I was walking through the botanic gardens in Glasgow on Sunday morning and heard a rummaging noise from inside a bin. This enterprising squirrel was inside the bin getting his breakfast. I'm sure crisps aren't the healthiest snack a squirrel could eat though.

Can you see Orion?

Jings crivvens February already. I felt the urge to go and stare at the stars last night. Something I don't get a chance to do that often these days. I've been interested in astronomy since I was 8. I'm not geeky about it though. I'm more content, in the words of Iris Dement, to "let the mystery be". If I think about it too much my brain starts going into meltdown trying to comprehend the scale, what's out there, what's the point, etc.

Orion is the first constellation I managed to identify all those years ago and so I regard orion as *my* constellation :-) Always makes me smile when I see it. This photo was taken last night over at the Carron Valley Reservoir.

The west of Scotland has been hammered by extremely bad weather recently which has severely disrupted the boats going over to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. I'd been trying to get over to see my Gran. Fortunately there's been a break in the weather and I managed to get over yesterday and took these photos with my wee canon ixus 50 on the way home.
