Another Common Blue

I posted a Common Blue Butterfly not that long ago, but found this photo from 2022 and had to post it. 

Isn't he gorgeous!

Not A Duck!

 

I thought this was quite funny, the seagull joining in with the ducks at the pond. I think he was pretending to be a duck! There are a good few seagulls at the pond and always appear when I appear! They know I will feed them!

Different Insects On Cow Parsley

 

Various insects on Cow Parsley. First up is a fly, second a wasp and hoverfly, third the same hoverfly in the second, fourth a bee with lots of pollen and fifth sawflies. All important insects. Apart from the fly they are all yellow and black!

A Web In The Rain

 

I love seeing webs after the rain or when they freeze, you can really see just how talented and artistic spiders really are. I took this in September after we had some heavy rain!

The Many Colours Of Autumn

 

I do love all the different colours Autumn has to offer. It is a very pretty time of year and am always in awe at this time of year.

Looking Up

Tom at Backroads Traveller posts a lot of "Looking Up" photos and I was impressed so starting trying it out myself. Check his blog out here: https://backroadstraveller.blogspot.com/ he posts some wonderful photos. These are the first 2 I took and quite happy with how they turned out.

We have some wonderful and amazing and very tall trees here in Scotland. One of the many good things, plenty trees and plenty forests.

Happy Hallowe'en 2024

We have been to a few events this October, so here are some photos from these events.

 

The Photographer sign made me laugh and just had to get a photo of it! The Pumpkin in the last 2 photos is the one we picked and my partner carved it. I made soup with the flesh and roasted the seeds, so most of it didn't go to waste! 

Have a Happy Hallowe'en everyone and if you don't do Hallowe'en have a happy 31st October 2024!

Another Funny Sign

Not done a post for Signs in a while and this one made me laugh so much.

 

I saw this on the back of a car when I was out last month and it made me giggle so much!

Enchanted Forest 2024

This year we visited The Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry, check the website out here: Enchanted Forest. It is basically a light show in a forest! It was amazing and I have quite a few photos from the event. 

I really enjoyed it and loved all the colours and the reflections on the water. That had to be my favourite thing! I have included a lot of reflection photos. They had plenty toilets and plenty food stalls for visitors and a merchandise stall too. All the money made from the event goes to Charities too. Will definitely going back next year! 

Autumn Is In Full Swing

 

Autumn is certainly happening over here just now. Gorgeous leaves everywhere!

More Funny Teefs

This post relates back to my post on the 21st October: Funny Teefs 

This camel was at the same farmshop that I saw the Llama in the post on Monday 21st. This Camel pulled a few funny faces and managed to get a shot of his teeth in the second one. They had a few other camels but they didn't pose as well for me. This guy was my favourite and just how adorable is he? 

Rammy

 

I took these a few years ago. We have a few rams here. It looks like the older one is shouting at the younger one because he decidced to have a seat! I just love the expression on the older ram and the younger one couldn't care less! Lovely sheep.

A Lovely Sky

 

I took this photo in January this year. Isn't a wonderful sky?

Cranefly

This is a Cranefly, from what I can see online I think it is a Phantom Cranefly.

A Beautiful Crow

 

Haven't posted a crow in a while. This guy was a regular at the pond last year. I would feed him both wild bird seed and the duck pellets. I used to put them in a little bit just for him, as you can see in the second photo. What a gorgeous and intelligent bird. I built up a good relationship with him and he would wait for me nearby. The more crows get to know you, the more they trust you. BUT you have to earn that trust. In return for this food he would pose for my photos! I think building a relationship with a crow is an amazing experience. They are gorgeous and lovely and smart creatures. They are one of my favourite creatures on the planet along with cats and ducks.

On A Mission

 

This snail looks like it is on a mission charging forward! It has a lovely pattern I think.

Funny Teefs

 

Just how cute is this Llama? And how goofy and adorable does he look with those teeth of his? I took these in the summer when we were down in England at a farmshop. They also had a few other animals and a great selection of goodies. That part of the country also had super weather, which we lack in Scotland!!!!
