The first glimpse of the Isle of Skye from Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland. The Red Hills in fine view as The Skye Bridge beckons and a tantalising glimpse of The Cuillin Hills shrouded in cloud.
This was my first glimpse of this magical island and I wanted to share this with you - Skye truly is magical and lives up to it's name as The Misty Isle.
Enjoy the view with me and stay safe my Flickr friends!

My first sunflower is now withering, and there are many youth to glow in her stead. I have such affection for aging flowers, and I honestly think they are as beautiful as they age, as when they were in their prime.

We happened to be out walking along Paradise Pond when the earliest snow flakes from Saturday's Winter storm began to fly. Temperatures were down in the 20s so the snowflakes were compact little balls of ice. These are delicate little clematis vine seeds, on the botanic garden fence, with some of those first, tiny flakes on them.
I went out early in the morning, looking for large wildlife to photograph. In June, grizzly bear is the primary target, but I'll gladly settle for moose, elk or wolf.
It was another of those frustrating days, where you see fresh bear scat everywhere but no bears. A solitary elk crossing the road, too far in the distance for photos and a moose that was just teasing me but I knew I would have to be lucky to get a photo.
I had stopped a couple hundred meters from the moose and was down in the ditch, hoping that he would keep moving in my direction. Alas, he trotted off into the trees and although I took some photos, none was worth keeping. I just sat there thinking what a frustrating morning it had been.
Then I looked over and saw this young red squirrel on the ground, enjoying a snack. I am sure that out here, in the middle of nowhere, this squirrel had never seen a human before. I did this nonchalant thing that works with some animals, where you look the other way but leisurely creep towards them. Surprisingly, she didn't run away, even as I laid in the grass just a couple of meters away and slowly swung the camera her way.
We spent a few minutes together, so the morning wasn't wasted after all. I wonder what story the squirrel told when she went back to the trees.

The first slushfall of the season hit Sand Patch overnight, and enough of it lingers today to make an early winter scene. This is train M332-14, featuring eight units on the head end, eastbound near Mance.

We have red kites flying over our house most days, and this afternoon I decided to have a go at taking an image of one. I have aimed my camera at them before, but not had a recognisable result. Today I used continuous auto focusing and tracking using the hi speed facility, and after some post processing managed to capture one. I am now encouraged to try again.
First light in the Lyman greenhouses just touching the trays of tulips. This is Tulipa x 'Double Maureen,' a gorgeous, double white tulip with green accents.
