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.

One of my favourite subjects is patterns of sunlight, shadow and trees.
Landscape is a very accessible genre in photography – or doesn’t take much effort to recognise the shape of gentle rolling hills.
Taken last night: a small cluster of red, yellow and yummy purple tulips in golden evening light.
A gorgeous display of colour – flowers catching the evening sunlight in the garden.

Large rhubarb plant
Turned into this:
Proto-crumble
I’m optimistic for rhubarb crumble later 🙂
A slightly different view of the coastal town of Portpatrick, taken from just above the harbour at the foot of the Southern Upland Way. There’s even seats beside the steps to sit and admire the view 🙂
Today is not a day like this, so I thought I’d post this as a reminder of what gorgeous sunlight on a pleasant warm evening feels like.
This evening involved planting carrots.
We spent the afternoon pottering around the garden.
First, the fencepost on which the external road-visibility mirror is mounted got repainted a nice shade of green:
We planted several tomatoes and made a start on some potatoes:
and some bedding plants – lobelia to flop over the sides of planters:
and some more petunias:

Such domestication. The garden is gradually beginning to look more ready for whatever the summer growth-spurt brings!
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.
You can’t beat a roaring snug wood fire 🙂
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.
