Hazy start this morning has been followed by a hazy day. Happy hump day BlueSky.

Bright misty morning over the Cree valley. The fields are dew covered and green, the tide in the estuary is out. You can't see Cairnsmore.

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 22/07/2025

The farmer has installed a fence, single strand with insulators so I assume electric? I'm not sure if it's to keep me out or the brassicas in. Hope your day is more promising than mine BlueSky.

Leafy crop growing in the field next door, the valley is grassy. The sky is overcast with clouds all the way down. The distant hills are nowhere to be seen.

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 21/07/2025

back to work after two weeks away from it all. My laptop was very unhappy about being switched back on this morning. Lovely to see that absolutely nothing has improved with the world after two weeks of me ignoring it. I hope you have a great week BlueSky.

Blues skies over the Cree valley this morning. The green growth in the field next door is leafy and the plants in the rockery are unkempt and dew covered.

Happy Friday everyone. TIL that on the other side of the river they bail the silage rather than trailer it away.

Sunshine briefly breaks through the clouds in the Cree valley. In the foreground is the green roof of my neighbors sheds. The estuary is near the top of the tide and beyond you can see the fields and buildings of the other farmer. There may even be rain falling on the uplands beyond.

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 03/07/2025

Cool and still start to the day here in the Cree valley. I expect it will be just as warm and sunny later as it was yesterday. Have a good one BlueSky, nearly there.

Cairnsmore under a cap of cloud this morning, the fields in the valley have been mowed and are light green. I have no idea what's growing in the field next to me but it's leafy.

052

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 02/07/2025

Rain in the distance today, no doubt we'll get our share. Nice and cool but I've still got the doors open. Happy hump day BlueSky.

Rain clouds obscure the hills this morning. They've been cutting the grass fields and you can just make out the lighter shades of green between the hedges. Something leafy grows in the field in the immediate foreground.

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 01/07/2025

Warming up fast here. Going to be a glorious day. Have a good one BlueSky.

Clar blue skies above some morning clouds and the Galloway hills. Green fields and hedges in the foreground.

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 30/06/2025

It's pleasantly warm here with no direct sunshine. I've a busy week before the holidays begin in earnest. Taking time off just isn't something my employer seems geared up for in my case. I fully predict something will go horribly wrong as soon as I'm away from my laptop.

Bright but cloudy day over the Cree valley. Green fields and they've started cutting the grass down on the flood plain.

130

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 27/06/2025

Cool refreshing rain. Still warm enough to have the doors wide open in the office though. Happy Friday everyone.

New view particularly, just cloud and soft rain. Some nice chases of green on the fields though.

331

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 26/06/2025

Raining again. Scottish summer at its best. Clearly the best of the weather here is a little earlier than official summer. Still it's very warm. Have a good one BlueSky.

Rain clouds moving across the Galloway hills this morning. There is some light getting though but it is overcast. Green fields and hedges of the Cree valley in the foreground.

471

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 25/06/2025

If I had to guess I'd say it won't rain as much today here. Happy hump day BlueSky.

Wispy clouds on the clopes of Cairnsmore. Overcast day in the Cree valley with a view of the estuary and fields on the flood plain.

231

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 24/06/2025

It's rained here most of the morning. Obviously the kids are supposed to be having some kind of outdoor fun day at school and it's chucking it down. Glorious. Have a good one BlueSky.

Rainy day in the Cree valley. The clouds obscure almost everything except the nearer fields and the bit of the garden.

451

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 23/06/2025

Rain yesterday, more rain today. We need it but it's typical of a Scottish summer. Still roasting mind. Welcome to the week BlueSky.

Rain clouds over the Galloway hills. There is some blue over me but I doubt it'll last. Everything looked very green nearer the camera.

341

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 21/06/2025

Longest day today, it's all down hill from here. Predicted to be glorious but I'm glad I'm not off to London (like my son) as I hear it's mafting down there. Hope you have a great weekend BlueSky.

The sun poised above Cairnsmore lights up the Cree valley. Cirrocumulus clouds partially obscure the blue sky with distant haze. The field next door is a bit scratchy but definitely more green than yellow now.some nettles are visible tucked up against the wall in the foreground and just a touch of some purple flowers in the rockery at the bottom left.

362

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 20/06/2025

OMG it's hot. I can't see me lasting long out here in my Sun Room office, I've already got a sweat on. Happy Friday BlueSky.

Hazy blue skies above the Galloway hills. The valley is bathed in sunshine. Nice wall in the foreground with a green bush.

291

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 19/06/2025

It's by all accounts going to be a scorcher here though there might be some cloud. I'm going to try and sweat it out in my office though I may have to flee to the relative coolness of the kitchen. Hope you're having a lovely day wherever you are BlueSky.

Cirrocumulus clouds above Cairnsmore this morning. The fields are looking green and you can see my neighbors bushes and the shed.

171

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 18/06/2025

I'm going to hazard that it'll be a nice day here. Have a glorious hump day BlueSky.

I should really try and learn more words for clouds beyond puffy, however there are puffy clouds with patches of blue, hazy distant hills, a field turning rapidly now from yellow to green and various hedges in the valley.

140

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 17/06/2025

It is actually raining, not much but water is falling from the sky. Still I'm sure it'll be a nice day here, hopefully good wherever you are too BlueSky.

Rain clouds obscure Cairnsmore, no sign of the sun. The field is turning more and more green. There are some purple flowers in the garden this side of the wall.

120

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 16/06/2025

Happy Monday BlueSky, hope you all have a good week.

Sunshine on the valley this morning with some clouds in the otherwise blue sky.

382

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 13/06/2025

Happy Friday, the rain is here though it's brightening up here on the Machars now, reports from Whauphill suggest there may even be sunshine on the way. Looks like nature is healing on the field next to me. Have a good one BlueSky.

Rain and mist in the Cree Valley, there isn't much view though you can see the estuary and the lush fields of grass on the flood plane. There are clear swathes of green on the yellow field now.

240

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 12/06/2025

That's excellent James. My garden looks like no one owns it.

My rockery including grass is lowly invading the paving stones. Cairnsmore in the background, a decaying bird table features. You can see my neighbors sheds and an oil tank for their heating over the wall. There are Welsh poppies and chives and various other blue and yellow flowers.

120

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 12/06/2025

This cloud and breeze is tempering the heat thankfully otherwise I'd have to retreat to the kitchen again. Have a glorious day BlueSky.

Cloudy morning over the Cree valley. A happy cat surveys the green shoots on the yellow field near the camera, nettles show above the wall. In the distance haze partially obscures the hills.

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 11/06/2025

The RAF practices low flying exercises over Scotland in preparation for the inevitable day when we realise that the only possible way we'll see independence is to rise up against them.

A large RAF plane, Airbus A400M, flying low over the woods outside Newton Stewart today. Slightly cloudy sky, lots of trees and a bit of the yellow field visible in the photo.

241

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 11/06/2025

Feels like a hot one here. Wear sunscreen BlueSky.

Sunshine and hazy blue skies over the Cree valley this morning. The fields on the flood plane are luscious green and even the yellow field closest to the camera is showing green shoots in patches.

352

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 10/06/2025

Good morning BlueSky. Another changeable day here from the looks of it. Hope it's nice wherever you are.

Bits of blue above the Cree valley allowing morning sunshine through. Cairnsmore is visible, just. You can see the estuary and in the foreground the yellow field.

281

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 09/06/2025

Looking hazy this morning though trust me it's warm. Happy Monday BlueSky.

Haze and cloud over the Cree valley this morning. The tide is out and the estuary is mud. Yellow field is still looking very dead though there are some green shoots.

1141

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 06/06/2025

Friday comes round again, have a good one BlueSky.

Bright skies above the Cree valley, the sun lights up the green fields with dark treek covered foothills behind.

121

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 05/06/2025

It does seem like this is their preferred situation. I'm keen on plants between the stones and if I didn't have them I'd have almost no garden at all.

Chives, Welsh poppies and other plants thriving in the gaps between slabs in my back garden. To the left is an actual rockery. Behind is the wall between me and the neighbors.

010

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 05/06/2025

Good morning BlueSky, these weeks are moving too quickly.

Blue peeks out from behind white clouds to the north of me. The yellow hill hides the nearby town, green trees poke in from either side.

271

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 03/06/2025

Last year in May when the big event happened we got amazing skies, probably enhanced by the clouds.

Purple and pink colors in the sky marked with cloudy. In the foreground is a garden lit from the right by light from a window. The trees are in silhouette.

010

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 03/06/2025

Yesterday was sunshine topped with a bit of a storm through the night. Today, who knows. Hope you're having a good week out there BlueSky.

Clouds cover the sun above Cairnsmore. Tide is up now in the estuary and you can see my neighbors sheds and the fields in the valley at the bottom of the picture.

461

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 02/06/2025

A mixed day here, forecast to be none too warm and with winds it is presently warm and still. Happy Monday BlueSky, back to the grind.

Blue sky and clouds above the Galloway hills though you can't see much of the hills. A yellow field in the foreground with darker greens beyond.

141

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 01/06/2025

The weather never quite lived up to the promise. I've taken the weekend off to drink and eat cake. Trying not to think too hard about Monday. Have a good one BlueSky.

Cloudy covers Cairnsmore. The tide is out and the estuary is mainly mud. Just a hint of the yellow field, the valley is otherwise verdant.

140

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 30/05/2025

Happy Birthday to me. Good to be back, I'm going to try not to work today. Have a great Friday BlueSky.

Cloudy with patches of blue above the Cree valley. The yellow field isn't improving much, shit stains and motorsport scars give it some features. The valley beyond is green.

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 29/05/2025

Hoping my train turns up now, take me home to Scotland, you can do it!

Bolton station platform 4 Bolton station devoid of trains. Bright day with cloudy skies.

180

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 28/05/2025

Any view you get in Bolton is constrained. Pining for home already and I only got here yesterday. Happy hump day BlueSky.

Over the bin lorry and the full sized skip and before you get to the two mighty pylons on the hill there is a brief glimpse of some fields, a farm and an old hall. The sky is cloudy.

130

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 27/05/2025

Morning BlueSky, back to the grind for what remains of the week.

White clouds with patches of blue above the Cree valley. The yellow field in the foreground has a healthy layer of liquid slurry. The fields beyond are looking rich and green.

361

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 26/05/2025

A refreshing day here, perhaps we'll have more rain, we've had some blazing sun already this morning. Supposed to be on holiday but there is trouble at' mill and I'm fretting in my office.

Cloud moves eastward across the Galloway hills. Above them a big patch of blue and above that different more puffy clouds. The yellow field in the foreground shows signs of yesterday's Motorsport with a few muddy tracks. The fields in the valley are livid green. Just a hint of the drystone wall in the bottom right of the picture.

441

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 25/05/2025

Looks like we're getting some Motorsport here. Tragically I get the padlock outside the window while the action takes place over the hill. Still, all good.

Grass track "buggy" think with Marlboro branding in the yellow field, in the background is another grass track car and various support vehicles.

010

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 25/05/2025

It may be raining on the Northsiders while here safe to the south we are still in sunshine. I won't object if the rain falls here too, we need it. Bank holiday for most tomoz, except local school pupils who miss out for reasons I can't fathom. Have a good one BlueSky

Rain clouds over the distant hills while sunshine prevails closer to the camera. Yellow and green fields, blue sky above clouds.

460

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 24/05/2025

Refreshingly cool day with some rain. I'm going to try and relax for the weekend before heading back to England next week.

Cloudy day above the Cree valley, no sign of the hills or Cairnsmore. The field nearby is very yellow though I'm reliably informed it'll be fine, everything else is looking verdant.

140

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 23/05/2025

Happy Friday BlueSky. Back in my usual seat. The grass in the field next to me doesn't seem very happy compared to that down on the floodplain. I'm guessing it'll be a warm one here though it hasn't got going proper yet.

Early morning sunshine through the clouds above Cairnsmore. Some mist in the Valley you can see the estuary and green fields adjacent. Nearer the camera the grass is very yellow. There is a bit of the wall and my neighbours shed and bush.

040

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 21/05/2025

My old morning view, taken from the back step of our previous house this morning. I didn't disturb the new residents as there aren't any except some rats. It's derelict and boarded up. Happy hump day BlueSky.

A cloudy sky with just a hint of blue seen between a huge oak tree on the left and St James church on the right. An end gable of a terraced house further restricts the view and for the keen of eye some modern factory unit roofs in the gap. The church is in disrepair and has a bell tower with no bell or steeple. The Oak looks healthy though.

030

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 20/05/2025

Morning BlueSky. Looking like a nice day here, I miss my usual view though.

Trees flank a mill pond. In the distance a car park and streets of houses below a blue sky.

190

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 19/05/2025

We had some rain last night, yay. It's a bit cooler today than the last three weeks but I won't be sitting in my office to enjoy it. Off to cheery Bolton this morning. Happy Monday BlueSky.

More could than we've seen for a while over the Cree valley. Distant hills and green fields. The field closest to the camera is still yellow and sad.

151

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 18/05/2025

You know that way when you forget to share the picture 😂

My bike, chrome frame with no suspension, chubby but smooth yellow tyres, beaten up gold coloured saddle, centre pull brakes, yellow vintage toe clips, yellow bottle rack, yellow helmet. The insects lovee.

040

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 18/05/2025

I'm off to England tomorrow for the first of two visits so I'll miss the end of this incredible spell of glorious sunshine here. Enjoy your Sunday BlueSky, I'll be packing.

Cairnsmore beneath a blue sky devoid of cloud. The Cree estuary shines in the sun. The fields nearest me are yellow as the grass shrivels, in the valley nearer the river it's slightly greener. You can see the edge of my neighbours garden, they have grass, and my other neighbours sheds and tree.

161

Euan McKendrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @badhorse.com · 17/05/2025

Good morning. We got some down here in the South West too, lovely.

Aurora over Newton Stewart in South West Scotland. Purple fades through pink to some green at the bottom just on the horizon highlighting a bit of low cloud.
