Peacocks for #mosaicmonday, here with vine tendrils & a basket of grapes. Well-observed, good quality work with, in the lower border, a striking decorative tromp-l'oeil ribbon set against a dark background & picking up colouring from the birds' plumage. Antioch 2-4c CE

In the Panorama Taverna in Apollona in the mountains in Rhodes, where we had wonderful slow-cooked lamb! #wallsonwednesday (but probably too frivolous for #wallpaintingwednesday)

The Hydraulic Station at the Prince of Wales Dry Dock in Leith, in a charming Italianate style (1858-63): industrial architecture that the Victorians did so well #windowsonwednesday

Redshank and Turnstone enjoying a high-tide snooze at Port Seton Harbour #waderwednesday

A visit to Edinburgh's Botanical Gardens for a walk and a light lunch. Splendid #Autumncolours, together with preparations for "Christmas at the Botanics", including the 12 Days of Christmas (& some more for #thicktrunktuesday)
