Cambo Beach (28 Feb 2016)

Cambo is a favourite when snowdrops are out. I park at Kingsbarns which has a big car park and is on the Fife Coastal Path. It’s a lovely…

Bullrushes, Birnie Loch (27 Feb 2016)

I love the fluffy seed heads on bulrushes, and here I also love the contrast between the sharp stalks, and the water behind. Shutter speed: 1/320s Aperture: ƒ/5.6 ISO: 200 Focal…

Explorer’s Garden

The Explorer’s Garden in Pitlochry is another gem. It looks at the lives of some of Scotland’s most noted plant hunters, and their contributions to the way our…

Partial Solar Eclipse (20 Mar 2015)

It’s rare to see anything of an eclipse this far north so I made the best of it.  This image shows the shadow of my colander and every…
