  1. Post Raft Race stroll to a favoured watering hole, Bennetts. I love the tiny knitted cap on one of the ale taps.

    Lovely mixed berry cider on draught, delicious, although it did look like I was drinking a pint of Ribena...

  2. Singer by the Leamington Lift Bridge was entertaining us between races. At one point he sang Scottish kid's song, "ye cannae shove yer granny off the bus", then repeated it, but in the style of Oasis!

    I don't even like Oasis much, but that was cool and fun!

  3. Harrison Park this evening. I was using the big zoom on the main camera to take close-ups of the gargoyles on the church tower earlier.

  4. Starting to see golden and brown leaves appearing amongst the mostly green leaves on the trees already, even a few starting to fall.

    Autumn is not at the door yet, but it is perhaps at the garden gate...

  5. Two person kayak passing the old boathouse, by Harrison Park, as I relax by the water with my book.

  6. Looking at the raft race programme for tomorrow, and it talks of "water tasters" and "canoe tasters".

    I know what they actually mean (boat rides, chance to try a canoe), but the phrasing conjures up a very different image! Not sure I would want to taste the canal water! And as for "canoe taster" sessions, will they have vegan canoes available too??

  7. #Edinburgh peeps, this Saturday is the Raft Race
    edinburghcanalfestival.org.uk/

    This is what started the now annual Canal Festival earlier in the summer, although for some reason now it is no longer during the Canal Fest but in a different month. Some great, crazy raft designs, usually a lot of fun to watch

  8. Bokeh

    Trying for the "bokeh" effect, where one object is in sharp focus & light, the background in soft focus. The good light this day helped a lot...

    It's also a reminder to stop sometimes & focus (literally, here!) on the little details & how magical they can be

  9. what utter arsebag is letting off extremely loud fireworks (and a *lot* of them) around Gorgie at 6.50 in the evening?? I mean you won't even be able to see them, it is daylight, so guessing neds doing it just to make loud noises??? Or kickyball fan eejits??

  10. Big roar overhead - that'll be the RAF fly-past going very low over #Edinburgh Castle for the Royal Military Tattoo.

  11. And on the red carpet today at the film festival, after his double BAFTA wins for Most Atrocious Pun in a Film Script, and Worst Dressed Person in Cinema...
