Great photos. I am waiting to see some storms. Believe you had a trickle coming your way yesterday. 1.1 mm here. where is everybody in from the Northern hemisphere?
What sort of tree Andy. Must be a willow! Ours died in drought. Willows now found to choke rivers and spoil platypus habitats so no longer celebrated, but of course Ok not in rives except for seeding. Clearing rivers is big job for unemployed etc. Here we always know when spring is coming with a gentle green haze around willows, since indigenous trees are not leaf droppers. jane
The tree is a Willow and it is right opposite my house. There is another smaller one not in view. There used to be another big one to the right of the one in the photograph. That was unfotrunately cut down a few years ago.
I live in an area where house owners have to be 55 years plus. It is named Willow Ranch.
As the front of my house faces West there is often opportunities to get this type of shot.
The picture of the Forth Railway Bridge I found on a website some time ago. I am hoping to take a train ride accross the bridge in a few weeks time. It is many years since I have done so. My wife Linda has never crossed this bridge.
The South side of the Bridge is located at South Queensferry and there is a very good and old pub there. It is called the Hawes Inn, located almost underneath the approaches to bridge. Robert Louis Stevenson stayed there at some time.
I noted that Clyde had dined there on one of his visits to Scotland
