When you show up to the party in a tuxedo but everyone else is in flannels. 🐧
Nature’s camouflage is incredible... until the climate decides not to cooperate! This poor mountain hare is definitely standing out today. ❄️🌱

Mountain Hares
Three images of today's two hares that we encountered on the photography workshop I was running.
Neither did much, and they were both starting to lose their winter coats.

We're not the only ones getting out our winter coats this time of year 🐇
The area we look after in East Schiehallion is home to mountain hares, who share the hillside with ptarmigan, black grouse, and rare mountain willows.

Mountain Hares
A couple of images from today's workshop on the hills of the Highlands. Such beautiful creatures.
Email me if you fancy a day (or more) photographing mountain hares this winter.

I did this pastel drawing last year, it is of a mountain hare in a beautiful yet baron wintery landscape. There is a real sense of peace and quiet in this isolated, wide open space.
