  1. 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.

  2. Still very fatigued, so again only a short way to the old boathouse, sit below the leafy boughs of an old tree, and read for a while.

    Could do without the electric sparks on abused nervous system & sudden cramps in hands, though, chemo side effects, which are less than conducive to holding my book...

  3. The bus back from the hospital dropped me close to Harrison Park. I'm very tired, rather sore & should probably go home & nap, but it's so nice outside, & I want some time under a shady tree, listening to birdsong. Then home.

  4. Been struggling again today, feels like it's taking longer after each chemo to try & bounce back.

    Heavy, tired, cotton wool in the head feeling, didn't get far, just a short stroll by the old boathouse & sit by the water to get outside for a while.

  5. Evening reflections on the Union Canal, the waters in shadow from the tall trees, but the Neo-Gothic red stone tower of Polwarth Parish Church still basking in the sunlight of a summer solstice evening, perfectly reflected in the waters.

    Even at 8pm the sunlight still felt warm on my skin...

  6. After threatening more showers, the evening was actually rather beautiful, so I went for a second stroll, along the canal at Harrison Park. Found a bench and sat under a tree in lovely light to read my book, while the breeze whispered in the leaves above (I love that sound).

  7. Nice stroll through Harrison Park and along the canal.

    Paused to rest near the old boathouse, to pace myself and enjoy my book, but that cold wind was *not* conducive to outdoor reading for more than a few chapters.

  8. While I was reading below the trees by the canal, a young Egyptian lady & her toddler joined me on the bench.

    Wee lad was a smiler, & as I talked to him I got bigger smiles. Helped him launch small stick into the water & introduce him to the moorhen passing by, while enjoying a pleasant chat with his mum

  9. Since our Kelpies outing was foiled, I found myself home too early on such a nice day, so dump my bag, then off for a stroll.

    Now some reading by the old boathouse, to the sound of birds singing in the trees (sound up)

  10. "A transcendental figure without resolution," Mr Spock on the nature of Pi

    Okay, this is actually a close up of a mooring on the canal, catching evening light, but I thought it looked like a wee sculpture of the mathematical symbol, Pi, and was begging for a monochrome shot.
