Canvas

What about one of these as a canvas filler?

These are just mock ups I did in photoshop for ideas. Got inspiration from a painter called Pam Carter.

Linn Park

Took a walk to Linn Park today. This is the second largest park in Glasgow, full of history and wildlife. It is the location of Cathcart Castle and the viewpoint where Mary Queen of Scots watched the battle of Langside before fleeing to England. It was a soft day and the 1.5 mile walk is one I should have made sooner. The park is huge with the river Cart flowing through. Birds include the usual mallard, wren, tits, robin, sparrowhawk even a dipper was spotted. Light was at a minimum so didn't get many shots. However on the walk home along the river a kingfisher was glimpsed in the dusk, the second time I've seen one on the river!

The Freeze Sets In

Things are cooling down nicely. Hope we're getting enough white stuff on the hills. Been snowfall in Glasgow and this morning risked life and limb going to work on the frozen canals that were Glasgow's pitiful cycle paths.

White Cart Way

From Ruanaich.com

A beautiful sunny Autumn day. A stroll along the river in front of my flat. Leaves in bright colours and lots of life on the river. Was lucky enough also to see the bright blue buzz of a kingfisher after a passer by mentioned its presence. After 2 years its nice to know there's such life in Glasgow.

Early Snow

Cold temperatures and some early flurries are helping prepare Glencoe for a good season. Keep everything crossed for a continuation of these conditions and another corking snowboard season.

Lots of pain and no glory

Glasgow leg of the British Snow tour. I decided to enter this indoor event with nerves that go with any comp. After about 5 practice runs on the tight course I almost had it. 6th run and I went heelside off the first double woops then dropped 3-4 foot onto my lower back. The next day i'm still sore.
