Today 2018:
The final touches are made to the 'beautification' of Ross Fountain in the Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh.
After many months of rebuild and restoration they decide to lynch the centre piece to get him into position atop of the fountain 
- not the most dignified stage entrance I've ever seen.

Pushing the phone cam's zoom to it's limit to catch the cute sight of the baby swan popping up to greet the world.
It's been years since we had cygnets so close to home.

Spring is finally showing in the garden, the contrast of light and shadow helps highlight the magic of the season

Last night's flock of badgers 
Amazing to see an entire herd like this, seen the kids before (2 of them) and the kids with mum but suddenly they've found a third or is it 4 young ones

Don't you just love Victorian taxidermy
Such realism is hard to replicate, clearly these guys knew their stuff
(Pun intended 
)

Stupid cat saw a butterfly on a flower and was then fascinated by that flower, wondering why it didn't fly away like the other one did...

The ram’s horn squid (Spirula spirula) apparently one of the most elusive cephalopods. This tiny squid is only three inches long, lives in deep regions of the ocean, but occasionally the tiny delicate shells wash up.

Final shot of my pet leaf, they are great fun for arty shots if you can find one
I've been using smoothed out or scrunched up easter egg wrapping foil for the backgrounds

I love finding a skeleton leaf to play with. So photogenic that I could spend hours taking variations on a theme.
