Cill Chriosd Manse House, Nr Broardford, Isle of Skye

I'll give you a break from Valencia for a while!

Back to March and my trip up to Skye. I met up with Skyeweasel and although the weather/tides meant Elgol was pretty pointless she was kind enough to show me a few locations I'd not shot before on the Broadford to Elgol road.

I'd seen this old manse house on a map and aerial photo and had it in mind to try to find but Louise took me straight there and we must have spent 90mins at least trying different povs and portrait v Landscape orientations. The snow on the mountains added a different feel. Several areas of rock existed to create leading lines and this was one of them.

Have to say I really enjoyed this location so once again my sincere thanks to Louise for her help and guidance on the day. Check out her channel if you haven't already www.flickr.com/photos/95388056@N02

Some time before I shot the previous photo, the Black-shouldered Kite male was carrying this twig and landed in the tree where the nest should be. I suppose this was just some small addition to the already completed construction because I had observed the nest building process at lest a month ago. I wonder about the strength of his beak holding the twig so precisely at its very tip during the fast flight.

This house looked so sad for a very long time. The area at the front was overgrown and full to bursting with three cornered leeks.

It took the new owners a bit of time, but it's now looking lovely. You can just see the Welcome sign I took a photo of on the left hand wall - www.flickr.com/photos/44506883@N04/50176710771/in/album-7...

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

Young red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) collecting hay. Grass was recently mowed with some hay remaining, and it's a great opportunity for some nest improvement.

'twas great fun watching a pair shore up their nest in anticipation of little ones this morning.

Some of my old 1/72 were pretty rushed and all getting a good revisit. Much improved Mig-29 and now working on some camo versions.

This shot made Explore many years ago, but I wasn't happy with it. I took this with my first digital camera, a little Kodak point and shoot, that took great pics for what it was, but wasn't good at all for low light shots, which this was because of the storm rolling in. Also, at only 7.1 megapixels, it had about half the detail or less that some of my other point and shoots have, and a whole lot less definition than my DSLR! That said, I caught shots with it that I haven't been able to since, like the three or four lightning shots I managed to capture that day!

This was taken at Veteran's Memorial Riverfront Park in South Daytona, FL, right on the Halifax River. The storm was a nasty one, but it took a long time to actually drop any rain. Meanwhile, I was all over town capturing some spectacular shots that I only wish I could have gotten with a better camera! This was my favorite of the day. I was that close to the egret, and it seemed to be watching the water as if to decide what to do while I was watching it. I loved the moodiness of the shot, and though I might have cropped it more to be more in keeping with the rule of thirds, doing so would have cut off the bottom of that cloud ridge that gives dimension to the sky. Some rules just have to be broken! I did crop it some, and I think it was effective.

Some of the post processing tools that I use now were unavailable to me when I first processed the shot. I think this is an improvement over the original edit, which is below under the original.

I hated the all grey and blue/grey schemes, this was an improvement but far from what could have been considering all the classy schemes that disappeared into Family Lines and CSX. April 1990
