A picture of pale honey colour floorboards and on top sits a blue dustpan (full) and brush, a red and grey screwdriver and pliers with bright orange handles. I’d just finished pulling out floor staples from 4 rooms. After this, the meal was bloody excellent.

Loved seeing the new moon above James Craig's 1776 Observatory House with a rabble of Reds watching the parade of the May Queen at last night's Beltane Fire Festival on Calton Hill.

A swimmer leaving the sea, it’s a mostly differing shades of blue shot, made up of sea and sky. As she strides out, the sun has hit her strong pink swim hat and gloves which makes them and her body pop out of the shot in brightness.

A beautifully coloured starling standing on a wall. The orange bricks behind him contrast with his blue and green feathers with white speckles. There is a painted strip of orange, white and blue paint beneath where he is standing which ties in all the same colours. He is very good looking and seemed to be posing for me.
