Another Gallimaufry from around Newton Stewart February 2015

A few pictures from around Newton Stewart over the last ten days.

A head cold and a sore knee limited my activities over the last fortnight but I took pictures.

I'm now back to normal (well as normal as I can be)

The swans are back on Blairmount Pond.

The ducks are getting fat.

Cats are prowling.

Geese are flapping.

Crocuses are budding.

Snowdrops have ripened fully.

Frogs and toads are spawning.

It's rained, snowed, sleeted and hailstones have fallen.

The moon shines, leaves are budding.

An old milk bottle surfaces and old buildings are crumbling.

That's yer lot in the description department, I hope there's a picture for you to enjoy.

Cheerio the noo.

Out and About Again

A few short walks and outings over recent weeks have collectively accumulated enough photographs for this blog.

I'll indicate the view underneath each picture.
