Would love to say this is how I'm spending the afternoon, but in reality I managed maybe 20 minutes before the fear of wasps had me scurrying back indoors.

Still, it does the pasty white legs good to get outside, now and again!

Bit of fun for Friday afternoon.

Lens: Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 XF Wide Angle on the Fuji X-T30

Let's make this Friday a fun day. Forget about all crap that's happening for just one day.

I'm off to take some photographs of Pubs and then encourage people to visit one... or two!

On days like these, what's not to like? Not a cloud in the sky and feeling warm to boot. Watching the world go by along the promenade at Roker's Cat & Dog Steps, Sunderland in North East England.

The red sandstone tenements lining Dumbarton Road in Partick, Glasgow, in the late eventing sun.

What with the weather being so beautiful in Scotland at the moment we are legally & morally obliged to post

It was a day peculiar to this piece of the planet,
when larks rose on long thin strings of singing
and the air shifted with the shimmer of actual angels…

—Alastair Reid (1926–2014), “Scotland”

I love how Glasgow's tenements look in the sunshine. These 1870s blonde sandstone ones are on Woodlands Road on the west of the city.

Just caught a glimpse of Serine Andersen rocking a bikini on the beach, the sun shining bright in her eyes.
