East Fortune Air Show. They came at us, on a direct course from Edinburgh, and then threw themselves around the skies above us, with their usual supreme skill and precision. Wonderful!

I used a setting on my camera which was supposed to reduce blurriness when photographing fast moving things, but all that seems to have happened is that photos have a rather painterly effect. Actually, I rather like it!

Fifteen minutes later they regrouped and headed off out over the North Sea, leaving behind them their patriotic vapour trails. Adios Red Arrows, until next year!

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.
