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!

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.

In a vase on Monday - colour

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
