Deepest, darkest December has descended on West Central Scotland. I'm sure there are plenty of natural connections on offer, but unfortunately all my daylight hours recently have been spent at work. There have been a few glimpses of what is about - a flock of Lapwings in the rush hour gloom (at Finlaystone), a herd of Whooper Swans in the distance over misty farmland (at Candrens) and a few, fat Fieldfares flitting around the cinema car park (at Linwood). Highlight was a beautiful, salmon pink, herringbone sky over Ayrshire one evening, with the outline of Arran etched in perfect detail.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
