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”

Dogged determination

Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She is in Devon at the moment and sent me this nice shot of the bridge at Dulverton. After our clear moonlit night, we woke to a clear sunlit morning, a bit frosty but lovely. I walked up to the town quite early in the day toContinue reading “Dogged determination”

Powerless

Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair who spotted something interesting. We had another definitely springlike day here today. It was pleasantly warm and almost entirely dry. There was not as much sunshine as we would have liked by any means, but just not having any more rain was enough to stop us complainingContinue reading “Powerless”

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”

I wandered lonely in a cloud

Today’s guest picture comes from Sandy. He has temporarily forsaken Langholm for some sun, sea, and sand in Benidorm. He was impressed by this tree. We could have done with a bit of that sunshine here today but it wasn’t to be. It was reasonably warm (10°C/50°F) by the afternoon and pretty calm too, butContinue reading “I wandered lonely in a cloud”

Fleeting moments

Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone. He had occasion to visit Talkin Tarn near Brampton last week while on an outing with his oldest son who was visiting him. They didn’t walk round the tarn though. It was still snowing when we went to bed last night, so there was a moment of anticipation whenContinue reading “Fleeting moments”

A pedal and a prayer

Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie who is in Abu Dhabi at the moment. She says that it is almost as good as being in East Wemyss. We were neither in East Wemyss nor Abu Dhabi today so we were not surprised to wake up to another cold, grey day with a north-easterlyContinue reading “A pedal and a prayer”

A change of weather and a change of mind

Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo in Manitoba. She spotted a good example of a snow angel and liked the careful work involved. We actually had a glimpse of blue sky here as we got up this morning. However, it soon disappeared and I got rained on when I cycled round to the cornerContinue reading “A change of weather and a change of mind”

Mostly dodging the showers

Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He spotted this interesting cloud over East Wemyss. We had very variable weather here today with some heavy showers, some very gusty winds, and a bit of sunshine thrown in from time to time. One of the heavy showers came in the morning, but as we wereContinue reading “Mostly dodging the showers”

Up to a point

Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. It shows our granddaughter Evie leading me across the hill this afternoon. The guest picture takes away quite a lot of the tension that I was hoping to build up regarding whether the weather would lighten up in time to let us get out for a walk.Continue reading “Up to a point”
