Well-Read Cat

Cats belong in libraries. Obviously.

Bluebells Redux

It was another beautiful day and, with the bluebells about to go over, this might've been my last chance to do something different with bluebell pictures. I said different, not good! So a quick wander around Mugdock Park (which was stunningly beautiful today) and this is what I ended up with:


Bluebells from high up



Bluebells from low down



Some random ferns...no bluebells involved

Arran

Yesterday the sun came out and on a whim I jumped on a train to the coast and got:
- the ferry over to Arran;
- sunburned.

Waiting for the ferry at Ardrossan:



Off the ferry at Brodick:



Random standing stones near Brodick:

Bluebells

Every year bluebell season comes around and I think to myself: this year I'll shoot them differently. It's kinda like daffodil season. Same old same old.

Uninspiring pictures, but really beautiful to be out in the middle of them. That's Balmaha Forest on the east shore of Loch Lomond, by the way.

Full House

Two new residents moved in from the local Dog & Cat Home.









Gwen is a bit "What the hell are these?" at the moment, but she's starting to come round already I think. Eventually I hope there will be pictures of all three without involving claws and teeth.

Glen Lyon

Some pictures from a hiking trip into Glen Lyon and over the peaks of Carn Gorm, An Sgorr, Meall Garbh, Carn Mairg and Meall na Aighean. First day of spring. Beautiful light. The peaks were in the clouds and there wasn't a thing to be seen, but lower down the slopes I could still have a "see how pretty Scotland is out of season" moment.

Argyll

I was trying to keep to posting pics in chronological order for a while. But I got distracted by some newer pictures. I don't think it counts as chronological order if it is only for one post!
Anyway, trying to get back on track...these are some pictures I took in March. Everyone knows that Scotland's all about grey skies and grey seas. That's because we keep all the sunshine for ourselves outside the tourist season. The Argyll coast is very lovely. And very quiet.

Necropolis

Some pictures from the Necropolis today:

Daffs

Doesn't the world have enough pictures of daffodils? Actually, no! Daffs are ace. One day, daffs will save the world!









Actually, I was in the Necropolis today to take pictures of things other than daffs. But I couldn't help myself. I'll doubtless post some of the others when I've worked through them. Such a backlog of photo!

On a tangent, if you enjoy beautiful photos and tales of cats, let me recommend [info]kylecassidy's pages if you don't already read Kyle's journal.

Ballymeanoch

Just when you thought you'd been spared from my pictures cluttering up your friends' page...

Sorry for the extended silence - I've been travelling both in and out of the country quite a bit recently. Having a lot of fun, taking many pictures - all the important things.

I don't for one moment think the world needs any more of my pictures of the Ballymeanoch standing stones, but I was over in Argyll for a couple of days and I really didn't have the world's best interest at heart. The world is welcome to sue...
