This week’s image brings us back to the wolf pack of the Highland Wildlife Park and was taken… well in the past. It’s been shamefully long since I last visited, so I’m looking forward to seeing what’s changed. Clearly, something caught this guy’s attention. Possibly the herd of reindeer in the next enclosure. Apparently keepingContinue reading “Sneak”

Hive
I took this week’s photo while I was on Bute a while back. At least, I think so. It was earlier this year at some point. To be honest, this year has been… interesting. Plenty of ups to balance out the few sizable downs and even those seem to have come out okay, so itContinue reading “Hive”
Wings of Chaos
Another one from the archives this week. This one harks back to our Orkney trip and our visit to the Tomb of the Eagles. The tomb itself (which houses no eagles, alive or dead) is rather dramatically sited and a fair walk from the visitor centre. As we were wandering back, minds filled with neolithicContinue reading “Wings of Chaos”
Supremacy
Its been a wee while since I went out and about with my camera so today’s image is from back in February when we went up to Spean Bridge. Sentences like that usually make me think about heading out into the (semi) wilds for a bit. However, the rain is rattling my window and IContinue reading “Supremacy”
Curiosity
Another one from the Highland Wildlife Park archives. This photo, from November 2019, was an opportunistic snapshot as we walked past the snow fox enclosure. I’d actually stopped to tie my shoelace and looked up to see this guy studying me intently. I wonder what he thought I was doing. Perhaps he was just lookingContinue reading “Curiosity”
The Invading Dark
This week’s story prompt image harks back the Isle of May Trip earlier this year. In all honesty the photo wasn’t taken with the intent of using it for anything. I was trying (with minimal success) to get better at catching moving subjects. This one was on the boat-ride in. The fog-laden air progressively filledContinue reading “The Invading Dark”
Here be Dragons?
A few years ago, while camping on Arran, I dragged the kids out on a walk that was supposed to be a 15 minute wander around the immediate area of the camp site. Instead it turned out to be a 6 hour epic for which we had: Insufficient water Insufficient food No raincoats Insufficient sunblockContinue reading “Here be Dragons?”
Pack
This week’s image is from ages ago at the rather wonderful Highland Wildlife Park. Through good timing, or plain dumb luck in abundance, the wolf pack was highly active while we were there. Spending even a short while with them delivered a lifetime worth of great photo material and a breath taking experience. A shameContinue reading “Pack”
Cauldron’s Web
I woke up today to a garden full of dew-glistening webs, which for me is a good start to any day. I keep trying (pathetically, really) to get a decent photo of one. Whatever skills or talents required to succeed at that still elude me, but I do enjoy trying. Spiders have fascinated me forContinue reading “Cauldron’s Web”
Master of the Ways
This one was from a while back. We were camping in the Lake District, which involved a healthy dose of rambling around among hills and valleys. Being the brilliant navigator I am, we got lost plenty of times. On every occasion when we found our way again it was hot on the heels of aContinue reading “Master of the Ways”
