February Sunday afternoon walk

It has been a beautiful sunny day today, with very little wind.  Before the Siberian beast (described this evening by the weather forecast as being 'brutally cold' - can't wait) blows through during the next few days, bringing its chill factor with it, the dogs and I went for a lovely walk along a grassy path which skirts the golf courses of Kilspindie and Craigielaw, just outside Aberlady.  We came back through woodland.  

On the golf courses alongside us, there were lots of people on a good walk spoilt (Churchill's words, not mine, although I do concur) but we concentrated on the views to the north, across the Firth of Forth to Fife, to the east with North Berwick law sitting faintly on the horizon, and to the west where Arthur's Seat and Edinburgh were just about visible against the bright winter sun.

  1. A great picture of a curlew amongst many others, it must be lovely to see so much more with a proper camera. What digital camera would you recommend for a beginner? x

    1. Hi A, thank you for your lovely message - as always! You are very generous about my photos, but I can assure you that I don't use a complicated camera. Wouldn't know where to start! I use a Lumix Panasonic DMC-TZ60. You can adjust the settings but I'm afraid that is all beyond me and I just point and squirt! The settings I use are automatic. Intelligent Auto, or choose a variety of the options from the Scenic settings. You can do all that just as well as me! Simples!!! A x

  2. The first photo looks like an entirely different planet...very Dr Who. The last few of the woods look like paintings...very clever camera work A.
    What a wonderful place you live in...so lucky. xx

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!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
