She is currently turned out in her BR guise, complete with smoke deflectors. Personally I think there is almost no colour better than BR Green for almost any steam engine, other than Garter Blue on an A4 and black on Black 5s and Black 8s.
There were also beautiful views of the Ochils with the last of the winter’s snow, and the Devon valley.
Cambo Beach is a favourite when snowdrops are out. I park at Kingsbarns and walk along the beach to the woodland. The beach itself has gorgeous patterns in the sand.
I love the fluffy seed heads on bulrushes, and here I also love the contrast between the sharp stalks, and the water behind.
New Years Day 2016 was brisk and cold. There are lots of attractive geometric shapes there.
I visited these Falls after torrential rain in the previous couple of days – almost an inch at home on Boxing Day, the 26th. Roads had been closed and there were still deep pools of water and lots of gravel had been washed over the road.
I wish I could remember where this bench is! The colour is wonderful, and I like the patterns of recent rain on it.
THE David. The statue by Michelangelo, in the Accademia in Florence. it’s wonderful, as are his others in the gallery, and floats above the crowds on a tall plinth.
