Early autumn reflections, River Spey, Aviemore One from earlier this evening – its been a week of wind and rain, and as it reached towards the end of another dull day, I determined to get out and enjoy some of it, hoping for the evening sun to break through. It did for just a few […]
Snow reflections on the banks of the River Spey, near Aviemore Taken during last January’s big freeze, with ice ‘pancakes’ drifting along on the current. I loved the rich golden sunlight and the reflections this created with the ice. One of the themes I often come back to with my quotations is the nature of […]
“SpeyBergs” – floating ice on the River Spey We had some very low temperatures during the week – several nights at minus 15 – with stunning crisp sunny days. Despite a thaw yesterday my garden is still covered in deep snow. It has been almost impossible to actually get anywhere, with the deep soft snow […]
Sunset light on the River Spey near Aviemore. Our Scandinavian conditions continue… taken this afternoon on a ski along the banks of the Spey, with the sunlight creating these beautiful snowy reflections. A constant flow of ice “pancakes” went drifting by, as the river starts to freeze after another week of constant low temperatures. We […]
Strathspey from Ord Ban, with Loch Insh and the River Spey. I’m not sure how much longer the leaves can hold out against the weather stripping them from the trees… but its been a beautiful autumn. This week’s image was taken as storm clouds rapidly advanced into what had been a beautiful, clear, morning. I […]
Ottertail river and the icefields of Mount Goodsir gleaming in the distance, Canadian Rockies. One scanned in from the archives this week, from a six-week trek in the Rockies, some years back! I love the light beams and the hazy distance here. I remember the chatty raven putting on an aerobatics display around me as […]
Cascade, River Orchy One minute its beautiful hot sunshine and everything is sparkly, the next minute its back to winter. “Spirit requires matter to express itself, and matter needs spirit to give it motion and meaning. As your understanding grows, you begin to see spirit and matter in all things, as two inseparable aspects of […]
A Rock in the flow, River Findhorn. Autumn really started to show her colours this week, with the birch woods turning gold, and a touch of fresh snow on the hills on thursday as well. This is at Randolph’s Leap on the River Findhorn. The day was so gloomy and dark but it allowed me […]
Evening colours, view of the Danube, Dobogoko, Visegrad Hills, Hungary. “When I keep my focus on the universe inside, I can have everything: money, success, and fulfilling relationships, as well as that incredible connection inside myself. If I am in love with someone and begin to think of him as my source of joy, then […]
Allt Mor Reflections, Glenmore – A favourite local spot, where trees overhang a still and reflective river. I don’t think I have managed to find it in such bright sunshine and fresh green, before now. This week – a summary of ten principles for Changing the World, derived from the words and works of Gandhi. […]
Cascade – catching the flow as it drops over the edge down to the pool below, the sun just catching the top edge. A week of sun, showers, snow, frost, rain, wind, … have I missed anything out? ” When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. […]
Randolph’s Leap, River Findhorn Gorge. Rays of sun filtering down through the freezing mist hanging above the river, last weekend. I find Randolph’s Leap, and the Findhorn gorge in general, to have a real magical quality, from the woods and the energy of the river. The river as a symbol of life’s journey must be […]
