Up near the Heart of Midlothian, with the strong sunlight bouncing off the pavement, this little girl's hat was lovely.

The male and female took up their positions on the trees with the best vantage points and made an almighty racket to distract us. With a descending gloom (our wonderful summer) I had to use ISO 800. You can see it a little in the noise, but worth it to get a shutter speed without camera-shake.

1500 feet up at the edge of Cruachan Dam, this well-camouflaged frog was making its way to the water.

I like this becuase although we were miles away, as the sun moved round into the west you could see some detail in the Northern slopes of (not Goat Fell, that's further round) these Arran peaks.

Hereford and the South

Last week we went down south for a trip round parts of England that I don't know well at all. The last 5 photos were all taken on that trip. Lovely weather and great scenery. I'm a convert.

Of all the photo's I took in this field, it was this one, with interrupted skyline which stood out - is it that it reminds me of the painting of Salisbury Cathedral?

The valley below hay Bluff provided some fantastic scenery, with the patchwork of fields stretching for miles and miles.
