A day of high winds, and plentiful early rain. Apparently we (well, Scotland) is facing the tail-end of hurricane Katia; and we’re getting the tail-winds of the tail-winds. So it’s gusty out there, but nothing more than that; and at least the rain has been blown away. All that preamble is simply a way of introducing a few disconnected shots taken over the past couple of days. Nothing particularly special here but I doubt most of these would fit in anything too heavily themed.<\/p>\n

This was from yesterday… a buzzard sweeping across the valley.

More sedate, but from the same day, a wonderfully elegant but shaggy sheep.

The last of Sunday’s shots is a collared dove. I really should photograph these very pretty birds more often. We have lots of them locally and they are particularly distinctive by the way they nearly always seem to fly around in pairs.

From today, just one shot taken a few minutes ago. The clouds are racing over the sky, but every now and then it clears to reveal the full moon.
