A local enterprising farm has created a sunflower trail for visitors to enjoy. The trail was made using GPS techniques in the form of a map of Scotland. We had fun walking around it surrounded by a sea of sunflowers which were mostly facing in the same direction. An unusual thing to do in Scotland.

In Perth there are allotments on Moncreiffe island in the middle of the Tay. At the end of July they had an open day complete with live music and produce sales. So interesting to see what everyone has done with their space.

The Queen’s platinum jubilee weekend was an unusual event and on 2nd June we went to see the lighting of the jubilee beacon by the river Tay. It was a peaceful, tranquil evening with low key ceremony.

OBSCURED SUPERMOON – AGAIN!

December 26, 2017 by admin | 0 Comments

At the beginning of December the moon was unusually close to the Earth and looked very large – when it could be seen for cloud. My best attempt at photoing it was early in the morning of  4th December.

This year’s fireworks were set off from a new location in the middle of the South Inch.  They really were rockets being launched, especially in the finale.
