These are two pictures of the Murray Park Curling Pond. The first one was taken ten days ago with the second taken today. We’ve had about 6” of snowfall the last few days so quite the difference #Donside #Aberdeenshire #Scotland

Up on the Moray and Aberdeenshire coast. It’s not often I use a filter, apart from a polariser, but I thought I’d give an ND a go for a change. Bow Fiddle Rock, Cullen harbour and Sandend harbour and bay #Aberdeenshire #Moray #Scotland

I’m fortunate to have red squirrels visiting my garden regularly. At this time of the year it is time for them to start caching food for the upcoming winter months. The nuts I put out get taken away near and far including any plant pots that are nearby.

A couple more ptarmigan pictures from last week up on Lochnagar. The ptarmigan name comes from the Scottish Gaelic ‘tarmachan’, which translates as ‘croaker’ #Ptarmigan #CairngormsNP #Scotland https://getmona.app/rich_text/590624072265
