This is the last of a series I started a couple of weeks ago. The two first photos of this series have a minimal edition, basically I cropped them to the square format. The remaining ten have been subject to further editing, normally with a repetition of the originally photographed patterns. This last one is dedicated to my friends of the Quadratum group, as I haven't been as much around as I wanted over recent months.
The stripes, the colour, it has a real look of Tartan - the single tree gives us something to like in the top half of the image
I recently realized that I had 3 similar piece of tartan-style apparel -- cap, mask and shirt. I had Sue take the phone photo that you see in the Comment section.
When Danica dropped by for Mother's Day, I saw that she was wearing a similar shirt, so I gave her my caop for a quick photo.

Tartan Back is an old Scottish folk name for Brambling and I thought that this view, in this plumage is probably the most tartan-like. Brambling seems like an odd name as it is not associated with brambles. The name has been around for more than 500 years and is almost certainly a corruption of Brandling, meaning brindled, which is a better description of the bird's plumage during winter than tartan. It's scientific name Fringilla montifringilla translates as Finch/Mountain Finch, which again is not especially apt as I have seen them breeding abundantly on the lowland forested bogs of Finland. We don't really know how many Bramblings overwinter in Britain but we do know that numbers fluctuate widely from year to year depending on breeding success. When they arrive in Britain they rapidly move to Beechwoods as they are highly dependent on beech mast. In good Brambling years huge flocks can build up where there are lots of beech masts, but ringing has shown there is little site faithfulness between years. Which explains why some years I see lots of Bramblings locally, but other winters (like this one) I see very few. This is a male, by the way, identified by his black head, face and back. After their autumn moult the black feathers have pale tips but these usually wear off by spring leaving them looking dapper and black.
I've had a few shots from these fields, when I drove by the other day, they were being ploughed. Farmers have no consideration !
The tartan is a common small mediterranean type of vessel, used for anything from trading to privateering. Here adapted for BoBS as a paniote vessel.
