    Ooh he's stunning MrJ. You take some lovely photos  image

    A few from my walk yesterday at Crianlarich. Two Munros I've done before but they make a great day out image

    From the aptly named Twistin' Hill - the ridge approach to An Caisteal (The Castle) centre of pic with it's little turret.  2nd summit - Beinn a Chroin on the left with it's undulating ridge. The hill on the right is Beinn Chabhair which can be linked with those two from a different approach.

    The route down from An Caisteal  to the bealach at 820 metres, taken from part way up Beinn a Chroin. It's a bit scrambly but great fun! image

    Pano from the summit of Beinn a Chroin showing it's ridge and An Caisteal behind. Centre of pic shows the drop to the glen for the walk back

    A Greenfinch from my travels image

    That's a little stunner Sheps. image   

    Greenies are in very short supply round here now which is a great shame. 

    You're too kind David  image

    The ground's still at that bleached, yellow stage, typical of early spring - the lower slopes aren't yet greening up. Still a fair bit of snow on the higher hills, although not too troublesome to cross as it's frozen solid, and none on the steep scrambly bits up and down from the bealach. 

    Are you from the Cranlarich/Tyndrum area Joyce?  It's a lovely part of the world.  image

    Thanks Fairy...I agree re the Greenies, we used to have loads in the garden, but now we only get a pair coming to the feeders.

    Beautifully taken landscapes shots too, Fairy image

    Thanks Sheps  image

    I've spared everyone the self timed summit shot this week image

    Haven't seen a single greenfinch in the three years I've been in this house. Had a few regularly in the garden round the corner, but they disappeared over time too.

    We had greenfinches two weeks ago but haven't seen any since.

    From Oban, Fairy.  Cruachan was my teenage stamping ground along with Rosemary (plant swap from Rothesay.

    It's a beautiful warm, sunny afternoonimage
