Very much giving me the look of “and who do you think you’re staring at?”, you would think that she’d be used to it by now….
I’ve just checked my FeedBurner stats and seen that I now have over 250 RSS subscribers 
Wow, hi everyone - drop in and say hello anytime….. and thanks to Brian at the magnificent Epic Edits weblog whose addition of Autofocused to his list of photoblogs to check out is responsible for this huge increase (up from about 30). I’d better get my camera out….

The Tay Bridge
The 100+ year old New Tay Railway bridge in Dundee, Scotland replaced the old bridge that got blown down in a terrible storm in 1879, immortalised in a poem by the best-worst poet, William Topaz McGonagal:
Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv’ry Tay!
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember’d for a very long time.
’Twas about seven o’clock at night,
And the wind it blew with all its might,
And the rain came pouring down,
And the dark clods seem’d to frown,
And the Demon of the air seem’d to say –
“I’ll blow down the Bridge of Tay.”
Read the rest, if you must, here.
