Prom

Jack, all kilted up for the sixth year prom-looking very handsome!

Pheasant

This pheasant was strutting around at Dawyck-but it was some distance away, and so I had to zoom in. Unfortunately it is is a bit out of focus.

Rain

Last sunday we had a lovely time at Dawyck, but on the way home, the skies opened-
Summer in Scotland!!

More poppies

Following on from yesterday....

Dawyck

We were at Dawyck Botanic Garden again today. I was mucking around with the camera settings on my camera-mostly unsuccessfully-but I have learned some things, so that's the main thing, I guess. Today I was mainly playing around with meter mode-trying to learn about how this effects photos. I took some really BAD photos today. My focus is all over the place at the moment-don't know what's going on. Today's photo is not a good photo, but I chose it because I think the tree is particularly interesting. It is called Abies Delavayi and it has the most amazing and beautiful dark blue pine cones, and wonderful acidic green new foliage. Both look beautiful against the darker green, older foliage.

Lamp posts

I have been very remiss with posting photos for the last two days so I though I would post three photo to make up for it. Edinburgh is full of interesting street lights. Here are three, taken in and around Rutland Square.

Reflect

I like how the old buildings are reflected in the modern glass windows.
