The River Tay August 27th 2013

Above The River Tay at Flisk North Fife. In the space of 5 minutes this was the sky. ever changing and quite spectacular. I was lured out by the sudden changing light. Moments in time captured, all impermanent of course.

 

Snow Flisk North Fife 2013

Snow again here at Flisk North Fife, not much but enough to prevent travel, fortunately it rained later, a slushy drive to Newburgh and all was well.
 Meanwhile the ducks were left to forage, gleaning scraps of grass in the snow though I do feed them grain. They have a compulsion to bill their way into the ground creating muddy holes in which was once a level lawn. Giving free range returns us with wonderful rich tasting eggs, I prefer mine poached. An ever changing view of Newburgh and the River Tay.

The River Tay February 6th 2013

The River Tay at Newburgh February 6th, some sunlight today yielding different qualities of light. Next is a view to the East, bright sunshine over the Carse of Gowrie, Dundee and the Sidlaw Hills.

A few hours later the sky takes on a different hue, the following are in sequence over a period of half an hour.

Getting cold, it was time for tea.

Every year we leave this stand of Marguerite Flowers until finished. Along with other plants in this meadow section of the garden they are cut down to reveal the gooseberry plants which they have protected from birds.
