Hi friends. The pup & I miss you greatly.
We haven't been present here for a good while. The linked article eloquently illustrates why. I don't wish navigate such course as Twitter is taking. I still hope things will change. Warm wishes to you. D&G

The pup Gill & I hope we'll feel comfortable returning to Twitter soon. (see my previous tweet). There are encouraging signs.

Hiatus
Twitter is my only social media. Lately, I've noticed activity that concerns me. I make no judgement as to its management, but we've decided the pup & I will take a hiatus until things stabilise. Please retain your links with us.π This, I hope, is but temporary.

The Kyle of Sutherland
Home again & back from the big city (met some great people), & glad to be reunited with Gill. A mighty interesting few days but this is more my natural habitat.
Wildlife aplenty, great views, hills & forests. Wishing you a good weekend ahead.

Assynt & Coigach
Whilst not always the highest, the hills of Assynt & Coigach hold a special place in my heart as they do for so many. Do you recognise these? The pup & I relish winter in these parts. Meanwhile, Iβm off to Glasgow for a few meetings. Have a great week.

"Boys, it's time to get the band back together!"
~with apologies to The Blues Brothers, the red deer rut has ended. The stags are regrouping. The full ("beaver") moon heralds the influx of seasonal woodcock to the Alder carr & Birch scrub. A grand season to enjoy outdoors.

Luskentyre, Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides
Good morning all. If you have any cobwebs left over from Samhain or All Hallow's Eve, this wee clip of the magnificent sands looking from Seilebost to Luskentyre may blow them away.

Inchnadamph
This beautiful church & burial ground stands at the head of Loch Assynt where the River Ionian feeds the loch. Wonderful dynamic Autumn light, spotlights the ruins of Ardvreck with the southern tip of the Quinag massif behind. A good weekend to all.

One from Perthshire. I didn't manage to get there last week but thanks to all kind messages. My back is improving thanks. This is one of my favourite autumn images. I can hear the melody of the tumbling burn.
Have a great week ahead.

"The best laid schemes of mice & men.."
..To quote the Bard. My plans for days off outdoors were kyboshed by my back going into severe spasm. Instead, I'm bed-ridden! Hey ho. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed soon. The pup & I hope your week is being kind to you.

A dog for all seasons
It's World Dog Day. There seems to be a day for everything but in this house, every day is a Dog Day.
I'm so grateful for the friendship of the pup Gill who gives me more than I can every give her. Here's to dogs the world over! #WorldDogDay

Torridon prepares for Autumn.
The glorious Beinn Eighe with the foreground of the Coulin Estate shows early signs of autumnal hues.
Wishing all a warm and cheerful week ahead.

Autumnal portent
The light is closing in such that Gill and my evening walks these days are often in the chilly dusk. Occasionally however, we're rewarded by a wonderful clarity of silhouette against the remnant sky of a sun that has set.

"Far from the Madding Crowd" (with apols TH)
Here's a wee secret. When the busy season comes & the pup & I want a peaceful outing, we often go wandering about beautiful Strathnaver. The quiet hinterland road from Lairg to Bettyhill holds much history & walking delights..
