Grey squirrel scampers in undergrowth,
tree-climbs to avoid hurricane-force
winds bending said tree three-quarters
over. Tornado-type funnel cloud emerges
over the Firth of Tay, oaks/elms/birches
toppled - blocking lanes on Kingsway
dual carriageway. Wheelie bins/litter bins,
road signs, advertising A-boards/hoardings
blown all over to become travel hazards.
Tay Road Bridge closed completely -
94 mile an hour winds…

(Adapted from Burns' My Heart's In the Highlands)
My Heart is In Assynt by Erik Zoha
My heart is in Assynt, my heart is not here;
My heart is in Assynt, shooting Suilven;
Shooting Suilven, Ben More and Quinag too,
My heart is in Assynt, wherever I go.
Farewell to Lochinver, farewell to Kirkaig,
Adopted home of poet Norman MacCaig,
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
The mountains of Assynt forever i…

Rannoch Moor, by Erik Zoha
Sun setting on Rannoch Moor-
Gnarled, ancient, wizened tree,
Ominous storm-filled sky,
Mile on mile of blanket moor
From Schiehallion to Buachaille.
Rowan, ash and oak remnants
Like decimated armies;
Isolated, ruined crofts,
Reminders of clearances.
Birds of prey on guard as sentries.
I don't know about anything other than posting my photos and videos/slideshows, sorry I can't be any more help to you. I've seen some threads starting but sometimes they don't make much sense to me.
I love your poem Rannoch Moor, Queen's View is my particular favourite of the area. I posted some of my poems on www.deviantart.com my user name is Gagav.

There are only two of us at the moment, but our aims are to post any interesting photographs relating to Scottish history
Through rain hail and snow
Your boats await upon the shore
For you to go once more
(I used these words on the side of an old fishing cottage, I enjoy adding words to photos)
It's good to hear your news. Sounds like you're involved in some exciting work. Also good to know that personal ads can be worth while. I'm pleased for you. good to hear your dad's still playing. Not so good about the break ins. I hope you've recovered from that.
Thanks for the positive crit on my blog. I'll check yours out later.
I moved from being self-employed to employing myself- now You Can Learn It Ltd- www.youcanlearnit.co.uk - Lots of diverse work coming in and meeting some great people.
Just about to start a blogging project for tutors. I'm teaching 1 student at PUSH. Communication is still sticky as ever with them. I keep in touch with Juultje via Face Book. She's back in Holland and happily working and enjoying time with her new man. I'm sure she'd be pleased to hear from you if you want to get in touch. Face Book works quite well for us. I also use it to keep in touch with other tutors and post resources.
Keep in touch. Bye for now
Sheila
