You need to come north more often. In fact come over the border - Scotland has some of the most amazing coastlines! :)<br /><br />Hope - perhaps you should give night-sky photography a go. The main thing you need is a way to keep the camera absolutely steady, and the ability to do a 20 to 30 second exposure :)<br />Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-84059574488156343762017-03-11T17:28:35.711+00:002017-03-11T17:28:35.711+00:00One of the perks of country living...beautiful, st...One of the perks of country living...beautiful, star filled skies.

Mostly only green but I have seen shimmering curtains of green, purple and yellow. Because I often work evening shifts, and my drive home heads north outside the city, I can watch them as I head home around midnight. I'm glad you and Maggie had a few days' holiday. A little getaway is always so nice.Ponita in Real Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886875733169389887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-65829959616552354342017-03-07T22:47:19.341+00:002017-03-07T22:47:19.341+00:00Thanks Pat :)Thanks Pat :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-31644767228725349452017-03-07T22:31:36.369+00:002017-03-07T22:31:36.369+00:00They are heavenly but I adore the top one.They are heavenly but I adore the top one.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.com
