Winter and summer 🌱📸🌸🌳❄️
#gardening #winter #Scotland
#Aberdeenshire #Beechgrove
2 photos of the same view - a pathed oath runs between glasshouses and potting shed. The left inage is taken in late November, snow is melting and the view is a winter monochrome; the left photo is taken in July and the area is full of colourful pots of dahlias, cosmos, agapanthus and scabious.

Walking through the melting snow, I saw this and felt a little warmer
📸 🎨🌳 #art #streetart
#Aberdeen #Scotland
A door in a stone wall, on a northern city street (you can’t see, but h the recent snow is melting). The door is painted - blue sky fading to white, dry, cracked yellow-ochre ground and a striking Baobab tree in the centre. There is also, what seems to be a flying whale in the sky.

The terrain gets a muted feel this time of year….
The winding waterway is calm and peaceful around the vista’s muting hues as time passes towards Winter.

I am astounded by how incredible the patterns inside icebergs can be. This does not look like frozen water!

Fellsfjara, #Iceland, Nov 2025
Ice formations inside an iceberg, taken close up. The ice looks like a winding tube made of a gold/silver metal - does not look like ice at all!

I produce flower paintings every year but it's dim and dismal out there with pouring rain and very little subject matter. Taking a look back at photos of some older work in progress from a decade ago

Goodnight.
🖼️ Moon Meadow, Josie Wren.
A painting titled Moon Meadow by artist Josie Wren; a large, personified moon with a sleeping face hovering above a dense meadow of foliage. The full moon is set in the night sky dotted with small stars. The moon has closed eyes and rosy cheeks. The lower two-thirds of the image are filled with tall, dark green and yellowish-green grass and ferns. Several small, white, moth-like butterflies or flowers are scattered throughout the lower part of the meadow.
