The Butterfly House in Williamson Park. I like the mosaic.

Of course, it rained.

Of course, I didn't have a jacket!

When my happy equilibrium has been disturbed I find great solace in flowers.

Raging bits of air and light

Reveal true beauty

Across the city revellers celebrated the arrival of the new year. I went to bed early. The fireworks got going at 2am. I thought that was as appropriate as 'new year' itself - an almost random choice. Like this egg.

Perihelion (when Earth is closest to the Sun) occurs 3rd January - for me, that's the new year.

Nevertheless, I hope everyone has a happy new year, wars stop, and the folly of greed ends. I don't bet on it but I live in hope.

One of the bits of town that's due to be developed. By whom and for what purpose is moot.

Walking to today's gig in the morning sunshine. Sometimes called the bellflower: I'm not certain which particular kind this is.

This great photorealistic mural from graffiti artist Sam Bates (aka Smug) popped up in Glasgow. The piece is just one of several wildlife-themed contributions by the artist over the last year as part of the Glasgow City Centre Mural Trail that began in 2008 to help rejuvenate the downtown area.

Toiling up the hill I look out to see this evening's light show.

Even in the rain this rose remained steadfastly beautiful.
