Gairloch, Wester Ross, Scotland


We have just had three days of heavy rain and gales. If you will visit Scotland in January, what else would you expect.
However, today dawned bright and crisp, so off to Inverewe Gardens we went.

We were sitting on the rocks near the jetty when this fellow hopped out of the sea near us. He did have a look at us but was not alarmed and kept us company for a while.



I loved his expression. Cormorants are comical.

Every time we go up to Poolewe, we look out for otters and are always unsuccessful. We have seen one in the distance but never had a "good" sighting. Until today, when we saw 2 large otters feeding in the seaweed at low tide. Didn't get any pictures so you will just have to take my word for it!

There is some art on the way as I have used the bad weather to get some painting done. More of that later.
