Portobello Beach Edinburgh Day 273

Cyclist, Mind that dog! Mind that dog mess!

Theses white signs have appeared recently on the promenade. I hope they might have some effect on the small number of anti social dog owners who do not clean up after their dogs. One of the worst offenders are those who exercise their dogs while cycling and never look back to see what there dog has done. ( This cyclist is not one of those - I hasten to add.) The others are the professional dog walkers, as seen in the top left corner who bring packs of dogs to the beach and when they run every where it is impossible to track all their mess. I am pleased to note that Environmental Wardens have been in operation, undercover, and have fined a number of irresponsible dog owners recently.

The sea was flat calm again today after yesterday's choppy easterly wind. Thank you to everyone who viewed or commented my T-Rex Cancer Awareness week. T- Rex is en route to Warwick by Royal Mail today.
