Up and at ’em, I thought. It was damned chilly out there and a good breeze blowing right up the firth; ach well, you’ve got to take the rough with the smooth eh? It was 08:59 when I parked the car and walked to the shore. Hats, coats, gloves on….. that breeze was COLD! There’s … More Ardersier – January 15th
My parents have lived in the coastal town of Ardersier for over thirty years, there’s just mum now so we get up to visit as often as possible, not only to visit mum but, Ardersier has some great walks and scenery surrounding it and the sea right across the road! I love the walk along … More Ardersier in January
Mum and I took a run to Nairn for a different walk, who knows? Maybe even a bag of chips? 🙂 It was mid-afternoon and still blooming chilly but we had a walk along the West beach and back. The sky was absolutely beautiful, subtle colours and great clouds. I didn’t take many shots, it … More January 14th Pt. 2
I’ve not been getting up to Backwater reservoir as often as I’d like, partly bad weather, partly poor weather, in other words dull and overcast for photography. I did get up three times over January but that doesn’t feel like often now. Also, it’s pretty quiet at that time of year; the light can be … More Backwater in January
We’ve had a fairly good week up here, weather-wise but it’s been bitterly cold with smatterings of snow and a cold wind so, I haven’t been far, up to the feeding post couple of times, that’s it. That at least gets me some exercise, and steps as well as photo opportunities. This morning started completely … More First visit since New Year’s Day
Where we now live has almost 360 views, being on a hillock with dips to front and back, it has allowed me fantastic access to skies I may have previously missed and some natural events I most definitely would not see in our previous, limited urban skyscape. What that means is, I spend quite a … More Into a new year
Since I walked up to this area last year, I’ve been keeping an eye on it, we drive by most days and I now walk up to or by it most days too. Because I discovered Nuthatches up there, I decided to try leaving out a food mix to see what might come down to … More The old Oak feeding post
The weather hasn’t been great over the last few days and today was looking more promising so, we’d planned a trip to Scurdieness and a walk to the lighthouse and maybe even beyond. 12 o’clock arrived and we were just about ready when I realised it’s a dull day already, it’s 12 o’clock already and … More A New Year’s Day wander
December 2024 It’s that time of year, Autumn into Winter when we are seeing some wonderful sunsets and sunrise. Not everyone sees them, some work different hours, some just don’t see them and I guess there are those that just aren’t interested? This morning was a real beauty in my opinion, quite subtle and fairly short-lived but … More One morning in December
I have a few varied shots gathered in December so I thought I’d put them together here to highlight some of the variety to be seen and photographed. I’m hoping for a little more as the new year runs into Spring and Summer. I’m seeing more and more Treecreepers up there now. As I walked … More An end of year collection
