Laid back
This poppy seemed to be lying back to enjoy the sun.
Why not?
P102-7061 Taken at: Branklyn Garden, Perth, Scotland
Nur für einen kurzen Moment wurde die ländliche Idylle im uckermärkischen Kleinod Falkenwalde unterbrochen, dessen Haltepunkt an der ehemaligen Kreisbahn Schönermark-Damme auf den Namen Kleinow hört. Seit 30 Jahren scheint die Zeit hier stehengeblieben zu sein. Immerhin zwang ein Fahrgast V22-01 des Brandenburgischen Museums für Klein- und Privatbahnen mit ihrem mustergültig restaurierten Bag zum außerplanmäßigem Halt. Diese bemerkenswerte Fuhre, welche zu D(D)R-Zeiten glatt als "Ferkeltaxen-Ersatzgarnitur" hätte durchgehen können, verkehrte am 30.04.2023 als P102 von Damme nach Gramzow.
LOGWI 260 106 und CLB 323 699 mit dem P102 von Obing nach Bad Endorf am 30.7.23 bei Eberloh (Nahe Halfing).
Spectacular
The innards of pulsatilla are fascinating – especially on a sunny day when they are wide open and reveal their intricate glory.

This year’s model #2
These flowers are a mistake. We bought some Florence fennel plants (for their edible bulbs). But, due to a lack of watering (I think) they bolted early.
On the plus side, I really like the flowers that they’ve produced. So, not a total failure.

Sign of the times… or not
Our “February Gold” doesn’t flower until March!
“St. Patrick’s Day” usually arrives 2 weeks late for the party!
I think these varieties must have been bred in warmer climes. However, they’re still welcome when they finally appear.

In profile
A slightly different angle for this poppy.

Rügensche Bäderbahn 2-10-2 tank 99 1781-6 preparing to depart from Göhren on diagram P102, the 09:53 to Putbus, on Friday 5th October 2018. The 'Neubaulok', built by LKM Babelsberg, entered DR service in 1953 at Thum depot for work on the now closed network of lines in that region of Saxony. It later spent time on other 750mmm gauge lines in Saxony, including at Oberwiesenthal, Radebeul and Freital-Hainsberg. It was withdrawn from service in 1992 and joined the collection of locomotives at the Nuremberg Railway Museum (as 099 745-2), but subsequently deteriorated during its period of open-air static display. The owner of the Rügensche Bäderbahn, IG Preßnitztalbahn e.V, acquired it in 2006 and restored to full working order at the Jöhstadt workshop. It was put to work on the company's line in Rügen in November 2011. It has a number of detail differences to its sister locomotive 99 1784-0 which also works on the Rügenschen Bäderbahn.

Back to Branklyn
Well… back to the photos that I took at Branklyn Gardens. (I’ve finally edited and processed them.)
I love these martagon lilies – they are very photogenic.

Opening
Furry pulsatilla buds, opening as the days warm up. Slightly weird, totally wonderful.

From red to blue
Another poppy – this one’s Himalayan.
The next entries will feature shots from a Coffee and Cameras outing to Branklyn Garden in Perth. We managed to catch the tailend of this year’s Himalayan poppies. (Note to self – plan a visit for early June next year.)

Opened
27 hours after yesterday’s image was taken, all of the pulsatilla buds had opened. They were enjoying a bright, sunny spring day… don’t we all?

Evening light
Spotted on an evening stroll in the neighbourhood park.

More macro
Echinops ritro with raindrops.
This shot draws me in to the centre… somehow.

From the West End
No – not a show in London; a view in the East Neuk!
When I’m in St Monans, I often head towards the East Pier. But, on this visit (with a different approach route), I decided to head west. There isn’t a lot of distance between the East and West piers, but you do get a different perspective on the harbour front.

Swathes of blue
This is centaurea montana… or perennial cornflower… or knapweed. Take your pick.
At the moment it is dominating our side garden. This is a result of not deadheading last year. So, seed was set and spread and we have dozens of plants popping up in our garden.
And I love it! (Although I will be rigorous about deadheading this year!)

Move closer
Same crocuses as yesterday, same day, same lens (25mm), but much closer. Using my feet as the zoom function.

Not red
The final image from our visit to Branklyn Garden is most definitely not red!
It’s pale and delicate and gorgeous. This beauty is a Japanese anemone.

More pink
The colour starts to shine through as the petals open.

Practically perfect
… just like Mary Poppins.
These wild primroses are stunning. They have longer stems than the domesticated ones in our garden. This makes the flowers stand out – and they don’t get splashed by the soil when it rains.

This year’s model #3
This is the bluest blue in our garden. (It’s Gentian sino-ornata.)
Technically, it’s not a new plant… but it is in a new location. It wasn’t enjoying the location that we chose for it last year. In fact, it was looking a ‘bit dead’.
So we gambled on relocating it, and to our delight it has produced a few flowers. Hopefully there will be more next year.

This year’s model #1
The next three entries will feature plants that are new to us this year (kind of!).
This one is a delightful coreopsis. It also provides an ideal landing pad for the beasties.

First sunflower
Another macro shot – this one’s the first sunflower to open up in our garden this year. In fact, it’s the first to open up for a few years (we haven’t had a lot of success with them!)
But, this one makes all of the failed attempts worthwhile.

There’s a fly on my cow parsley!
To be honest, I didn’t notice the fly until I got home. Maybe I should pay more attention.

Snow-shine
Sunshine, blue skies and crisp snow to walk in. Wonderful!

Up close
Leopard’s Bane – intricate and delight-filled.

Same plant, same light
Different perspective.
Sometimes – usually – it pays to walk around a bit, looking for different opportunities.

More evening light
… this time in our garden (shot after a walk in the park).
This is Hydrangea paniculata “Unique”.

Back in black
It was starting to rain as I was taking this photo – you can see a few raindrops on the catkins. I think they add something to the image.
But, for me, it’s the almost black background that makes it work.

Roped in
A visit to St Monans… and my customary walk around the harbour.
I chose to focus on this rope (pattern), with the traditional pantile view deliberately blurry in the background.

The road to abstraction
The closer I get, the more abstract these photos seem. This is a strange view of mountain lettuce.
P102-7817 Taken near: Craigie Hill Golf Course, Perth, Scotland.
Magical moss
A few weeks ago I wandered into the garden with my camera… and no clear intention. I was drawn to the moss that is growing on our perimeter wall.
Passers-by are unlikely to notice it, but I think it’s magical. Especially when using my macro lens to get close-up.

Purple haze
Time for some crocuses (or should that be crocii?)
P102-1164 Taken at: South Inch, Perth, Scotland.
Snow fun
This is another example of: “I’m glad I carried my camera”.
I had a suspicion that we might find this scene at our local park. But, you never know.
P102-0132 Taken at: Viewlands Park, Perth, Scotland.
Still
This is similar to yesterday’s entry – but by changing the angle and converting it to black and white, I’ve managed to get a wee bit of interest in the sky.

The hunter
I’d rather not know what this hungry heron was stalking.
