Spring is here!



Does the page show the whole picture on desktop? Seems to have cut out the right hand side on my mobile.

{{ That's a very blue sky, and a very brown Thames! Great view though.

Seems fine on my desktop Lance }}

The river is always brown, it is the natural silt on the riverbed. Although I am sure there are various pollutants in there that is not what makes it that colour.

{{ So long as its not the bodily waste of over 5 million people crammed in a small space! That'd be even worse than my privy }}

I dont think it would be, but no it's not. That only happens when it rains really badly!

{{ Been very spring like last two days, doubt it will last, but another fine sunrise today }}



























{{ And I dont know if to distract from Brexit the UK is planning to go annoy someone this week, but it looks like we are planning to annoy someone! One big fella and two little nippy buggers.}}

Does that big battleship know you're busy snapping pictures of it?

I recommend being circumspect, though your kilt could probably repel any remonstrative missile.

Brilliantly well timed snaps

in my hometown they're nearing a snow record at this time.. a few inches away from beating the old time ever record from 1997 with almost 3 meters with snow. 2, 40 cm. 32 cm during the night... nature's april fools day i guess..

two months left and then i am no longer a student, hopefully, and adult life knocks on the door.

Hello Norc That video !! Spring is blossoming but today has been very cold & full of Hailstone showers.

snømengder skaper kaos!!


Nordmenn tvunget til å se uendelige gjenopprør av Venner og fiender...

{{ This piece on my little town is both a perfect example of why Scots are not particularly racist, we don't have the time as it's not foreigners you have to worry about its those Scottish bastards over there! And highlights wonderfully something Tolkien was fond of pointing out in hobbits as a critique about small town and village thinking, because those Bucklanders, they arent like us, bit queer with queer ways, not to be trusted  In my home town the most likely excuse to be blamed for any social issue will nearly always be, 'its all the folk they let in from across the Water.' (that being the river Clyde in this case, just commonly referred to as the Water and everything from Gourock to Glasgow and beyond as, 'across the Water')}}}

{{ Spring has finally sprung and the gorse is in bloom! Went for a walk on the local golf course with Nagual earlier.}}

Those flower shots are close to wow-inducing.  But it kind of hacks me off that you can be 10 degrees of latitude further north and have full-blown spring while we are just seeing buds.  East coast versus west coast climatology but I don't have to like it.

That 4th pic is gorgeous !!! Happy cheerful pics

{{Another fine spring day today, so another trip up the golfie, this time with my Better Half

and I still dunno what it is May is planning as a Brexit distraction, but something up!









Otherwise was a lovely walk again among the gorse and green fairways and among the trees }}

love the gorse bushes and the photo of the line of trees, very GoTs.

More like Outlander.

{{Amazingly spring is still, well spring-like!

Just a walk downtown today with the Better Half and a short walk along the Promenade. }}

That big tree wants climbing.

{{ After you Halfy!

Stunning sunrise today, with a sun that looked more like it should be rising over an African savannah or something than Scotland!}}

If I ever make it to your little town, give me a boost and I'm up that tree, clear to the top!

{ I will happily hold your jacket Halfy, assuming hair balls have jackets that is, and cheer you on with a buckie as you do. But I wont be joining you, buckie and tall trees don't mix (unless I've been chased up there by Huan- now there''s a call back! )

Another big orangey-red sun rise this morning, unfortunately it was behind a cloud bank, and I only got a glimpse of it. }}
