Always good to see the icicles forming below the weir on the Pennyland Burn.

The fallen leaves of beech and alder are raked into a curving line that ends at the Pennyland Burn.

The weather is very mild, but also very wet. Lots of energy as the Pennyland Burn crashes over the weir at the bottom of the #DumfriesshireGarden. Not a day for walking downstream – https://davidgrahamclark.net/2021/01/07/walking-

I never cease to enjoy the dogwoods in the #DumfriesshireGarden. This group looking lovely in autumn. I wrote about their winter interest on 22 February and pledged to create another group with home grown cuttings. I’m looking forward to planting them in the next few days.

Dr Joseph Clark walks the labyrinth, pausing at the tiny Cedar of Lebanon. September 2021.
By June the waterfall is gone, the burn is low, and this lovely dog rose is in full bloom at the same spot.
This lovely little waterfall, seen here on 4th February 2021, is an occasional visitor, but none the worse for that. It appears when the rough road above the garden pulls water down from the fields, which then runs into the Pennyland Burn. The overhanging ledge to the right is a favourite cool spot for small trout in summer.
The roaring Pennyland Burn, 14 December 2020. Quite different conditions to those described in my post ‘walking downstream’, which begins at this very point, the weir.
Grace and mutuality right above my head as I step out of the car from the school run. The squoosh of the Pennyland Burn provides the undertow to their calls. 12 December 2020.
