Gulls

My roof of my neighbour's house is a favoured spot for gulls to perch,
I think because it is a tall house and the gulls get a great view all around.
I mucked around with Picasa, coverted to black and white
and added a graduated tint to the sky.

Ok-this is a cheat-I haven't been out and about
with my camera, due to toothache and migraine,
but although this was taken the other week,
it still looks pretty much the same today!

letterbox

I love the letter boxes here in Scotland.
I love these old boxes that have been built into walls
and fences, as well as the free standing pillar boxes.
They are so full of character!

Sky

Finally, a dramatic sky!
Lately I have been feeling quite depressed by the Edinburgh sky!
That might seem strange, but in the winter we have these nothing skies-
great big flat expanses of sky devoid of colour or texture or movement, and
I really do find it affects how I feel.
But today, we had the very strnge spell of weather. It was windy, and in the space of 10 minutes it went from blue skies and bright sunshine, to thunder, lightening, black clouds, rain, hail and back to sunshine!
this photo was taken from my back step just as the hail stopped.
How much better I feel for seeing the sky in action!
