Close-up of a magnificent globe thistle, Echinops bannaticus at the Glasgow Botanic Gardens taken earlier this month. I used an old Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 manual prime on my Lumix GX7 to take this shot. So this is a manual-focus shot, and was taken handheld.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, Mountsfield Park has been vital to us where we go for our daily run or a walk, and occasionally to take pictures of colourful flowers - in this case some blooming chives.

One of the most common but also a favourite bird you’ll see in the British Isles. This one literally posed for photographs for over 15 mins early in March 2021 when I was out for my daily walk during the covid lockdown - and luckily I had carried my camera that day!

The ornate gate right across the bridge is not in use but the entry to the Necropolis in Glasgow via this bridge, apparently called the ‘‘Bridge of Sighs’’, is nevertheless dramatic. Most of the larger tombs are on the top of the hill, making it really look like a settlement on the top, a city for the dead who could pay for a luxurious afterlife. Its a fascinating place to visit if you are visiting Glasgow.
