  • Helical

    A glorious early autumn day, after a walk on Aberdour beach we called in by the Kelpies, got the only free car park space (thank you to Grandma Lil, who exerts her influence from upstairs at times like these). Despite the pylons and power lines, there are an infinite number of photo opportunities, although it…

  • Overlooked

    After a fascinating tour backstage at the Royal Lyceum Theatre yesterday, we took a short walk to the Scottish National Galleries of Modern Art (One and Two) , there to see the Surrealism exhibition. I think I need to do a lot more research on the Dada movement to be able to understand it better,…

  • Vision Off

    Enduring some antics on behalf of the PC, erstwhile abode of the photo archive.  The in house tech team has marshalled all his resources and performed miracles in restoring a semblance of normality, at a particularly trying time work wise for both of us, so yet again huge respect is due. Updating BTW on the…

  • Peregrinations

    Having spent two days doing  A Thing That Had To Be Done, I now have some time of my own to pop some cheerier pictures on here.   On Saturday we went to the badlands south of the the river, and firstly ascended Cairnpapple Hill, to find it full of some most interested cows, which…

  • Train of thought

    Well, I had hoped to be posting some pictures tomorrow of the Flying Scotsman on her journey round the Fife Circle, but as we all know now, that ain’t going to happen, since thanks to glorious ineptitude on someone’s part, no-one checked if the train would fit.  Now, the identification of untested assumptions is all…

  • Déja view

    I have an awful lot  to do just now,  paperwork is mounting visibly and I really need to find a new job, so the obvious thing to do on a sunny, cold Saturday morning was go right back to Vane Farm and climb that hill again.  Happily, although we didn’t see the reds this time,…

  • By the dock, of The Bay

          Waiting for the rest of the band to sprauchle up the steps, taken by Paul as part of the artwork for the forthcoming Opus II.      Band in place. I should add that my sprauchle was the least dignified but I was the only one wearing high heels.  And now some birdy…

  • Circulation

    There’s a word to think about, circulation figures governed my life when I worked for Menzies.  Movement of any kind in the transport sense is a huge issue for us just now and my husband had that full throttle last night as he attempted to get to Glasgow from The Bay,  and in the sense…

  • Windy Miller

    A rare day out to RSPB Loch Leven or Vane Farm as it’s known in our house.   Don’t ask me how I prised these shots from my camera, unless you want a three hour rant about SD cards and readers.  Very windy there yesterday, birds mostly in hiding, unlike the rooks and magpies who are…
