Watched: Knock Down the House ★★★★☆ which was fascinating from an ocean away. 📽
Four working class women run for Congress, overcoming adversity to battle powerful political machines in very different American landscapes.
Watched: succession
Just finished watching season 1 of succession, not one likeable character, wonderfully funny. 📺
Quite a lot of rain recently, but we had a dry hour or so, some sun a a fairly strong breeze.
A few blue damselflies and smallish red dragonflies along the path. Sheltered by the bracken which is starting to droop, lots of flowers go to seed. Scabious coming up strongly.
A few peacock butterflies on the knapweed, a small copper on the path, the odd painted lady and white but fewer than recently.
I love seeing wood pigeons flighting in the wind. The Black Linn was full of rain water.

Lots of food for thought.
I like the proportions of this fishing boat. Pittenweem harbour on a rainy Sunday.
Day 5 in @macgenie‘s photo challenge Determination. This is what the painted ladies need to migrate from North Africa to Scotland across multiple generations. Seems to be a big year for butterflies here painted ladies in particular.

Thanks Aarron,
Worth watching more than once. Lovely, fascinating animation. I wish I had some data to put into Flourish!
