Whatever The Weather

So the forecast is poor, but what the hell. We're going to head north for a few days. I plan to take the Ebony and the Nikon 35mm, the D200 and the F3. It will be good to get some fresh views. I might even see the sea.

Yesterday I went to a Scottish Downhill Mountain Bike event. Got some good shots on the D200. Very hard to catch the sense of energy and motion. I prefer the "blurred" shots.

Last night we heard a bird scratching and fluttering against the window. It was a newly fledged wren from our nest. A saw two of them and mum was chirping excitedly from the undergrowth. I also discovered that a blackbird has decided to set up home in the scented rose bush by the front door. Not the most convenient spot. At least she'll have some peace for a couple of days while we are away.
