\"IMG_0099x\"<\/a>I don’t know what it is called, but it is certainly quite spectacular to watch – jumping on a bike, that is. I was enjoying the lovely spring sushine, trying to take yet another picture of my favourite trees in the field beside the Water of Cruden, near Hatton Mill.\u00a0 All the bridge earth-works were behind me and I was trying to frame the Uppermill wind turbine in the space between the trees and\u00a0 get a picture of the winter skeleton branches.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0088x1000\"<\/a>I looked over to my right and saw Luke’s head suddenly appear above the bushes, then disappear just as quickly.\u00a0 Now there was a photo opportunity!\u00a0\u00a0 He was glad to cooperate and I managed a few good shots as he made excelent use of the skateboard ramps beside the all-weather pitches.\u00a0 The fence may be broken a bit and there is some graffiti on the ramps but it all gave the feeling of being “urban”, right there in the middle of Hatton.<\/p>\n

And Luke was good, able to pull off the jumps for my camera and to get himelf\u00a0 in just the right postion.\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t know how he does it.\u00a0 Thanks Luke!<\/p>\n

There are other jumpers I have been trying to photograph on my daily walks, but they are not as cooperative as Luke.\u00a0 I have been watching the lambs in the field behind the Hatton shop.\u00a0 I have tried to get them to jump for me, as I waited patiently beside the fence on the Auchlethen road.\u00a0\u00a0 But no luck so far.\u00a0 But then lambs don’t have a Facebook site to post their photographs on, like Luke!<\/p>\n

The lambs are more interested in dinner than posing for the camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
