galavanting in the sunshine

haave spent a few days on teh sofa resting up so I was able to go out to play yesterday

we went to Collieston 

a beautiful wee village on the Aberdeenshire coast

galavanting through the archives

still stuck on the sofa trying to rest up so as I can go and play with the camera on Monday or Tuesday 

the nights are drawing in and we've had very little "summer" but as the nights get longer there is more chance of catching this

I love to see the aurora dancing in the sky and try to capture it on camera. only thing is many people go hunting expecting to see brilliant colours but the camera picks up much more than the human eye,  what you wil see is much more muted, if your lucky you may see faint colours and if its a strong show you may see it in stronger colour but not likely as strong as the camera.

galavanting stalled!

I have been such a busy bee over the last few months my fibro has finally got the better of me 

so the last few days I have been spending alot of time resting between short bursts of activities so heres a couple of old shots from 2008 

galavanting doen the rest and be thankful pass

Oh look another waterfall!

the snaking thing at teh bottom is a bit of old crash barrier, I shot this from the old road which was only feet away from dropping into the gully.

galavanting metal work!

Am I the only one that thinks this is a Roman soldier? if so why is he stood at the Glencoe ski center?

we certainly burned up the miles on this wet day from Arrochar to Glencoe and then over the Connel bridge!

galavanting in the rain

looks like the sun is shining over there, looking across Rannoch moor

trying to get photos of Glen Coe between the showers

when its dry you don't see the waterfall above this famous Glen Coe house.

galavanting in a forest!

I wen hunting waterfalls at Glenbranter forest

found a couple of wee ones

then this slightly bigger one

and finally a proper waterfall, a big noisy splashy one but couldn't see it for the trees at the bottom
