Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She visited the Rose Garden in Regents Park after playing tennis on Saturday.. More good weather and a fairly active day led to too many photographs being taken. Today’s post is heavy on galleries to enable judicious skipping for busy readers. I started the day by preparingContinue reading “Watering and wandering”

A cross word in England
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. It shows a stunning dawn in East Wemyss with added dog appeal. We had another fine day here as our spell of good weather continued. This was lucky, as we went off after breakfast to do some volunteer tree planting on the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve.Continue reading “A cross word in England”
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother’s scenic trip home after his visit to us. He passed though Buxton, and admired the magnificent thermal baths building there. We had another dry day here, and as it was forecast that the early sun would disappear by coffee time, I got up early for me andContinue reading “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”
Spotters spotted
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He headed north to Penrith today and stopped at the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle for a lunch break. It didn’t get as cold overnight as had been feared, but it was still a chilly morning with a keen north westerly wind when we got up. IContinue reading “Spotters spotted”
Out of breath
Today’s guest picture comes from my blogging friend, Gunta, in Oregon. She has acquired an electric bicycle and was testing it out today in a car park with a rather fine view of the bridge over the Rouge River. Whether it was connected with yesterday’s bike ride or it was just an annoying side effectContinue reading “Out of breath”
Sunshine, a scone and a stroll
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. It is an early morning impressionistic study of Mr Grumpy’s cousin watching the sun come up today. The sun came up here too, and it stayed up all day. Once again, a brisk wind ensured that we didn’t get overheated, and Dropscone wore warmContinue reading “Sunshine, a scone and a stroll”
A spring in my step
Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Stan. He has got some very good pictures of the otter at Skippers Bridge which is getting us all excited. He has kindly let me use one here. It was a day of two halves, except as far as the weather went, where it was fineContinue reading “A spring in my step”
Good judgement
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo, my Manitoba correspondent. She has been house sitting in Hawaii with a friend and enjoying the mellow temperatures. For some reason they didn’t go swimming. We had a definite spring day here today, though it was rather deficient when it came to sunshine. The main thing was thatContinue reading “Good judgement”
Mistified again
Today’s guest picture comes from ex archive group member Ken. He was rather unimpressed by this reservoir in Central Park, New York, but I think that I have probably seen it looking better on sunnier days in several films. We had a stark contrast in the weather today here after yesterday’s glorious sunshine. It rainedContinue reading “Mistified again”
An electric shock
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She had a very unflustered visitor sitting on her garden wall a day or two ago. We had a gloriously sunny day today. On the down side, it was below freezing when we woke up, but it soon warmed up a little. Although the temperature rose, itContinue reading “An electric shock”
