shetland on camera

Well, went to scotland on holiday, whit weather i had, rain rain and more rain. i posted on facebook that i was going to the highlands wae my camera, and Lynne from n/wales suggested to me [ she is one of our members ] why not come to wales, so i did, i had wanted to visit gigrin farm, where they feed the red kites, its in mid wales, so Lynne kindly took me, and what a sight we both had, at one time i counted 71 kites circling the site, it was amazing to watch them, we also went a walk along the river wye, Lynne spotted a kingfisher, i missed it.. Lynne was the perfect host.. thank you Lynne..

Then it was back to scotland, to my daughters home in strathclyde, i had to get back for my grandaughters 18th birthday.. thats Robyn, she is also on this website..

It was still raining, parts of the M6 were difficult to drive, as the rain was so heavy, and the spray did'nt help either.. but i made it in the end..

I still had to have a wee trip to the highlands, of course it was still raining, so i set off on a very miserable day, but between showers i did manage to get some photos, but the rain won in the end, and i turned the car round just passed bridge of awe near Taynuilt after the pass of brander, got some nice photos of the pass at the hollow mountain cafe..

A few days after i came home to shetland, i heard on the news that the road over the rest and be thankful was blocked by a avalance, thats the same road that i took. whew, glad it did'nt happen when i passed..

It was strange leaving shetlands beautiful summer [ almost drought conditions ] to find so much rain in scotland england and of course WALES..

I think my next visit next year will start with booking into a chalet in the Oban area, as i do know that Pinemartens habit that area, and i would just love to get my own photos of these beautiful animals..

Till the next time, take care, and it would be nice to see your posts also.. bye.. fur da noo..
