Here in the UK our clocks change tonight, formally heralding the beginning of British Summer Time but in reality simply letting us all know that it’s time that Spring has well and truly sprung! 🙂
Spring Has Definitely Sprung

Red Pelargonium
Another red pelargonium for today’s Cee’s Flower of the Day and also for Nancy Merrill’s Photo a Week Challenge: Red
Inverness Castle
Apparently there’s been a succession of castles on this site since 1057, although this particular version of Inverness Castle has only been here since 1836. It currently houses the Sherrif Court, so the only time in my life I’ve ever been inside the castle was when I was on jury service, many years ago 🙂
My New Neighbourhood
We’ve recently moved from London to Inverness, and have bought a house close to the Northernmost end of the Caledonian Canal… this is the view from Muirtown Locks, the part of the canal we see right at the end of our road 🙂
This afternoon I took a walk further along the path leading towards the mouth of the canal, where it meets the sea of the Beauly Firth…
At the mouth of the canal there is a huge stone welcoming everyone to the Caledonian Canal…
And some interesting sea-worthy structures to photograph…
I can see I’m going to enjoy living in our new home in Inverness! 🙂
Clachnaharry Sea Lock
The lock keeper’s house at the northern end of the Caledonian Canal at Clachnaharry, Inverness, looking very atmospheric in the late afternoon light…
Photo A Week: Stacked
Stones stacked tightly together make a solid and stable wall… and then one day, a section becomes unceremoniously unstacked and suddenly the wall is no longer solid or stable, or even a wall any more… 😦
Potato Picking
These harvested potatoes are certainly very new – the red machine is picking them straight out of the ground, and the yellow elevator passes them over into one of ten waiting wooden boxes on the trailer alongside. Images taken from our bedroom window at my parent’s house in the North of Scotland 🙂
