More bluebells
I just couldn’t resist these, a gorgeous shade of blue with dappled sunlight on them.
Bluebell
I guess they’ll be coming to an end soon – but it’s been a good year for enjoying bluebells by the carpet-load in the local woods.
Lenticular Clouds
This particular shape of cloud normally requires mountains or hills in order to form, so I was mildly surprised to see a couple of examples of lenticular clouds near Portpatrick yesterday evening – Galloway not being noted for having any hills to speak of, least of all to the north west of here where the wind was coming from.
Sunset
Glowing bright yellow and orange clouds – a vibrant sunset a few days ago.
Undulating Landscape
Enoch Hill Radio Station (canmore id 215965 according to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland), taken from beside the A77 road.
I thought the evening light looked particularly appealing on the landscape with its gentle rolling hills.

Fallen Log
One of my favourite subjects is patterns of sunlight, shadow and trees.
A Splash of Black+White
Landscape is a very accessible genre in photography – or doesn’t take much effort to recognise the shape of gentle rolling hills.
Favourable Tree
There are several notable trees in the local woods – some for the slightly warped trunk shapes, but I like this one for the exuberant yet slightly spooky angles it throws its branches at.
Little Cloud
If there’s something not lacking in Galloway landscapes, it’s sky… Lots of sky… Big skies. Very big sky. And today is a particularly pleasant bright sunny day, yet not too hot, so all one has to do is look up and appreciate the clouds zipping by.
