hard time seeing it.

both of these photos were taken in the garden within minutes
of each other yet are totally different. It demonstrates how
many worlds exist within our gardens at any one time and
perhaps that's one reason why so many people enjoy gardening.

Huge print



















Whilst this old building is being worked on there is a
photographic print of the building attached to the scaffolding.
I'm always fascinated by these prints...how big is the printer?
Love to see one being done.

The Who
























Haven't seen an old style WHO fan for years. This chap was
in Glasgow's Central Station.

Old Vauxhall



















Found this beauty in a supermarket car park in Dalry. I was
admiring it when a couple came up and asked if they could
sit in it for a photo as it was the wife's birthday. I laughed
and told them it wasn't my car. Mind you...I could have
charged them a fiver and hoped the owner wouldn't turn
up whilst I took the photo.

From the hill behind the church. Like the shadow of the tree.


















The circular wall that Chris Machin is building in the park is
coming on really well. Wonder what he's doing with all that
left over stone...I need a wall.
