Ferries - James Watt Dock

A welcome break gave us some blue skies for a very short time today, then the bad stuff came back in.

Managed to get a few shots in the James Watt Dock on my way home from shopping.

Loch Shira and Loch Portain looking resplendent after their winter maintenance were a good photo opportunity.

Crimson Mercury - Bulk Carrier Vessel

Crimson Mercury - a bulk carrier - passed Greenock and Port Glasgow on her way upriver to Glasgow this morning.

She has been in the area for a few days but I believe weather prevented her going upriver any earlier.

A rather dull and dismal day but at least it stayed dry for the photographs.

Monte Carlo Rally - Glasgow Start

A wee trip up to Glasgow this afternoon to watch the start of the Monte Carlo Rally for 2013.

Around 100 cars set off from the People's Palace at Glasgow Green.

A good crowd turned out to cheer them on their way.

It's good to see Glasgow involved in this sort of event.

Snow Time

It's funny the difference a day makes with the weather.

We had by and large escaped the snow experience in the East and South England, but today we got a taste of the white stuff.

The dog (Maya) revels in the stuff so she got a good few walks today.

How Went the Day?

Maya on her first walk of the day between Langbank and the Kilmacolm Road.

She met up with her friend the pony, who comes to the fence to see us on our walk.
