Looking South from my 55 Degrees North Latitude, into the Corona at the height of last nights solar storm. I’ve seen a few amazing shows from this part of Scotland, last nights was the best!

Growing up this was home, and living literally a stone’s throw from the water was heaven. I’ve been back a fair bit over the last while, and after an absence of nearly 35 years the town has wrapped me up in kindness. It feels good to belong, where your family are known.<br/> <img src="https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/113/216/221/354/349/404/original/8157dd0de2f9d2c3.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-28T17:04:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsymqslhz22yguy27xekkkjz0c3lc0flpjtf5p9x0nrhdnkmx5metgzypz3q46qswe9maz60gzs88eruve7kcf0l8jw2pc6hrf97wp8szjpu0kuvmd Last light above Corehead in the Moffat Hills, Southern Scotland, on the road Peebles, and home.<br/> <img src="https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/113/211/832/066/012/386/original/bbe0c573aaeba23d.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-27T22:21:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvpn358pypm2muf9rjx4yagmncy0rf3zeuznl5r480zwcuvsrmaqszypz3q46qswe9maz60gzs88eruve7kcf0l8jw2pc6hrf97wp8szjpu6uq8gz Autumn on the River Earn 1997. My dad casting towards a Salmon that had shown a couple of times at the head of the pool. One of those magical moments I’ve treasured for years, beautiful light and that strong feeling that can come just before you get a pull… it was my turn on this particular morning though, I hooked and landed a good sized, fresh run fish. <br/>Dad passed away suddenly just a few days ago, and I’ve had this picture in my head of one our our many fishy adventures together.<br/> <img src="https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/113/180/565/364/140/464/original/fdd75d19c9d21e10.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-22T10:00:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2g6etxyhre35szx2f5duexhlwef7r9d36menmjd7vjf05gm0j5cszypz3q46qswe9maz60gzs88eruve7kcf0l8jw2pc6hrf97wp8szjpuztfet7 Lucilia ceasar, a close relative of the blue arsed fly we hear so much about… the flowering plants in the garden are covered in pollinators today, and they are busy!<br/> <img src="https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/112/960/471/489/804/730/original/d0b80fd4a5339ca4.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-14T13:00:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxc4hxes4y978lhg56nead9jms8tamjsgehw56ksd4pfuvv8ztacczypz3q46qswe9maz60gzs88eruve7kcf0l8jw2pc6hrf97wp8szjpu9j9708 August at Scotland most Southerly point, The Mull of Galloway.
