Ooh he's stunning MrJ. You take some lovely photos
A few from my walk yesterday at Crianlarich. Two Munros I've done before but they make a great day out
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 view back from that little turret with the Etive hills in the background
summit view - from left, a glimpse of Loch Lomond, the Arochar hills, Dalmally hills, Etive, Tyndrum and Orchy hills
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!
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
Zoomed shot of Ben Lomond from the summit
Hope you enjoyed walking with me
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Greenies are in very short supply round here now which is a great shame.
You're too kind David
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.

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

Lovely pics Fairy. Getting near to where I was brought up
Love those, Fairy.....I'm running out of adjectives.
A Greenfinch from my travels
That's a little stunner Sheps.

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
Thanks Sheps

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 afternoon
