IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Philip Street, CARNOUSTIE, DD7 6EB

Taken from just before the bottom Green Lane looking towards Queen Street. The southern side of the street is largely occupied by large victorian villas. The north side is again mainly victorian but the houses are of slightly smaller proportions. A new build house can be seen partly obscured behind the tree in the centre. This represents a growing trend to subdivide the gardens of older properties for housing. The large roof behind this building is an engineering business an example of mixed residential and industrial land use.

This small lane connects Philip Street and Maule Street.

As June gets under way so do the bright summer flowers.

Looking west along Terrace Road.

Looking towards Lochty Street from Green Lane. A number of older buildings exist amongst the victorian and newer residential properties at this end of the street. The former dairy buildings on the north corner of the junction with lochty street is the most notable.

As daffodils pass the tulips move to centre stage in the garden. All of the tulips are red this year in previous years they have switched from red to yellow. A questioner on gardeners question time complained of a similar problem a few years back. The expert panel unanimously agreed that this was impossible. I can say for sure that it is not, but I can't say why?

The buds have just unfurled fresh spring leaves.

Busy completing a web close to mid day in late August

One of a flock of 10 Waxwings that has been making regular visits for the last week. Attracted by the last of the apple crop, this is as good a reason as any to leave tidying the garden until spring. Waxwings are a seasonal visitors from summer breeding grounds in Scandinavia and Russia. Some years see large numbers coming to the UK, this is the first time they have visited our garden in the seven years we have lived here.
