I love the area out at the end of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. I would go there all the time if I could. It's not far away but it takes the best part of an hour driving flat out at about 25-35mph most of the time. Here we are, near Branault, on the far side of Ben Hiant on the run down to Fascadale. Not many people go there which makes it all the more special.
Betagan - a medicine used to control glaucoma. This has no preservative so after use, the plastic container has to be discarded. I suppose that we humans have to accept that there will be some some single use items we can't do without. I recycle these so I hope they go to be melted down and made into other things.
I climbed down the icy rocks to get a better look and perhaps some more definition to my photos and noticed that one of the eagles had flown off. The light was pretty but quickly vanishing so I watched it for a while, took a few shots and left as well.
A single pole, a single silo...at least the trees have each other.
All I did here was a small amount of crop to eliminate a bit of road that seemed like a distraction.
For Telegraph Tuesday.

For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "observe the O..."
I've got folders full of shots of oranges .. they have such importance in my memory. As a post-war baby brought up with rationing of absolutely everything that you didn't grow in your own garden ..... Christmas was the one time we tasted a real orange! It was always in the toe of the Xmas stocking (which really was a woollen stocking!) and the last delight to emerge.
So there is a special place in my heart for the orange. And the most exotic oranges I can find are the ones with some leaves attached.

Unique, chunky finch. Note the massive bill (steely gray in summer, pinkish in winter) and blue-gray hindneck, like a shawl on an orangey head. Broad white tail tip and white wing band show mainly in flight. Despite distinctive appearance, shy and easily overlooked. Favors mixed and deciduous mature woodland, especially with beech, oak, and hornbeam, where tends to feed and perch quietly, high in the canopy. Also feeds on the ground in autumn and winter, sometimes forming single-species flocks. Gives high-pitched “tsik!” and lower ticking calls.
