Not my idea of a Highland Fling!

Anders and I went for a walk the other week in the Royal Mile as it was a beautiful evening as Dexter was away with the Cubs visiting the Royal Observatory (both visits were "educational", this one however I am so glad I didn't have to explain as to why these girls were carrying about a blow up man doll). It was a weekday and so didn't really expect to stumble upon a group of girls celebrating a hen night (bachelorette party) as normally this happens at weekends.  

Not an advert for Scotland or Sean Connery, but it did make me think of the song Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang!

Lost and found

As I walked along Princes Street snatching photographs of people as they bustled past, I noticed a little doll on the ground ahead of me. Nobody stopped to pick it up and put it somewhere safe where the owner could see it should they return in search of their little friend.

She lay motionless on the pavement with her pretty blue dress and yellow hair tied up in bunches so I went over to rescue her and place her in a position where she could be seen waving in the hope that her owner might see her.....

.... and no sooner did I start to do this at the bus stop beside where the doll had fallen, did her owner appear.  The doll was duly ripped out of my hands by her Mothers friend who then shouted "found her, there she is"!

Surprised at the speed at which it was snatched from my hands, I turned around to see a little girl who was so happy to see her, and she then proceeded to hand her to me as though to say thank you from them both! I was smiling as it was so sweet, a sunny day and a little girl who had found her golden haired friend and I got to snap a picture of them both together.  

Street Life...

Street photography is definitely an art, and one really hard to do for so many reasons, but the sun was shining and Dexter, Anders and I took Marvin and Carly for a walk through the city centre as Anders was keen to do this so.... 

 let the catwalk begin....

Sashay....
