Went for an early evening drive to Gullane last night on the east coast of Scotland. This was my first visit there and I'll definitely be back. Had a very pleasant walk along the beach then round by the wooded area. My plan was to get some seabird photos but they were too far offshore for my lens. Still I got a bird (of sorts!) and a photo of a sandwich tern.

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.
