I've looked at clouds from both sides now.....

On my way to work this morning I spotted this rather cool cloud formation.

A Walk in the Pentlands

I had a fantastic walk in the Pentlands today with members of the Glasgow Hillwalking Group.

There were some breathtaking views to see, here is one I took with my trusty mobile phone camera.

Spring is here!

I went for a walk in Princes Street gardens and just loved the way the sun shined on the carpet of crocus flowers, I think the colours are amazing.

Snowdrop

I went on a snowdrop walk at the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh and picked up a poem as part of the "Carry a Poem" event. I think it is a very sweet poem and complements my picture of the snowdrop rather well.

Touching the silver!

What an amazing sight and what a Valentines day!
We went out to watch the Round 2 cup tie of the Rugby League Challenge Cup - Edinburgh Eagles Vs Blackwood Bulldogs and came face to face with the Challenge Cup Trophy which is currently touring the UK to promote Rugby League (a far superior game to that of Rugby Union - in my opinion). It was quite an honour to get so close to the cup and made for a wonderful Valentines Day even thoug the Edinburgh Eagles sadly lost the match - the result was 16 - 28 which was a big shame as I would love to see Rugby League take off in Scotland.

Knit Graffiti

Here is an example of Knit Graffiti or Yarn Bombing I came across on Bristo Square in Edinburgh. This is a totally harmless form of graffitti and is, I think, actually quite good fun and really adds a bit of colour to the world. This is one of the more sedate versions as there are some much more creative examples -click on the following links to hear more about it;
