37-365v5 – A Misty Morning Walk

Something I’ve never had a lot of success with before – Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) from the early morning Jess walk. It was a cold and foggy morning and there was some lovely light around which I photographed but, unusually, it was this ICM shot that I really liked. This

36/365v5 – Waterfalls

Our new house has a burn (Scottish for stream) running through it and we own the part of it that flows through our garden. Tracing the burn on our Ordinance Survey (OS) map I could see that there was a waterfall marked further upstream so I had an explore with

32-365v5 An Abstract Landscape

This is a fairly abstract shot of the distant hills with the sky above, it was a lovely morning for a walk if a little chilly Despite being in and amongst a lot of commercial forestry there are still areas that are basically either grassland or scrubland, it’s hard to

The Sheep Field

31-365v5 – The Sheep Field

To the side of our house is this sheep field which is currently unoccupied. This is a good thing as when it is occupied the escape squad unit of the sheep prison detail are exceptionally good at escaping from the field and visiting our garden. In some ways this is

28-365v5 – A Common View, For Me

I’ve taken this shot a few times and was convinced I’d already used it earlier this month, but on checking I see I haven’t used this yet, so here we go. I like using the 2 pines to frame the view beyond. There was just the start of a rainbow

Snow Capped Hills

26-365 v5 – Snow Caps

We had a light sprinkling of snow overnight and the hills are always so pretty when capped with snow, so here’s todays panorama taken from a similar position as our shot on the 9th January.  It’s just as well I took that shot as the heavens opened later on and

25-365 v5 – The Morning After The Night Before

We were able to take our morning walk again today after yesterday’s storm left us housebound for the day. Jess was delighted to be back out and about but rather surprised and puzzled by the 4 new large obstacles that were now in her way as she walked up the

20-365v5 – A Wild Adventure

Jess and I had a little adventure this morning when we decided to follow the course of the Harden Burn which flows through the bottom of our garden. The terrain was pretty rough, especially for Jess whose shorter legs meant she had to bound over the bracken rather than walk.

Leading Lines in the Forest
2025 - 365 Project

15-365v5 – A Leading Line

So, this could be my 52Project shot for this week. The subject is Leading Lines, I do believe this is quite a good example of leading lines, but I think I can do better. This was shot in low light on my mobile so the quality really isn’t as good

A Sheep Fold
2025 - 365 Project

11-365 v5 – Stone Sheep Fold

It’s always nice to learn something new. On today’s walk with Jess I scrambled down to photograph this structure. We knew that this was for sheep but had no idea it was called a sheep fold. A sheep fold, also known as a sheep pen or pound, is a simple
