January 18th 2025 I’m usually up pretty early, breakfast is my job and this morning when I looked out, there was a strange hue in the sky. Front and back I actually just got carried away in the edit on that second shot but liked it. The waning moon was just going down behind the … More One morning in January
Well, I’ve said it a few times, the sunrise and / or sunsets around Ardersier can be absolutely stunning, I’ve felt overawed by some of the skies I’ve witnessed up there and this morning turned out to be a beauty. I set off for the fort as usual and parked up by the sports field … More An Ardersier Morning
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
So after that tremendous Aurora to end 2024 and start 2025 we’ve had mixed skies here but quite a few clear nights, which is great. I often set up a camera in our North facing window to capture a full night / morning of images and then examine them quickly the next day before deciding … More January Skies
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
