And more bluebells, the woods are full of them #photography #mastoart

I went for a long walk today, from the train station of Arrochar & Tarbet. Objective 1: Bluebells!

Usually the sakura get all the wows, but look at these gorgeous apple blossoms!

A closer but even hazier view of Schiehallion, taken from Ben Vrackie. Note the snow, it's only May after all ... #scotland #photography

From Friday's hillwalk, on Ben Vrackie near Pitlochry. It's not a great picture, and in portrait, but if you bother to click you'll see Schiehallion, the fairy hill of the Caledonians, in the distance. #photography

This green blossom is less obvious than most other flowers but I think it is very beautiful. #photography #mastoart

I really like this little snippet from Murakami's 1Q84:

昼過ぎに激しい夕立ちがあった。空が真っ暗になり、小石くらいの大きさの雨粒が音を立てて路面を
叩き、雷がひとしきり鳴った。夕立ちが過ぎ去ると、あとには水浸しになった道路が残った。太陽が戻ってきて、その水を全力で蒸発させ、都市はかげろうのような蒸気に覆われた。夕方から再び雲が出て、厚いヴェールで空を覆った。月の姿は見えない。

I've put the translation in the image description, apart from the final sentence:
"The moons were invisible."

Some pictures from yesterday along the Clyde. #photography

On 27 April most of the cherry trees in #Glasgow went in full bloom. Pity I only had my mobile. Since then, mostly cold, grey skies and rain; but today is as blue as on the picture. #photography #mastoart

More blossoms, a bit hazy because the autofocus latched on the greenery in front. I like the result. #photography #mastoart

Cherry blossoms and magnolia. #photography #mastoart

On a rare fine morning last week, I took my camera on my walk to work, on the off-chance. Some nice blossoms. #photography #mastoart

The have mostly faded now, but one thing I love is the sheer amount of daffodils that bloom in Scotland in the springtime. #mastoart

Forget-me-nots, one of the few plants where I prefer the name in my native tongue, "Vergeet-mij-nietjes"-- even though the meaning is just the same. #photography #mastoart

It's really spring in Scotland when the gorse blooms. #photography #mastoart
