About Me
- Frecklechops
- Upper Largo, Fife, United Kingdom
- I'm a Geography graduate from Fife, Scotland. I like music, movies, spending time with friends, reading, blogging, walking, hiking, cycling and just generally being outdoors. Particularly interested in the environment, wildlife, conservation etc...hoping to get job with the countryside rangers in the future. I've always loved taking photos, it's the perfect way to capture the moment. Bit of an amateur but getting more into it since I moved to the east neuk. There is so much to photograph here! I have a penchant for macro shots, but I'm also extremely fond of landscape shots with lots of sky!

Recap from the last week
Been a bit behind with my "photo a day" thing, since Kerry was visiting and I've been feeling a little under the weather the last few days. So here's an update of what I've been getting up to and what I've been photographing!
Kerry, standing outside of Claire's accessories (with a cheese and onion pastie) as a distraction so that I could take a photo of the merchandise advertisement in the window, which stated "IMPRESS EDWARD" and "IMPRESS JACOB" (Twilight characters). I was in utter disbelief at the stupidity of the adverts in trying to lure young girls into buying accessories in order to "impress" a character from a book/film who doesn't even exist.
Kerry getting "suited up" for what turned out to be an extremely wet walk to the beach. Was actually a lot of fun.
Stuart on the roundabout at Pittencrief park, Dunfermline.
A wee self-portrait of Stu and I (think this may be the first photograph of us together). I like it muchly :)
Jellies at Shell Bay. An absolutely unbelievable amount of these jellyfish had washed up all along the shore. Not sure what was causing it or whether they're being killed off by something. Interesting site, though we had to watch our step. Slippery little buggers!
My mum and Pepe posing for a photo at Shell Bay.
While looking for somewhere at ******* reservoir to hide our first cache, my mother and I came across these two, rather upset, geese. Pepe wasn't the slightest bit bothered by them but their hissing really began to creep me out.

Sunshine and Berries
Went berry picking yesterday evening. We have to pick the fruit from the big garden to freeze since the owners are away and I volunteered to do it. LOADS of Rasps and Blackcurrants!

Rainy days
The weather has been terrible for the past 48 hours, and I'm scared of getting my camera wet, so I've not taken any photos of anything particularly interesting. So I've had to resort to what I can see out of the window, and various other mundane things that are lying about the house, such as tennis balls!

Berry season
Been picking raspberries and gooseberries today, despite the weather being more like October than July. At this moment I can hear the rain lashing off of the windows, trying to get in!
I may have overdone it with the berries actually. Feeling a bit sick! But there's nothing better than eating berries fresh off of the plant! Can't wait to go strawberry picking, just so I can eat more than I actually put in the punnet!

Big cats in Britain
It appears I am destined to have an encounter with one of these elusive "beasts".
While reading the newspaper today I noticed a small filler article on a big-cat sighting near Aviemore, click here to see it. The exact location was Inshriach forest, near Kincraig.
My boyfriend and I are planning a visit to the Aviemore area at the beginning of August and Inchriach forest is one of the places we want to go walking when we get there. So it seems a strange coincidence that after looking up Blairadam forest and finding the tale of the "beast" and then this news report on a sighting at Inshriach. At least I will have my camera on me if I do see anything!
Sightings for large black cats seem to be very common. And although there have been several videos of sightings, no-one seems to have been able to provide undeniable evidence and indeed, proof, that these cats are anything other than large domestic moggies.

Although, I can understand why nobody has taken a close up photo of one of these things. If I walked round a bend in the path and saw this staring at me, I'd be off! Let's hope my 15x zoom comes in handy ;)
