Musselburgh

March 2025 - Musselburgh 

Optional theme - Simplicity 

Weather - Bright and sunny

Refreshments - Hollies Community Hub - Great scones, but only UHT milk for the coffee :( 

We saw all sorts in Eileen's photo of this driftwood - rabbits, jelly monsters, ghosts! 

Alex's close-up of the eroding paint on a boat's rudder looks like a drone shot of a sunny beach. 

Arthur found simplicity in a bare shrub on the seafront. 

Ada photographed this redshank in the harbour.

Beryl photographed the boats by the side of the harbour - waiting for better weather to be lowered into the water. 

Colin shared some photos from a recent trip to Spain. This image of a terrapin fitted the "simplicity" brief perfectly. 

Ian shared some photos from a recent trip to Newcastle. 

Cammo Estate

February 2025 - Cammo Estate 

Optional theme - Nature - this was a very easy theme for this location! 

Weather - Bright and sunny 

Refreshments - Caffé Nero, Queensferry Road - very chill atmosphere 

Lots of us photographed the snowdrops, but it was Ada who captured the best shot. 

Alex captured this image of the bare wintry trees and the watery spring sunlight.

Alison's photo tells the story of the Cammo Estate - the old mature trees giving way to new growth.

Arthur captured this crow looking down from a bare tree.

Barrie spotted this tree - a storm victim, and ready to be felled. 

Beryl's photo captures the long shadows of the trees on either side of the path. 

Who's watching who? This dog had no fear of the icy water. Photo by Ian. 

Kate was the only one of us who photographed the spring crocuses.

Maggie's abstract is actually very simple: trees reflected in a flooded path. 

Mandy found lots of birds, including this wren posing on a log. 

Sandra photographed many of the park's mature trees - including this specimen which surely has a story to tell. 

Eileen saw a grumpy face in this image of a gatepost.
