peeks of my week

I’ve been trying to complete the photo scavenger hunt with things I am doing during the week and not stage any.  I think the challenges are getting harder – but then it is a challenge.  The first one, long exposure, is hard with a point and click but after several attempts finally worked out a way to make it work.

Long exposure – starting a new shape on my zentangle page.  I enjoy these doodles and have been learning more patterns each week to add to my repertoire. 

Shape – last week we went to see the red kites, a bird that used to be native in Scotland but was shot out of existence and has now been re-introduced.  The curve of the tail and fingered ends to the wings are their distinctive shape.

Green – on our walk to the waterfall (in my last post) we walked along through beech trees and Douglas firs – I loved the contrasting greens of the two trees.

Fruit – I will have a good crop from the strawberry plants I put in my garden this year

Childhood memories – Yesterday I went to the Leith festival gala day which has lots of performances and stalls from local groups.  We used to go to several local fairs when I was a child.  Yesterday it rained all day but this did not deter the stall holders or the visitors – and I remember going to fairs in the rain as a child too so a double memory.
