Those nice people at Scottish Field bought some of my photos for their 2027 calendar. This one (like 99%) was taken on a dog walk.

A day late, but today’s @artukdotorg.bsky.social #OnlineArtExchange #InternationalDogDay with Titbits, 1929, by Harold Harvey. Owned by the Bowerman Trust, it will be back on show at Penlee House in October. 🐕
An oil painting depicts two women in 1920s fashion standing in a room with a small dog, one in a plaid skirt and cape, the other in a pink dress.

Stanhope Forbes’s The Seine Boat (1904) is currently on display in Gallery 5. On long-term loan, the ‘seine’ net shown in the boat was used to catch pilchards, while the ‘tuck’ net, used alongside it, can be seen in the boat behind.
An oil painting shows six men and boys in a small boat on calm water, with one man pointing toward the horizon while others look on in the sun.

It's going to be a hot one down south today, so if you need something to cool you down, here's a video taken in early Spring looking over the Inner Sound towards the snow topped Cuillin Hills on the Ice of Skye. The tide is slowly coming in. Volume up to hear the sea.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Extraordinary beauty this morning in Braemar. The Morrone birkwood is high enough to retain the freezing fog longer into the day. And then, even after the fog clears and the hillsides warm up, the Braemar frost hollow keeps the woodland cold.
