The view from the back of Canongate Kirk, which lies towards the bottom of the Royal Mile. Overlooking the graveyard the view stretches up to Calton Hill.

I had a trip to the botanics today with Joanne. Met a friendly robin, and drew these pretty blue flowers.

I think to the botanics for todays sketch.

Here is a wee shop half way up the royal mile in Edinburgh. The blue paintwork makes the shop stand out so I wanted to show that in my final sketch.

Houston House, just outside Broxburn. A lovely venue for a wedding, on this day a little cloudy though. The white walls fading into the sky behind.

My bike, which transports me round the city. Well that and my legs of course.

Another angle but a similar sketch.

Just a short walk from work lies the Scottish Parliament building, here seen from one of the many pathways leading to Arthur’s seat.

On Holy Island, off the east coast of Arran. We were here for a very relaxing afternoon. The ponies were so wild and free.
