Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park outside Edinburgh, Scotland Climbing up with Edinburgh Castle visible in the back: A view toward the peak: A panoramic view from the top: Another view in the park, it hard to believe this is walking distance from the heart of Edinburgh:

Some of the "Larimore Flock" of wild turkeys coming from the neighbors' across the street to eat black oil sunflower seed under my feeder tree - just to the left and out of site of this deck rail.

That's awesome, Jasdip! I've been feeling guilty every time I use a plastic utensil and have started carrying a set of plastic ware in my purse to use in restaurants that provide only plastic forks and spoons. Its good to see that alternatives are being developed.

Jasdip////Do YOU have that local's permission to post their photo? Please only post photo's YOU have taken or a family member has taken of say YOU. Otherwise it's just another photo taken off the internet.....and saying it's off the internet. NOT COOL! Here are the guidelines for posting on THIS thread: What goes on here? The guidelines are: these threads are to share photos *you've* taken. It is not about posting photos others have taken. Please don't just pull something off the internet and say "it's off the internet" or use your camera to take a photo of a photo on the internet. Not cool! Please know the source of your photo. If you did not take it then credit the photographer who gave YOU permission/family member/friend who did. Posting a picture you haven't taken should still be personal in some way, such as, my son took this picture on our vacation or husband took this photo of me. this is not a photography contest about the quality of the photo, so everyone is welcome from beginner to pro, whether using fancy equipment or a cell phone while there may be a theme for the day suggested by the initial photo, it is not necessary to follow that theme it is suggested that you put no more than 5 photos per post. One or two are optimal providing a caption isn't required, but it can be helpful for others viewing your picture these threads are meant to be a respite from the craziness in the world, so posts/topics that are potentially controversial, contentious or upsetting are discouraged By following these guidelines, it is hoped we can keep the atmosphere here pleasant and welcoming which will encourage us to share our experiences while enhancing our creativity and our ability to notice and appreciate the world around us and our fellow posters. Thank you for your participation and cooperation. Happy shooting!
