A Puddock sat by the Lochan's brim. (PiP)

Fabulous capture!

Thank you, William. It was a perfect day for taking a walk in the woods.

Oh dear- I have trouble understanding even part of your link- reading at the same time helps a bit;-)
A lovely place- I like the leaves on top of the ice! You managed the PiP- congrats.-)

The Scots dialect is very difficult, even for someone who is English, to understand, Gudrun. so don't worry. I learned this poem when i was in school, and occasionally recite it as a party piece. Your instructions for the PiP were actually quite easy to follow after a few trials.
I am devastated that Ipernity is going under. There have been many suggestions, but I'm afraid that, unless someone buys the company outright, the show can't go on. I gather you are going back to Flickr. I just don't know what I'll do.

You still have plenty of time to consider what you want to do. At the moment I have only 2 photos at Flickr, just testing the waters there and keeping in touch with other Iper users. There are nearly 300 already in Lutz' group.
Yes I agree, someone would have to buy, which is something I can't see happening- who wants to run a business that doesn't generate enough money?

Thank you, William

Eye-catching! :)

Did you like the poetry and the inset, Ian? Just over over the photo with your mouse. ;-)

Inset was fine! - how do you do it? - and I watched/listened to the poetry too. Maybe not National Theatre presentation, but I suspect it's his daily 'tongue'.
Listening jogged memories of reading it at primary school. Incidentally, have you tried Billy Kay's 'Scots, the Mither Tongue'? Very interesting, I thought, both in relation to my childhood speech and to Norwegian.
