Local legend suggests that this bridge was started by Bishop Henry Cheyne in the late 13th or early 14th century and completed by Robert the Bruce. Whilst this may or may not be true, historical documents show that the bridge we see today was the result of rebuilding work in three phases in the early 17th century.
This was the main crossing on the Don leading to the north from Aberdeen and vice versa prior to the construction of the adjacent Bridge of Don in 1831. Today the Brig o’ Balgownie is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

This is a Townsend's solitaire. It was seen on Sunday at Koll Center wetlands, and soon had attracted bird watchers and photographers to try to catch a view of it. I wasn't fortunate enough on Sunday, but did get to see it today - a lifer for me! Thanks to Keith Todd for calling my attention to the location!

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, at 8000 ft., provides one with an expansive view of the canyon, sky and the weather that passes through. Watching these storms was musical. As they say, "all politics is local", so too with rain!
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
These guys were busy mowing and again I noticed despite the noise this attracted several birds a kestrel a buzzard and a black-backed gull all seemed to be taking easy pickings from the ground, as always my shots of the birds were not worthy of posting but I still enjoyed watching.
in our local BIG park. We were expecting heavy grey skies this year, but we were blessed with this wonderful light ! I have still to cook our Christmas meal - so I'm rushing to get this on before starting the real cooking !
Hope you've had a lovely Christmas Day so far (it's not over yet) - a lovely time whatever you are celebrating, and that you are suffused with good feelings.
My heart goes out to those who find Christmas and the New Year a lonely and difficult time. We are so lucky to be visiting family tomorrow - I am a lucky woman!
Thanks so much for all your support, as always... you know how I value each and every one of you. I am sorry if I can't always keep up with you !

Friday's R-MRL841 tends to return east with a healthy cut of power, as they often bring back the Logan local power for relay to Livingston or points east. This week's train was no exception, and with an extra GP9 in the mix, they ended up having five engines. After building their train at Logan, they wasted no time heading east - we beat them from the west end of Manhattan siding here to the west end of Bozeman siding with seconds to spare.

While not surprised, I was saddened last week when it was announced that the BNSF would acquire the Montana Rail Link (MRL). I made a few trips to visit the railroad, usually with Mike Danneman, and quickly became a fan. The big attractions were vintage locomotives, friendly employees and superb scenery.
