Toady’s guest picture comes from blog reader Michelle. She kindly sent me this picture of a waterfall on the Burn O’Vat at Muir of Dinnet, which is just within the boundaries of the Cairngorm National Park in Aberdeenshire. She points out that it has not rained a lot there recently! It did not rain hereContinue reading “Sunday, a day of rest”

Getting cross
Today’s guest picture is another from camera club member, Stan. He knows that I like gates and took this picture during our little fall of snow in March just for me. After yesterday’s rain, we welcomed a much better day here today. We had some business to do in the morning, but when it wasContinue reading “Getting cross”
A surprise for Mrs Tootlepedal
Today’s guest picture comes from Portsmouth where my sister Caroline spotted this fine magnolia. I got up early this morning and was pleased to find that it was a fine day. Fine days are always welcome but this one was especially welcome as our older son Tony drove all the way down from East WemyssContinue reading “A surprise for Mrs Tootlepedal”
Another autumnal walk
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. It shows a loaf of bread which he baked in his air fryer today. It is a versatile machine. We had another very grey day here today, but once again with mild temperatures for the time of year. We found plenty to do in the way ofContinue reading “Another autumnal walk”
Shooting the breeze
Today’s guest picture is another from Irving Bell. He tells me that he often sees this fox, but never when he has a zoom lens to hand. We had another lovely sunny day today, and though it seems to be rude to complain about it, it got almost too hot in the sun as theContinue reading “Shooting the breeze”
Staying close to home today
Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. His dog Henry took him to the top of Skiddaw in the Lake District earlier this week. I was pleased to find that I was in more or less full working order when I got up today. This is a tribute to the fine qualities ofContinue reading “Staying close to home today”
Back in the groove again
Today’s guest picture(s) come from Dropscone’s holiday in Devon. He took a trip on the Babbacombe cliff railway. We had a very familiar sort of day here now that we are back home. We rose rather late to let us recover from the journey yesterday, and then we had coffee with our neighbour Margaret. ItContinue reading “Back in the groove again”
Rain reigns
Today’s guest picture comes from my Lake Michigan correspondent Laura. The autumn has produced a very fine crop of fungus in her back yard. The weather is getting steadily worse here, and we had more rain overnight, followed by a very grey day when we woke up. Although the forecast had said that it shouldContinue reading “Rain reigns”
A dull day, but with scones
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia. She looked out of her window at just the right moment to see a sparrowhawk visiting her garden. The most exciting thing to visit our garden today was undoubtedly Dropscone, who came for coffee. He is always welcome, especially when he comes bearing home made sconesContinue reading “A dull day, but with scones”
Afternoon tea in the garden
The guest picture of the day comes from our son Tony. It proves that there are many shades of green in East Wemyss as well as in Langholm. Today’s post starts with an anomaly, a picture taken yesterday. As it was taken at a quarter to midnight, I hope that that explains why it didn’tContinue reading “Afternoon tea in the garden”
