If you have viewed other pictures I have taken you may have noticed that most of them were taken in Scotland, if you have not viewed my other pictures…Why not? / Anyway, a group of Scottish pictures would not be complete without the traditional Scottish Thistle.

It rains a lot in Scotland which helps to make it so very green. This image of a Harebell was taken just after a burst of rain. I like this image as it almost looks as if the flower has had the creases ironed into it.

Various coloured Primulas in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland. Primula is a genus of 400–500 species of low-growing herbs in the family Primulaceae. They include primrose, auricula, cowslip and oxlip. Many species are grown for their ornamental flowers. They are native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere, south into tropical mountains in Ethiopia, Indonesia and New Guinea, and in temperate southern South America. Perennial primulas bloom mostly during the spring; their flowers can be purple, yellow, red, pink, or white. Generally, they prefer filtered sunlight. Many species are adapted to alpine climates. The word primula is the Latin feminine diminutive of primus, meaning first (prime), applied to flowers that are among the first to open in spring. Primroses are used as food plants by the larvae (caterpillars) of some Lepidoptera species, including Duke of Burgundy butterfly, Large Yellow Underwing, Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, Setaceous Hebrew Character and Silver-ground Carpet. Some species of Primula are commonly known as polyanthus. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at Flowers Sold a card on 28th Oct 08

It was my intention with this image to bring out the vibrancy of the red in these Californian poppies, and so some petals are in their original color with the background in mono. The glow of the red can be seen in the emerging bud. The red poppy is delicate and fragile and has a short life in bloom. Each November in the UK it can be seen everywhere on people’s lapels when it comes into its own as the symbol of remembrance of the war dead. With so many current wars, it is particularly poignant. The black and white backgrounds adds a sombreness to echo this, but the vibrant red still engenders hopefulness and life. The poppies are photographed in my garden in Glasgow, Scotland, UK.

Every now and again I like to upload a picture or two with a bit of a twist. This one is a photograph of sea mayweed on a beach on the west coast of Arran but, as is often the way with photography, the photograph doesn’t have the impact of the original as the eye can work wonders with 3D that it can’t in only 2 dimensions. / So here, I have used a combination of distortions to arrange the image as a whole to take on the shape of a flower and highlight the central region. / I doubt it will win any competitions but, as ever, as long as I am happy with the result, that is all that really matters! Thanks for looking, / Richard

The small Highland Perthshire towns of Dunkeld and Birnam on either side of the River Tay are linked by the solid seven arched bridge which is said to be Thomas Telford’s Finest Highland Bridge. The 4th Duke of Atholl commissioned Thomas Telford the great Scottish engineer to build the toll bridge in 1809. Telford did much to open the Highlands with canals, roads and bridges, many still in use today. In 1879 the locals successfully rioted against the continual toll charges, as the cost of the bridge must have been repaid by then. The large white toll gate was removed for the last time, in the middle if the night, to prevent a public demonstration. Dunkeld Bridge is an Historic Scotland Category A Listed Building (HB Number 5620). Camera: Canon EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi in the USA) Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

Edinburgh’s floral clock can be found in the NE corner of West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland, beside the steps leading into the gardens from the foot of the Mound, and beneath the statue of Allan Ramsay. Commissioned on the 10th June, 1903, this is the oldest floral clock in the world. It is seasonally replanted in a topical design with around 35,000 colourful plants. The clock is 3.5m (12 feet) in diameter and the hands, which are driven by an electric motor, weigh more than 60kg (130 lbs). The electrically-driven mechanism replaced a clock-work motor in 1973, which had required to be wound daily. From 1905 onwards, a mechanism was added to reproduce the sound of a cuckoo, every fifteen minutes. The sound was produced by two organ bellows and organ pipes, but there was no model cuckoo to be seen. By 1950, the sound of the cuckoo had become almost drowned by the noise of nearby traffic, so a new cuckoo sound system, including loudspeaker, was installed. A model cuckoo was also added, appearing out of its housing every fifteen minutes. Previously on show only between June and October, from 2003 a planting of frost-resistant plants takes it through the winter season. Each Spring, the clock is replanted to a different design. Since 1946, the floral clock has celebrated a different event or anniversary each year. For 2009, the design celebrates the bicentenary of the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society.

Final Score Scotland 9 Australia 8. Ahhh well I might as well admit it. It was 9 – 8 really:-) But it should have been 9 – 3. LOL. What a fantastic game of Rugby. Scotland played the best defensive game I’ve ever seen. Australia had more posession, were in Scotland’s half for most of the game, but Scotland’s strong defence won the day. Australia almost stole the match in the last few seconds by scoring a well deserved try, but failed to convert. If they had Scotland would have been defeated. But praise the Lord, Australia missed and now Scotland have won for the first time in over 20 years against Australia at Murryfield Edinburgh Scotland. P.S. I watched the match on TV and almost cried when Australia scored that final try. Ahhhhhh. What a great game though. SALE Sold a Mat Print. Thanks very much to the anonymous buyer. / O flower of Scotland, / When will we see, your like again, / That fought and died for, / Your wee bit hill, and glen, / And stood against them, / Proud Edward’s army, / And sent him homeward, Tae think again.
