Weather was good for walking GD - a bit humid so lots of midges on the lower slopes, but cooler a bit higher up. Lots of cloud moving in and out on the bigger summits though and Ben Ledi ( which is further west) was completely shrouded in cloud. Unfortunately that was one of the photos that didn't come out well after pressing something ...
The rock was stunning - there was another smaller piece with a lovely creamy stripe too. Quite random among all the granite etc
Hmm - someone with a huge gob - can think of one person who fits that description...
Smileys are working again
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Ooh - you're so good Sheps! I couldn't get any closer without him flying off. I did think he was slightly different to a wheatear, but couldn't think of any other bird it could be. I didn't even think we got redstarts up here. Going to have to take you with me to get my birdwatching up to scratch
Sadly none next to the car when I parked today. Not even a lot of grouse - only a few giving me heart failure...

Love it when you can ID anything so quickly. I'd love to spend a bit more time getting bird pix but I'd never get up any hills if I did
Never seen the rowans looking so 'full' Joyce. They're stunning. So many of them are 'traffic light' red too. There was a beauty coming back out the glen - easily forty foot and absolutely weighed down with rich red berries. Couldn't stop with it being a single track road unfortunately.

Very kind Lesley. I should have taken one on the way back down - and a bit nearer. It had brightened at lower level and the loch was glowing. There was a couple of people out water ski-ing. Lochearnhead itself was looking really pretty.

The horse chestnuts, in particular, are all very golden Liri. Beautiful though. It's my favourite time of year I think, as we often get better weather than in summer anyway!
Lots of leaves down already in some areas with the recent windy weather.

Ey up, Fairy...you keep posting the pictures, and I'll keep helping out with the ID's, but only if needed of course
I bet your Grouse are keeping their heads down until after January
Sheps...
Definite autumnal tints starting Fairy. Love it when the hills colour up

Stunning again Fairy
. The first one should be on the front of the Visit Scotland brochures.

Autumn colours already, Fairy... lovely, but it always seems to happen before we've had much in the way of summer.

Lovely photos yet again, Fairy.
This is the river we walked to last week, think I put it on chat thread. Also the sky a couple of days ago at sunset.
