You’re really lucking out with the weather. Hope it continues as long as it can for your adventure. Hopefully this will steel you for the inevitable gales and downpours when summer starts 😋
Shouldn’t they be celebrating all these American jobs?
Good luck Nick, looks like an amazing adventure ahead of you. I am very jealous 😋

“hereby declare”, fucking lol. Like when we were kids shouting “god’s power” that meant you instantly won whatever game you were playing.

Just the head of common lizard (Auchineden estate, Scotland) peeking out from dry grass and leafy litter after it got disturbed sun-bathing.
Out for a walk with the boy in Auchineden estate (near Glasgow). Had to be quick. A flick of the tail and gone… Common lizard is a bit of rubbish name for this beauty. #Scotland #wildlife #nature #lizard

A pair of #Ptarmigan in winter plumage on the slopes of #CarnAnTuirc They made a great effort not to move as I approached, unlike the grouse which noisily launched from rocks every few metres. #Munros #Scotland #Wildlife #Birds #Mountains
Taken from below the summit plateau of Glas Maol, Cairngorms, Scotland, looking Northwest towards snow covered mountains, which are sunlit where there are gaps in the dark grey lid of clouds.
The shattered, rocky, snow covered summit cairn (with trig point) of Glas Maol, a mountain in the southern Cairngorms, Scotland. The sky is almost fully enveloped in a light grey bank of cloud rapidly covering the view.
Looking up towards the corrie Garbh Choire, part of the connecting ridge between Cairn of Claise and Glas Maol, which are two mountains in the southern Cairngorms of Scotland. The landscape is frozen with a thin layer of snow, and a craggy top, below a blue sky almost lost in scraggly grey cloud.
View from the valley floor looking towards a snowy Carn an Tuirc, a mountain in the southern Cairngorms of Scotland. In the foreground there is a river flowing down from the mountain (Allt a Garbh Choire)
Winter still very much in charge in the #Cairngorms A fine day, with the #GlasMaol #Munros all to myself. #CarnAnTuirc #CairnOfClaise #GlasMaol #CreagLeacach #Scotland #Mountains 🥾
Summit photo of Beinn Lagan, near Strachur, Loch Fyne, Scotland. There is a trig point in the foreground, looking over pale yellow and burnt orange coloured grassy moorland, south-west towards distant hills. The sky is streaked with sunlit clouds, gapped with pale blue sky.

Doesn’t matter how I’m feeling, seeing the first snowdrops and lambs of the new year always brings a smile. #spring
Didn’t know about this. Thanks 👍
Thanks both, really appreciate the added insight and interpretations 👍
A black and white cat sitting on a table facing the camera. She probably wants you to open the door, which has a cat flap in it. Because she’s a cat.
It’s ok, it’s Caturday #caturday #catsofbsky #cats #pets
Right, 2025, you’ve had your fun. make it stop now please.
#mood #HarlequinLadybird ? First I’ve ever seen in Scotland. Looks like it got disoriented by temperatures fluctuating between freezing and into double digits. Think maybe many of us feel like cramming our heads into a dark space and not emerging till the sun shines. #insects #ladybird
This needs more attention. As much as I have a distaste for prevailing measures of what constitutes “good” economic growth, this does not have to mean we stop pursuing improvements and investing in our natural habitats.
Hah, likewise 😉
I almost feel like I want there to be some evil genius behind all of this. Depressingly, it’s just idiots, morons, and cowards.
