Taking the camera for a walk!!!
Hi all, this is my first time posting for the photo challenge. I thought I'd start off with one that's quite straight forward so opted for this week's one entitled Trees. I often find that although not always the subject of a particular photo, they can form a very useful, natural picture frame (as seen... Continue Reading →
One of the great places to visit in Cumbernauld is Cumbernauld House Park. My wife and I are regular visitors to the park, which is popular with many locals with or without dogs. The park is steeped in history and covers an extensive area, hence the three posts. This first deals with the original castle... Continue Reading →
I think I need to start wearing blinkers when out and about in Cumbernauld (only kidding - I would miss all there was to see) as all my walks take far longer than intended. I was out for a bimble with my wife to Cumbernauld House Park, specifically to get some photos of an info... Continue Reading →

Glasgow Botanic Gardens are well worth a visit, particularly if you like taking your camera for a day out. The variety of plant life within the glasshouses and outwith is fantastic. The only downside is that you can easily come away with a couple of hundred photos which are then hard to sift through. I... Continue Reading →
As our squirrel army grows, we are used to seeing them of all shapes and sizes in the garden. You can pretty much be assured of looking out of the window at any time of the day and seeing one of the fuzzy little troopers. Most of our visitors are of a reasonable size--as shown... Continue Reading →
Following on from my last post about beach art, here are a few more photos from down on the beach. Although the weather was not the best, this is still a great place to be. It was quiet and peaceful but this is probably more to do with the timing of our mid-week visit and... Continue Reading →
