Beautiful morning on the west coast of Scotland.

Pretty
Calm sea under clear blue sky with islands along the horizon Rear of a ferry with waves rippling out from behind the boat. The sun reflecting off the water and the sun low in the sky. Sunset with rays reflecting over clear, calm water beneath a clear blue sky.

Isle of Bute today!
A sandy beach looking out at the horizon under a partly cloudy but mostly sunny blue sky. There are a few people on the beach. A tree under blue sky with red berry-like fruit A twisty beech tree along a walking path with other trees and shrubs around it. A wheat field with some patches of green fields in the distance under a mostly clear blue sky.

Recorded a demo of my first song since March 2024, “Sparrow” and it’s available on my Sweetgum Bandcamp page. It’s about the usual: grief, love, and loss.

Full version is here: sweetgumstl.bandcamp.com/track/sparro...

“Sparrow” is the first song I’ve written since March 2024. An imperfect performance, but not bad all things considering.

Okay top 10 in my age group ain’t half bad! Pretty happy with that.
Results from Edinburgh 5k including time (22:43), distance, position overall (60/1363) and for age group (8/71).

Edinburgh 5k in the books! 22:43 finish, so not the PB I was hoping for, but that first hill around Arthur’s Seat is brutal (plus a headwind). Rumour has it there’s a half marathon penciled in for next year… #Edinburgh5k #5k #running #HolyroodPark

Little bit of noodling. Turns out I can still play, albeit imperfectly, after letting my guitar sit since February. Of 2024. Also maybe need a haircut. #fingerpicking #folk #guitar

By and large my art skews abstract, kinda formless. Tried a little something different tonight. I’m not completely happy with it; I’ve got a lot to learn re: oil pastels.

But I do enjoy the warm colours.

Watercolour abstract painting. Faint yellow orange background with two orbs, one red-brown top left, the other yellow-grey bottom right. There’s a brown craggy mass on the left side, a grey-blue craggy mass on the top right corner. In the middle is a small rectangle filled with samples of all the colours of the painting.

Put these (and another below) on some postcards so now I get to send my art to pals all over.

That makes me happy.
Oil pastel painting with dark blue water, blue-black horizon line, and burnt orange skyline. Watercolour painting with a blue-yellow-purple-brown planetary orb in the middle above a dark horizon line with abstract brown-green buildings. A rectangle with different colours dripping down it in the top left corner. Initials IRM in the bottom right corner. Watercolour painting with skylines on top and bottom. The bottom a teal-blue with abstract buildings of various greens and yellows. Birds fly between both skylines. There’s also a yellow-orange-green sun-like orb top-right below the top skyline. The top skyline has few abstract buildings, these in purple and yellow-orange. Oil pastel painting with a coastline coming in from the left side. A small building like a lighthouse juts out from the coastline. The sea is blue and grey with a grey-white sky.

Walking to work this morning. The short Scottish winter days can be pretty oppressive, but a nice sunrise walk does a lot of good.
Photo of a big church in silhouette on the corner of a street with dawn breaking in the background. Photo overlooking a river reflecting a partly cloudy yellow-orange-pink sunrise. Buildings and trees line the banks of the river.
