Papa got some new glass

It was Fathers’ day this Sunday, and I did very well this year. No jokey socks or cartoon tie for me, oh no.

With Deird’s help, Poppy & Joe got me a new shiney lens for my camera. It’s a super-zoom, so 18mm to 200mm (about 11x).  I tried a few demo shots below. Also the photos from Blair Drummond, yesterday,  are using the new lens

Could this be the hottest day of the summer?

Today, in Edinburgh, the weather was fantastic. I’ve been in shorts all day, and coated in factor 30 sun cream. Poppy was out early with Deird, painting in the garden. After a morning of swimming, the afternoon was spent in the garden, helping with the gardening. It was almost too hot to sit in the sun. Am I still in Scotland?
