more from the southwest


magical trams 


turn into boats 


and trains at a night time


the light show projected onto the tower base was great


and a final shot as I headed home to the hotel

galavanting wheels


the pleaseure beach has most of the big park rides 


but there is a big wheel and a few other smaller rides on the central pier


loved the reflections in a wee pool on the beach


and where the sea was slowly coming in  along the pierside

more from Blackpool


the lights are many and varied


and run for miles


along past all three piers


even the pleasure beach is all lit up

galavanting south west

trying to capture slow motion and freeze motion shots


and all the colours of the tower

galavanting in the woods


Autumn is definitely here regardless of the up and down temperature variations 


the conkers have formed and started dropping from the trees


as have the leaves.

galavanting with a phone


took a wee friend a walk went much further than planned 


ended up at the pond with only the phone camera 


which just hasn't done the colours and reflections justice I will have to go back with the big camera

galavanting with the lady



had a wee play about with the editing of my latest aurora photos


I tend to edit very little and like them more natural looking


or a bit closer to what I see, but then again thats not going to happen


As more often thasn not you see a white cloud like apparition and if lucky a green tinge 


but you can often see the movement or the pillars going up from the main cloudy looking bit when the lady dances.


I have on occasion seen the red and purple of the lady and some people can see more colour than others

loved the colours it was casting in the clouds

galavanting in the mist


last of the summer flowers


I was very late putting seeds in this year


and I have had bother with these ones for a few years just not coming at all, or maybe the slugs were getting them before I saw them appear!


but finally after lots of years trying I got my Nigella to grow, I love love in a mist shame the cornflowers didn't appear yet again though!

galavanting on cairn o mount


spotted these fowk on my way home 


learning how to lay out the chute


put on the harness and 


get the chute up in the air


then how to land and deflate the chute before it pulls you off the hillside!

unfortunatly by the time this wee lesson was over it had become too windy for them to actually paraglide!

galavanting apologies



Apologies for anyone that has been looking for a new post I have been spending a week with my Mum


while looking out the window I saw something moving in the  honeysuckle


much patience was needed as this wee birdie kept hopping round the other side of the tree


hiding among the tangled stems of the homeysuckle


it finally came into view below the sunflower head that mum put in for the birds to  eat the seeds


in a wee bit of shelter from the rain
