Near Carr Point

Near fairy lochs

Superb day again. Yesterday, we walked at Slatterdale where they've removed a lot of trees & opened up the views over loch Maree. Unfortunately, I'd omitted to replace the memory card in the camera, so missed some good pics. Doh..........

Loch Badachrotha.

Blackwater, near Garve

Last Sunday's walk on the way to Inverness.

Autumn colours.

Blackwater, near Garve

Last Sunday we travelled to Inverness for a £19 Travelodge stayover. Stopped on the way for a walk at Blackwater.

Lovely walk, good start to a nice break. In the evening we went to Eden Court Theatre where we saw "Soul Boy"; a short film set in the 70's, about the "allnighters" at Wigan Casino. Nostalgia.

Isle of Skye in the distance. The weather lately, is better than it was during the summer.

Sealife

Today, Margot went for a cruise on the glass bottom boat, "Sealife" which operates out of Gairloch harbour. This is a selection of what we experienced this afternoon. Superb views,

wonderful, wildlife encounters,

sunbathing seals

& plenty of birds. Lots more underwater sights; fish, urchins, anemones, crabs, etc, etc...... www.glassbottomboat.info

Grey seal

Going......

going...........

gone.

She swims away.

Please feed me

She'd get in the boat if she could.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Result. Thanks for the fish.

Seal Saturday

Female grey seal who welcomes the boats into the harbour - hoping for a snack.

She really knows how to turn on the charm.

How wonderful to get so close to a wild animal.

This girl weighs about 300 kgs!

On the loch

Grey seal, camouflaged against the rocks

easier to see from the other side.

This one's not bothered by our presence, probably as it's partly in the water already.

Just enjoying the warmth.

not too happy about the attention we're showing.........
