Late to the party I know, but I've started making #sourdough.

Taken with my go-to everyday carry camera Fujifilm X100VI. I do love that wee camera... JPEG straight from the camera using Fujifilm Velvia film simulation.

Home after two weeks in Cellardyke, and greeted by the most beautiful light across the Tay in the Gloaming.

Great to be home 💜

True freedom isn’t endless self-reflection but stepping beyond the self, as Žižek shows. Weil’s selfless attention and Marcel’s focus on availability, (readiness to respond) teach us authentic selfhood grows through connection, not narcissism. Ancient wisdom calls us to self-denial and love. Moving beyond influencer culture’s hollow mirrors, we find meaning in generosity, presence, and radical openness-a path to true fulfillment. #Presence #Authenticity #Connection

Trying something new… looking over some of my photo library, this is an attempt at a slightly more complex watercolour landscape… The ‘L’ plates are up & still have a long way to go!

Wonderful #BlueSuperMoon over the #RiverTay and #TayRailBridge in Dundee last night. Stunning light. This capture on my iPhone. Better images to follow when I get time to download them from my Fujifilm XT4 later

Perfect soundtrack to this is Karine Polwart's superb cover of The Waterboys You saw the whole of the Moon
