Pictures from the garden

Heather

 
 I'm going to start by saying that today was actually warm for once! I didn't even have to wear a jacket! Those of you who live in warmer climates probably don't understand the significance of of heat after winter - let me tell you, it is bliss. So, in this brilliant heat, I took a few pictures of my garden because the sun was shining and everything looked all summery! And as you can tell the weather put me in a good mood.

Tadpoles in the pond

Just sunbathing...

For some reason this photo doesn't want a caption so I'll just write it up here. This is a hoverfly...sitting on a flower. Yup.

The cutest dog ever...(in my opinion)

Some photographs I took recently...my favourite has to be the one of my friend's dog Fergus. He's so adorable!

Do you see what I mean?

And today's photos are...

Today was the first really sunny day we've had since...probably summer. And it was WARM! Ok, so when I say warm I mean around 10 Celsius, but that's relatively toasty compared to the weather we've been getting. I took these photos on my way down to my gran's...

I think this building used to be part of a farm. It's now no longer in use and in the middle of a residential area.

 The bright colours of the plastics here caught my eye as I walked past an industrial estate.

 It was a cool bike. I had to take a photo. 'Nuff said!

After the last couple of days, rain and sun have caused the snow on the high ground to melt and now the river looks like it's about to burst.

Hope you liked these pictures. I'd appreciate your feedback if you have any! :)

Spring Frogs



Spring is springing and all the animals are getting...well...frisky. The frogs that live in my gran's pond are no exception. So, since they were splashing around and acting absolutely ridiculous I thought I'd take a few pictures.

 

 

 

Look at his guy! I swear he's smiling! This has to be one of the funniest pictures I've ever taken!

And this one's the complete opposite. I think I'll call him Grumpy.

 Frogs have such massive eyes. They're quite pretty actually...

 My brothers insisted on trying to catch the frogs since there were so many (I had to join in too). The frogs actually didn't seem to mind much and were quite happy to sit in our hands.

Some frogs were friendlier than others. This frog got the completely wrong end of the stick and seemed to think that my brothers hand was a lady frog and errr...refused to let go.

Hope you liked the pictures!

Towels

Yes, you are looking at pictures of towels. I just thought I'd post them because it proves that you really can take photos of anything and quite like these pictures really!

New pics

Hey everyone! I know I said on my google profile that I'd have pictures up on Friday or Saturday, but I was a little bit busy with family gatherings and what not. So, I finally have some stuff to put up and I hope you enjoy them.

Sunny Day

I took these photos yesterday, which was actually warm! Yay! Spring is just round the corner (the snowdrops are even coming up) and that means no more cold weather! I suppose winter isn't all that bad, but you do get sick of it after a while. The photos are from my walk in Bluebell woods (yes, I went walking there...again). To be fair, there really aren't too many walks around Blairgowrie...okay that's a lie, but Bluebell woods is the walk that's closest to my house. I've been thinking that I should start doing some portrait photography because I think it's good to go out of your comfort zone and explore new things. I'm writing this listening to the news and I have to say I really don't hear anything positive, so hopefully these photos will put a bit of cheer out into the world. Fingers crossed.

By the way, if you take a look at the third picture from the top, you'll notice that it's a discarded plastic bottle. I put this picture in amongst the others to highlight the problem of littering in the countryside. Yesterday was a beautiful day but I couldn't help notice the amount of rubbish that had been dumped around the loch. Please think before you drop litter! Not only does it look disgusting, it's bad for the environment and just inconsiderate to other people.

Yeah, rant over :)
