    Another Gunn Modern Pic

    I know I just posted a couple pics of this kilt last month. But was playing around with the camera today down in Tucson and got what I think is a very good pic of what the Gunn Modern tartan truely looks like in a kilt.

    Think this is important since I was never much impressed with the on line swatches of this tartan and even the sample tartan swatch Rocky sent me a couple years ago didn't impress me - even with my Gunn lineage.

    When I finally said what the heck, its a blood clan tartan I was very pleased when the kilt showed up. Hopefully, your monitor will pick up what has me so happy.

    This is a USA Kilts semi-traditional in Gunn Modern.

    Very nice. And you always seem to have some really great scenery when you're pictured in a kilt.

    Ron, as you know Gunn is my clan, but I really cannot bring myself to have a kilt in the modern colours - it looks good (very good) on you, and you wear it so well - but it's not for me. I have it in ancient/muted colours and in the weathered colours, both of which I love, but the modern version .................................................. ... sadly, no!

    By the way, those Saguaro cactii : eighteen months ago, I brought back to the United Kingdom some seeds I bought in California (but packaged in Arizona!). I planted them in pots which I kept indoors on the kitchen window sill and a few of them germinated!! They have grown apace this summer - appearing to relish light rather than warmth - and I now have ten wee Saguaro seedlings, each about 3/4" high. They would have done much better, I think, if only we'd had some sun these past few months instead of the ever present grey cloud cover, but they're healthy!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Hmmm, Gunn is a distant clan for me...gotta go look at the ancient tartan though. Thanks for the heads up.

    And, I'm guessing you already know the secret to raising cactus - other than sun light - Just read the newspaper or check on line. If its raining in Phoenix or Tucson then water the cactus. Otherwise don't water.
