Sunny moment amid April showers at the Fortingall Yew today - one of the oldest trees in Europe, estimated by Forestry and Land Scotland as 5000 years old.

Bit of a busy day, photographically - afternoon out up the glens, set up the telescope this evening and then just a quick aurora tonight to round it off :)

So that's at least 3x they've moved it... but more interestingly it seems to havespawned a whole load of micro-quakes aftershocks overnight too! Woohooo :)

It's early days and there's a fair chance the BGS might move it, but for now, initial impressions are it's directly on the Tyndrum fault line, which makes a change from all the other quakes around the area since last autumn.

Strathearn Spring:
bird under stick
sunlit back fields & hills
and the amelanchier is blooming ๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ˜

Life is a flower / So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling / And the world will smile with you
