It is spring. In a couple of months all these trees will be full of greenery and the grasses will be high.

Nice crisp morning with a lovely blue sky...could spring be on it's way?  Airyhall House, nicely framed by a couple of trees.

Took all day to wallpaper the spare bedroom, but all done now and looking nice and fresh.

A clear night makes it a great chance to snap the moon - beats howling at it anyways!

Two Little Ducks.....isn't that 22 in Bingo Lingo?

All the Grandkids at the park...what could make a better Saturday?

A carnation in the beautiful bouquet of flowers that Willie and Wilma sent to Janelle on her birthday.  Flowers are one of my favourite photographic subjects so expect more in this blog as the year goes on.

Now you see it now you don't. The summerhouse proved too tall. Now we have to think again!

Our shed has gone and the essential plants have all been moved. The new summerhouse arrives tomorrow morning and will take a couple of days to build... Watch this space. Thanks Brian for all your help.

I don't understand how going to LOOK at summerhouses ends up with delivery and construction in two days time!!

Two young lads playing hoola hoop or two neds hanging about? Bronze statues in Perth Centre.

We have all heard of the three craws that sat upon a wa' - but what about the seven seagulls that sat upon a fence? - Down by the Dee

I took a photo of my keyboard and was appalled by how filthy it was.....one wet wipe and clean later, you could eat your breakfast from it!!!

12 FEBRUARY 2013

One of the many welcome visitors to the garden.  We just need to fill the feeders and word gets around the bird fraternity!

11 FEBRUARY 2013

Woke up this morning and had two monsters for breakfast.  Had the kids for a sleep over so the highlight is always breakfast in bed with Grandma.

10 FEBRUARY 2013

Just when you thought the snow had gone away!

9 FEBRUARY 2013

Still a tad chilly out there today.

8 FEBRUARY 2013

A very colourful Victorian street vent in Holburn Street at its junction with Justice Mill Lane...OK so how many times have you passed it by and never noticed it?

7 FEBRUARY 2013

Not a day for sitting out in the garden.  Cold and still with a touch of snow.

6 FEBRUARY 2013

My two guitars.  The 12 string has been with me since I was about 18 and it's little brother the 6 string Stagg only joined us last year.

5 FEBRUARY 2013

Driving home at 5.45pm on a cold wet and dark night, I had forgotten what rush hour traffic was like.

4 FEBRUARY 2013

Walking to school with Matthew this morning I had just said that we hadn't seen deer for a while when we spotted five in the small woodland stretch between the road and the houses.  Who was most surprised...us or the deer?

3 FEBRUARY 2013

Someone's had a party, just wish they had taken their rubbish home with them.

2 FEBRUARY 2013

Woke this morning to a return of the snow.  Where is Tenerife when you need it?

1 FEBRUARY 2013

What a difference 12 hours make.  Woke up in warm and sunny Tenerife and travelled back to cold and wet Aberdeen - fire on and heating turned up..... Brrrrr.
