Edinburgh in sunset/sunrise mode.
A beautiful city, with fabulous architecture and endless history, there are endless photo opportunities here, especially in that golden hour.
The light and dark of spring.
Suddenly there are flowers everywhere in the woods, new blossoms to attract the pollinators but some like up hide in the shadows - maybe a little shy at how pretty they are.

Maybe it's getting a bit crazy 🤔
The pipe inside makes a V-shaped round trip. You modulate the note by moving your thumb in front of the pipe outlet.

A great capture the other day, I was out looking for baby foxes but managed to get this deer family outing.
We have dad and mum with 2 kids bringing up the rear, so lovely to see 🙂
The sudden explosion of teeny baby bunnies around here is lovely to see.
Little grass eating fluff balls, including our own bin-bunny, happily living behind them while he can (before he gets too big 🐰)
Save your fences, save our forests! Did you know you can get many more years of life from your wooden fence by waterproofing it? I see a lot of people whose fences turn to barn wood, then rot, then they have to replace the fence.
Even a fence originally built with 'treated wood' eventually needs help if you want it to last -- and reduce the need for more wood and logging of our precious forests.
Waterproofing compounds sink into the wood -- some are oil-based. They are not paint and don't peel. You need to do the water proofing, usually about every 7 years or so. When you do repeat waterproofing, there is no sanding or complicated prep work -- as long as you avoid the brands that leave a film.
If you don't do waterproofing, you might get only 5 to 15 years out of your fence. Waterproofing is way cheaper than replacing the fence.
