A calm day at Hay’s Dock in Lerwick, Shetland.

It hasn’t been the warmest year for flowers but some, being sheltered, have withstood the cold and wind. On one of the least windy days I took a look around the Lerwick Flower Park and snapped some of the survivors.

Here also is a link to a previous blog I did last year on the Lerwick Flower Park.  It had been a much better summer then. LINK

These are some of the flowers to be found in the Lerwick Flower Park recently.  The wind has been rather unkind to some of the more fragile flowers like the long-stemmed poppies etc. so I was pleased to find these unharmed.

Another rainy day prompted the photographing of my daughter’s Tanglewood guitar. The Tanglewood Company was founded in London in 1988 and they produce Electric, Accoustic and Bass guitars among others. I love the Tanglewood guitar, it has a great sound.

Before embarking on a photographic guitar session I made a trip to our local music shop in town to buy a plectrum. What difference would that make, you may ask. Well, I think it adds character to a few straight strings.

The music shop, where the Tanglewood guitar was also purchased a few years ago, is called HIGH LEVEL MUSIC (click on name for some very interesting information) and is owned by Brian Nicholson who is himself a ‘not too shabby’ guitar player. That’s jokingly an understatement as he’s one of Shetland’s finest guitarists.

So with camera, guitar and plectrum in hand the rain no longer reigned that afternoon.
