A quiet local walk

Blocking squares for the teepee in the garden

Pendrich Road Bridge of Allan

There's a great car park beside the Riding Stables on the hill above Bridge of Allan

 

 

So many horses in the field

 

I love this photo with the trees and the mountains

 

Squares, soaking before being blocked for the Tepee

 

Blue Pool and Farm Walk

 

swan

A lunch time walk to check out the swans at Broomridge

 

This is a great walk for wild flowers

 

 

The eggs are gone and no young to be seen. Only one adult swan. Wonder what's happened

 

 

A local informed me that the female swan was badly hurt by some wire in the pool and had to be destroyed. The male sat on the eggs but the eggs were eventually taken away as he didn't seem to be coping

 

Glen Fyne

It was a fine day today to walk in Glen Fyne

I didn't want to continue along this walk due to the baby highland cattle which were on the road. I later spoke to the farmer who commented, I hadn't walked very far up the Glen and I pointed out that the babies were on the road. She insisted they won't have bothered with me unless I had a dog but I wasn't brave enough to risk it

 

 

It was a shame as it was a glorious day

 

 

But I saw a lovely Wagtail

 

 

I tried to go up the other side of the Glen but met more cattle. I saw lots of Martins flying around the quarry

 

Loch Creran

 

One of my most favourite places in Scotland, Loch Creran. Pete and Alex were diving in the Loch and I headed to the top of the loch and up through the glen you can see in this photo

 

What weather I had for this walk. It couldn't have been any better

 

 

I'm on the look out for Juniper as they seem to be getting rare. I don't know exactly what it looks like. Not sure if this is Juniper?

 

 

This is looking back to where I had started walking

 

There was a lots of flooding here recently

 

I disturbed this deer. Oop sorry.

 

 

 

We had lunch and a swim at the Holly Tree afterwards. What a view

 

 

A perfect day for me.
