Water, Water Everywhere….The Thames

In London you can’t help but see the Thames if you travel south to the downtown area and if you’re crossing a bridge it is more than likely across the Thames.

After our trip to the UK I’ve decided that I love Scotland and can’t wait to go back. Here are a few of my favourite images from our six days in Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth.

The River Tay in Perth, Scotland.

The Tay is the longest river in Scotland and the sixth longest in the United Kingdom. It starts in the Scottish Highlands, and moves east until it goes through Perth. Its mouth is wide, and is called the Firth of Tay on the east coast. Dundee is on the north bank of the Firth. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Tay

I’m a Fan of….Swans

thank to Jez for hosting I’m a fan of….https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/04/08/lensball-shots-re-imagined-as-ai-artwork-in-my-fan-of-series-4/

On a recent walk I came a cross a beautiful pair of swans. I only noticed one for the longest time until someone told me that there was a coyote eyeing the swan that was sitting on a nest just over to my left. I never did see the coyote, even though I did venture closer to the nest. It was only because the red ants were starting to bite my ankles that I decided to move to drier ground.

Water, Water Everywhere….February 27, 2024

thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere…https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/02/26/straiton-pond-2-for-water-water-everywhere-210/

I never get tired of the waterfront that I live close to (literally 100m from my house). It changes with the season, the wind, time of day and the weather. Earlier this week the water was dead calm. Very unusual for this time of year but the entire winter this year has been unusual. Little to no snow, mild temperatures, rain and then sudden drops in temperature that last for one to three days.

Back in January I helped curate and hang the Black and White Show at WAAC. It has quickly become on of my favourite exhibitions at Women’s Art in Toronto. I’m already looking forward to next year’s show.
