I am just an enthusiastic photographer living in the beautiful Scottish Borders, where I simply enjoy my hobby photographing the countryside.Most of my images are taken in and around the Tweed Valley, sometimes venturing out to explore other beautiful parts of Scotland and over the Border south on rare occasions

A Spell By the Solway Coast

 

A chance to get away for a while

IMG_1365

Loaded up the old caravan and being a bit of a “Caution” I had prebooked the site and can recommend it to anyone who likes to get away from things, it’s a working Livery Stables and if its a bit wet, wellies or a good pair of walking boots are the order of the day

A Dogs Paradise

Just be mindful of creatures long dead that doggies love to roll in

Ugggggggggggh!!!


As is our luck the weather was not as kind as it could be, it does get a bit windy so close to the coast, but the rain put the mockers on getting out with my camera

Annan was close by and we ventured down to the harbour, such a shame more isn’t made of this place, although a start seems to have been made on rejuvenation the harbour is still badly silted up

Some one has made an effort to cheer things up a little

Caerlaverock  Castle

Just about 10 miles from Annan, I paid two visits the first ,heavy rain meant I left the camera in the car, I was disappointed until I remembered my much under used phone
