Mini House Martin

This really shouldn't be on the Photo Blog, but he is so cute!

Gargoyles

I seem to have developed an interest in gargoyles after I saw this one on the side of a tower in Edinburgh Castle. I went and saw Batman Begins this week and somehow the gargoyle seems more contemporary ;-)

Day trip to Ravensheugh Sands (near Dunbar) - 2nd July

I'm really lucky that I live in Scotland. If the weather is good (like today) I'm only a VERY few miles from some of the most beautiful scenery, wild flowers and birds in the world!

See below and tell me if I'm lying!
