Taken a few years ago, this mystical place gets to me every time, there is a real sense of 'something special' about it, one of those tingly moments in life.

There's something about this place,
and it's not even Halloween yet

The famous painted ceiling at Huntingtower Castle, Perth.
The castle was built by the 14th century it was owned by the Lords of Badenoch. Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, called the Wolf of Badenoch for his misdeeds, died there in 1394.

A great capture last night.
There's usually the mum with her daughter wandering through, but the youngster seems to have been relegated at the moment.

Honestly I love a happy seed head

It's funny when you look back through your image folders and find a strange photo totally out of context.
No idea when I took it, where I took it, or what on earth is going on

Edinburgh in sunset/sunrise mode.
A beautiful city, with fabulous architecture and endless history, there are endless photo opportunities here, especially in that golden hour.

The light and dark of spring.
Suddenly there are flowers everywhere in the woods, new blossoms to attract the pollinators but some like up hide in the shadows - maybe a little shy at how pretty they are.

A great capture the other day, I was out looking for baby foxes but managed to get this deer family outing.
We have dad and mum with 2 kids bringing up the rear, so lovely to see

The sudden explosion of teeny baby bunnies around here is lovely to see.
Little grass eating fluff balls, including our own bin-bunny, happily living behind them while he can (before he gets too big )

Sunset, a wonderful time of day, it can be so magical to watch.
The sky doesn't always 'pop', but when it does it's worth getting a shot or two.

A run up to the fabulous Glen Coe, a little snow still on the tops, but mostly quite wet and dull, managed to get some shots off though.
Oddly every time I go neither Mr Campbell nor Sebastian are home...
I sometimes wonder if they really do live there

Given all this record breaking rain, I thought I may as well take some photos of a soggy feather

Finally - the first signs of spring as the bulbs start to pop through

The sun actually came out last weekend, long enough to get to the local river for a walk.
Here's some 'fairy' water on the river, the good old long exposure trick usually comes up well.

"It's beginning to look a lot like ... Yellow"
Great to see colour finally returning to the garden

Tigh Mor in the Trossachs still looking more autumnal than spring like.
The fabulous late sun casting warmth over the chilly vista.

Chasing reds through the woods

Squirrels in the moonlight
-wasn't that a 60's hit by somebody
