I turn 50 years at the end of February (if I haven’t mentioned it enough times). As a gift to my self I’m buying some…

I can’t remember whether I have seen it before or not but I was walking in the woods by the river Tay when I came…
My brother Steve came up to visit in October and we had a nice time together for which I’m really grateful. He’d lost weight and…
Something to be grateful for first thing in the morning.
It is a navel gazing time of year but this year I feel more reflective than usual. I’ll be 50 in less that two months…
I’ve not enjoyed rustling through the frosty leaves for a shot so much in ages. It is so much easier being digital than using Fuji…
With the cloud rolling in across the cold ground the Pentlands were obscured and the golf course became and island.
I just discovered that I can embed Flickr images by just cutting and pasting the URL like this: Unfortunately it looks like it only does…
I have been increasingly dissatisfied with the way Flickr displays my photographs. This is linked with my inability to get on well with social media in general, perhaps with the exception of Twitter. Here is a screen shot of what my Flickr page looked like just before I took the hatchet to it.
Had a lovely couple of hours doing the Pedal On Parliament ride today and took the opportunity to spend the time photographing people. Everyone was…
Andy has worked at the botanics for over 25 years and is actually a lot more cheerful than he appears in this photo – but…
Norman was working with Andy to build the National Organ Donor Memorial in the gardens. He is a drystane dyker by trade but many years…
Finally got around to photographing Reuben. We had just been having a meeting about putting children’s drawings on line and generally sorting out the problems…
Greg runs the education programs and is such a nice guy. We talked about work whilst he ate his lunch and took a couple of…
Colin works in estates and although I walk past his office every day we have rarely spoken. I caught him “vaping” outside and he was…
Martin runs the conifer conservation project and, as conifers don’t have flowers and are considered ‘lower’ plants he is located in the basement along with…
David is one of our senior scientists who is just about to leave (partially retire?) to live abroad. He works on Diatoms which are considered…
Number 63 in my series. Colin was very relaxed about coming to be photographed. The day was overcaste again I stood him by the window…
I have known Mark for 25+ years so it is actually quite odd photographing him. The days continue to be overcaste and dull so light…
I think I have found myself a new studio. There is a staircase with a very tall window that I thought would give light too…
I had liked the light in Lorna’s office when I had been in for meetings but when I went in this time it was pretty…
The dreek weather and short days continue. This shot was taken at 1:10pm and that is a South facing window! I decided to use the…
The light over the last week has been really rubbish. Although most of the shots I have been doing have been indoors it is surprising…
David is leaving to work at another institute at the end of the month so was in a hurry to put things in order. I’m…
I had warned Stephan I might catch him for a photo and he was very relaxed about it. He seems comfortable in his own skin.…
I was looking for David but found Louise – someone I had wanted to photograph but not warned yet. She has been getting into photography…
I’ve been having fun this weekend with a postcard that was posted in 1925. I think the image on the card was taken quite…
I finally managed to get talking to Jimmy when he was free and I was free and the light was OK. We stepped outside to…
I’m really pleased with today’s photo. Tamsin comes along to the meditation group on Fridays and for breakfast after. The room has two story South…
