Even without seeing the weather forecast I knew it was going to be a lovely day, to-day. A sunset like this usually only means one thing.
I was driving home, after work, and had to stop to take this photograph.

The weather this March has been unbelievably good, and just keeps going. #Gruoch is enjoying the sunshine, too.
The pessimist in me can't help thinking "we'll pay for this later".

The Little Hills, or Wee Bastards as I was muttering to myself on the way up.

I've been away on a pretty successful research trip this week: functional public transport, very much walking, my camera lost and found [again]. This was the glorious, lumpy ridgeline to Beinn Narnain from A' Chrois, after a long ascent.
Hello fine #Fedifolk ^__^
This illustration is inspired by a #documentation on the benefits of returning #wolves to #Scotland, they could hold the deer (and sheep!?) population in check so natural forests could regrow! Just imagine the #highlands a huge forest!
Enjoyed this? Consider tipping me!

Voices3
Freewheelin'
Just Sing & Kinloss Peace Singers
Inverness Cathedral, 9/3/25
A capella harmonies with 4 different choirs. The concert started with Voices3, the three singers were joined by 6 more to form Freewheelin'. Finally, 2 further choirs, Just Sing & Kinloss Peace Singers joined, to make the full ensemble.
Songs included: Clear Blue Morning, Down In The River To Pray, Finlandia, & Here Comes The Sun. The last was my favourite.
Great concert.
Màiri Mhòr composed “Òran Beinn Lì” after tenants on Skye won back their grazing rights on Ben Lì & a reduction in rent – following “the Battle of the Braes” in 1882, where 50 police officers had fought with local crofters & arrested 5 men & 7 women

“Her cartography of place is a peopled landscape … symbolic of the community & culture that she knew in her youth, & these personal and communal associations have a fervent emphasis in her songs”

Nur geträumt oder doch nur ein schottischer Standard-Abend...?
Another week begins. I'll need to start looking after the garden, autumn and winter are the easy seasons where I can focus on drawing and painting. It's hard to find time for art in spring and summer.
