Thomas and I took a walk yesterday. Iain was soaked from running through a puddle almost large enough to qualify as a pond, and the picnic lunch was over. So Lewis drove home with Anna and Iain, while Thomas and I explored Broompark Woods. The weather cooperated beautifully, although clouds had threatened earlier in the day.

Since my iPhone takes decent photos, I often record family moments or interesting views--as I did on our walk yesterday. Thomas was desperate to take some pictures, so I showed him how to use the iPhone camera and offered to be his first subject. He wasn't much interested in me, to be honest, but dutifully used the camera's guide (a square frame that helps you to compose the picture) to place me in the middle of the photo. Then he wanted to try photographing some scenery. This is the shot he took on the way home: "I want to take a picture of those two clouds in the sun," he said.

Not at all bad, really.
