A little reminder that this exhibition - which has been so well received by all who have seen it - runs until the 2nd November - so there is still time to enjoy a trip to Pitlochry to enjoy Peter's photgraphs in the David Douglas Pavillion of the Explorer's Garden. The exhibition is titled 'Flowers of the European Alps', and includes many plant photographs, but also the spectacular scenery and wildlife of this area.
Catch it if you can!
