Walking my dog Skye

I've been thinking for a while I should have a little project, maybe photography related. And then recently my head reminded me of a lovely book I've read a number of times called "Walking my dog Jane" by Ned Rozell. And one thing led to another so here is a project where I'll gather a few photos of my walks with Skye.

I'm thinking a lot of them will be of Skye amongst the scenery, but not all. And maybe giving me a focus will help improve my photos. I'm not one to set up a sunset at a specific place, or setup anything. I see something and take a snap along the way. Some walks will be our low-level regular places through the seasons but with a bit of luck, health and weather permitting, we'll get up a few munros this year too.

See what happens.

We went to Contin for a kick about in the woods.

That's a great idea Beth!

and what a fantastic image to start, I think Skye will be very popular.

To escape an emergency boiler man visit we headed up past Loch Maree to the Red Stable, which is now green(!) with the idea of heading for Loch na h-Oidhche (loch of the night) but given the short daylight hours didn't expect to go that far,

Those very low clouds will catch the sun on top for some stunning background sky.

Youre going to have a great time, really looking forward to these.

Loch Glascarnoch. Sunshine and deep snow made for more interesting photos. We crossed the dam, slightly scary to see the water level very high, and wandered along the track on the far side towards the Vaich Hydro power station. The local ghillie had been along with some clients and made packed tramlines for us to walk in. Whilst in the fenced off regeneration area we saw 3 deer cross the track ahead, but wasn't quick enough for photos.

This morning's sunrise was a cracker and the estate's play equipment gave the foreground a little more interest.

We then went off to Lochinver to get pies before the shop shut for the rest of the month. Whilst walks were short Skye did get cuddles on the front seat of the van so it wasn't all bad!

Tomorrow we're off for a decent walk, maybe a hill. See what the weather is doing first thing.
