The Botanic Gardens always provide some great photographic opportunities. Today I went along with my parents who were up visiting for a weekend of festival activities. They wanted to get some inspiration for their new garden so we headed straight to the alpine garden section of the Botanics. Considering it was quite breezy, I was …
James dragged me out for some fresh air, a walk in the park & some geocaching this afternoon. All very successful apart from the geocaching which we failed to find! I took the camera along and got a few shots which i’ve been having a play around with. Another regal lion statue to go with …
Last week we had a wicked weekend away in Germany for a friend’s wedding. Unfortunately there aren’t any wedding photos in this blog post – my DSLR didn’t quite match the outfit I had chosen to wear! I am, however, just popping a few on here which I took whilst in Munich and Nuremburg. On …
I’ve recently been hearing a lot of good things about North Berwick, so when deciding where to go for a fun day out it was at the top of my list. Its only about 40 minutes down the coast from Edinburgh but we’d never thought to visit before. I think we’ll definitely be going back! …
I’m just back from my second trip to Alberta – I was supposed to be there for the final day of the Calgary Stampede and I was looking forward to getting some shots of the action. Unfortunately a delayed flight from Glasgow resulted in us missing the connecting flight to Calgary and a 24-hour layover …
Okay so I’m finally giving in and showing some of the landscape shots that I took while we were away. I’ve tried to include some more traditional wide mountain shots as well as some which I will simply call “rural sights”. The first two photos were taken on the first walk of the week from …
The second selection of photos that I’d like to share from my holiday in the Lakes are a little more abstract I suppose. I enjoy spotting interesting patterns, textures and colour combinations. Nature is full of them. I love the knobbly, scratchy tree bark And from macro rock plant … …to distant tree tops. The …
I’ve just spent a lovely relaxing week in the Lake District in a cottage just outside of Keswick. My camera barely left my side all week. I’m sure you can imagine how many landscape shots were taken during the week. I was, however, keen to get a range of shots which I’m hoping to share …
I will often try to get out of the office for a little wander each lunchtime, simply to get away from my computer screen for half an hour. Today was a perfect day for a lunchtime stroll. I wandered to Princes Street Gardens where I ate my Boots Meal Deal before having a little walk …
Its good to try something new and this weekend we did just that – mom and dad were up visiting and organised for use to go land yachting. Now I’ve spend many a fun afternoon on West Sands in St Andrews, but this was something completely different. Jamie and Guy run their own company called Blown …
I returned yesterday from a week-long work trip to Alberta. More specifically we were holding 2 workshops – one in Calgary and one in Edmonton. We landed into Calgary on the Saturday Evening and spent Sunday sussing out the City & its transport systems. On Monday we were due to travel north to Edmonton. Now …
I LOVE St Andrews! Four years there as a student means I have some many fantastic memories of the town. We visit every now and again. Yesterday, after watching much of the Royal Wedding on TV we decided to go for the afternoon. We headed down to the cathedral to eat our lunch out of …
