From a few weeks ago, when it was still Autumn :)

Miss Penelope, one of our resident female Anna's Hummingbirds, sipping nectar! She is enjoying our George Davidson Crocosmia flowers.

Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire where everything I needed all appeared at the same time, mist, sunlight and autumnal colours and simply in awe of the spectacle that faced me.

 

So, same tree as the first shot I posted from this session but taken at a different time and about 6 foot to the right as the sun had moved. Amazed at the dynamic range that was in the raw file, no hdr for this.

.. The Assynt one, with snow showers coming in over the hills.

The ruins of Kilchurn Castle on the banks of the wonderfully named Loch Awe, Scottish Highlands. Built in the mid 15th century and in ruins by the mid 18th century.

I've been thinking a lot about the singularity and our relationship with emerging AI tech.

  

Keep telling your stories!

Keep discovering the wonder!

Keep shining bright, my friends!

 

I live in San Diego, California, so I am no stranger to spectacular Pacific sunsets. That said, I spent several years at sea with the Navy and sunsets on the open ocean are on a different plane. While this is not from the deck of a ship, it is from Two Lovers Point on Tumon Bay in Guam.

 

I don't know if there is science to back up the theory that the cloud formations are inherently different...but I can say that I certainly miss this aspect of my former career.

Looking north east on the banks of Loch Awe, I could sit here all day long, as every moment that passes offers something new to cherish

Our journey most days started and ended with us driving passed Kilchurn Castle, so i thought i would take the opportunity "as it would be rude not to" to photograph it over the three days of passing!

Ruins of Kilchurn Castle on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It was first constructed in the mid-15th century as the base of the Campbells of Glenorchy, who extended both the castle and their territory in the area over the next 150 years. After the Campbells became Earls of Breadalbane and moved to Taymouth Castle, Kilchurn fell out of use and was in ruins by 1770.

And I can't fake another smile (and I can't fake)

And I can't fake like I'm alright (no smile)

Ooh, ah (ooh, ah, ooh)

And I won't say I'm feeling fine (I'm feeling fine)

After what I been through, I can't lie

Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)

Another image from visit to Loch Awe where the mist and light constantly changed over several hours creating different colours and mood.

Kilchurn Castle is a ruined 15th and 17th century structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Access to the Castle is sometimes restricted by higher-than-usual levels of water in the Loch, at which times the site effectively becomes a temporary island.

 

It was the ancestral home of the Campbells of Glen Orchy, who later became the Earls of Breadalbane also known as the Breadalbane family branch of the Clan Campbell.

 

The castle is maintained by Historic Scotland.

Part of a wider panorama that sweeps round from Kilchurn Castle, past the feet of towering Ben Cruachan (1126 metres) round to this promontory into Loch Awe..... and fresh Scottish midges.

 

I knew my trained assassin skills had not deserted me. Can you find the two men lurking in the woods?

 

It's just a shame there wasn't a herd of gingery Highland cows paddling in the waters in the foreground.

A perfectly still morning on Loch Awe - the pre-dawn light gave a lovely purple cast to the mist.

There have been several eagle sightings in my neighborhood, but I was not lucky enough to see one until yesterday am. I came out of my driveway to a nearby crossroad and this one was straight ahead of me in a pecan tree. Of course, no camera in the car, but he was kind enough to wait on me to pull off this still shot and then he flew. Luckily, I had installed my telephoto and new extender the day before!!

It is now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and is open to the public in summer.

I've taken a look back through my archives and have started re-visiting a few images either re-editing or processing previously untouched frames. This is one such frame of a sunrise from 2010, I hope it isn't too boring taking this action.

Another image from a perfect morning for photograph on Loch Awe. The conditions were constantly changing as the mist rolled in and out several times creating different moods and light. This is a panoramic stitch as the castle emerged from a particularly thick patch of mist.

A gentle light on woodland floor,

Surely life must need of more,

To grow through leaves with trees so tall,

A long way down this light must fall,

But natures knows her plants can cope,

It’s from our feet she'll trust and hope.

I was very excited when I spotted this last week on our hike in Dundas & was able to catch the awe of forest light

This loch extends for 21 miles from Dalmally in the North to Torran in the South plus a long 4 mile finger-like extension from Trevine to Bridge of Awe.

It looks very calm here but when the wind is blowing down it it can be very unforgiving, there have been many tragedies caused by boats being capsized by the unwary. I lost a good friend to it when his rowing boat overturned with 4 others on board, all perished.

To stand at the end of a glacier, to see it’s massive power, and to think of the years it’s taken for it to flow to this point…well…it’s truly awe inspiring.

If you look to the center of this shot you’ll see seagulls flying. They give you a sense of just how incredible the scale of this place is. And this was just a small section. It was overwhelmingly beautiful.

The awe of nature in all its beauty and generosity, which must be protected every day!

A view across one of the islands on Loch Awe a few miles north of Ledmore in Assynt, Scotland. This was taken late in the afternoon at the end of a superb day spent on the summit of Canisp.

I would say that 95% of the photos taken of this post have a boat moored to it. It was out on the water that morning.

I like the grasses and the scabious growing around it and the jaunty angle it has assumed.
