Golden Birch, Craigellachie woods, Aviemore When the sunshine comes through the autumn birch, Craigellachie birchwood turns to gold. Its just a beautiful place and a lovely wee walk. As somebody who is very energetically sensitive, I have come to realise (through the school of hard learning) that I constantly pick up not only on the […]
Golden Birch, Craigellachie National Nature Reserve, Aviemore Autumn is definitely on the turn – most of the birch wood turned colour overnight, a beautiful mix of gold, orange, yellow and some still green. We’ve had the most beautiful autumn weekend of warm sun showing the colours perfectly, but turning very cold in the shade! “The […]
Last Autumn Colour – Cairngorms and Rothiemurchus. The autumn here has been so colourful this year, now with the purple birch branches showing through the last golden leaves. This view looks across Loch an Eilein and the plain of Rothiemurchus to the Cairngorm mountains. Didn’t the full moon seem extra-bright this week? Maybe we haven’t […]
Birch Reed Reflections – Craigellachie National Nature Reserve, Aviemore I loved the effect of these reeds reflected against the golden birch backdrop. “The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self.” – Albert Einstein.
Autumn Mist – Craigellachie National Nature Reserve, Aviemore One of those rare days of perfection yesterday – morning mist followed by blue skies and stunning autumn colours. Voted ‘top day of the year’! “I looked upward into the vast expanse of world surrounding us and, giving thanks, finally understood that the world is truly a […]

Sparkletastic! “If your self-talk is accurate and in touch with reality, you function well. If it is irrational and untrue, you experience stress and emotional disturbance.” – The Relaxation and Stress Reduction workbook M. Davis, E. Eshelman & M. […]
Aspen, Sangre de Cristo mountains, Colorado. After a week of rain, wind, rain and wind, I thought I’d revert back a few years to some colour from the Sangre de Cristo mountains in Southern Colorado. The intensity of colour was amazing. I’m amazed we still have any leaves left after this week’s gales and battering, […]
Aspen, Strathspey. Yes – its leaves again – it must be the season! Aspen leaves tremble in less than the slightest breeze – making them a hard job to photograph! These ones stilled their dance for just a moment, early one morning this week. “Like an emblem of flexibility, Aspen can accept impulses from all […]
Aspen, Sangre de Cristo mountains, Southern Colorado. The light from the Aspen was incredibly intense – like walking through shimmering gold – it certainly helped to offset the altitude as I climbed higher. This photo was taken in a high valley at about 10,000 feet, surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo peaks at 14,000 feet. […]
