The Camera is Back

My phonecam developed a spot about a week ago. Ugly, in the way, and depressing. It ruined a number of photos that I really wanted to take.

Occasionally, I could get a shot in that it didn’t ruin, but that was rare.

Fortunately, my phone insurance covers the functionality of the whole instrument, including the camera. I called Vodafone, and they sent a new phone to replace the old one. So now I have my camera back!

I tried it out on Fiona this morning.

I Love My Coffee

…and it loves me back.

I love this city, too, though it doesn’t show its affection in the same way.

I love the Botanics, and they show me the delicate drops of rain on a branch.

The first yellow flowers come out for me, even on a cold day.

The side doors of St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile stand solemn and graceful.

And the door handles from the back of the cathedral have their own rhythm. (Yes, this has been cropped.)
