Taken on a long stroll with Dog: from the Southern Upland Way, slightly south of Portpatrick, appreciating patterns of cloud, light and precipitation across the sea over Ireland.

Sun, Sea and Sky
I never used to understand the appeal of going to the beach. I still don’t, but I do appreciate the simplicity and stillness of gazing out to sea from the coast instead.
Sunlight on clouds
Taken above Portpatrick harbour, looking mostly south.
Autumn Abstract
Filling the frame: blobs, lines and spaces.
Subtle yellow/orange/green-coloured autumn leaves and branches.
The Shape of Trees
Nothing beats a silhouette of shapely trees against a clear blue sky, tinged with glimpses of warm autumn light.
Not very welcoming
A fence obstructing the entrance to a walk through the woods; the local estate seems to be shutting down for winter.
Blue Sky Days
Low autumn light and undulating landscape
Perthshire
Early(ish) mornings with thick frost on the grass, painfully bright in the glare of the sunlight as the world warms from -3C overnight.
Autumn sunlight in the grounds of Gleneagles
Thick misty clouds lurking in the glens.
Forests of primarily oak and birch, the trees green with moss while their fallen leaves cover the ground in a thick carpet of orange, yellow and red.
Autumn sunlight and a partially frozen pond
A red squirrel scampering up a beech tree.
Freedom to walk in the woods, basking in the joyful glory of it all.
The Wee Cauldron waterfalls, just north of Comrie
Hard life
Choccie-dipped strawberries and juice with bubbles in.
