Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Last set from Scotland.

1. The only pic I got in Inverness was this bright rainbow.
2-4. Foyers falls, I don`t think even Davemac would want to get too close to this 165 foot waterfall.
5. The road back to Fort Augustus, an 80 mile drive around the Loch almost complete.
6. Ruins of an old bridge.
7. A closer pic of Nessie.
8. Last one of the Stag, yes same to you.
9. The Nevis Range cable cars were closed due to high winds.
10. Another big waterfall, this one in Glencoe.

Great rainbow pic.I'm jealous of your red deer pics.

Thanks, I was hoping to see more wildlife up there, Red Squirrels, Seals, Otters, Birds of Prey and Pine Martens are things I`ve read that we might see. In the end it was Red Deer, cows, sheep and ducks.

We have booked a cottage near Forres in May and I'm going to Chanonry Point to see if I can get some pics of the Dolphins there. It is suppost to be one of the best places in the world to spot dolphins so near the shore

That sounds excellent, good luck, I would love to see wild dolphins. Closest I`ve come to anything like that is Basking Sharks off the coast of Cornwall and there was a beached whale in Egypt a few years ago that got pulled back into the sea by a big boat. Unfortunately I didn`t see it as I had Cairo Tummy.:pain30:

I thought so with the times of our posts being the same, but AccyExplorer may think it was for my pics.:)

I'm well behaved, have good manners and don't eat very much.
I would love to have something like that to look forward to....and a new venue to take pics would be alright too :)

Re: Today in pictures

I'm just getting caught up with all the wonderful photos of the past couple of days. It's too late to comment on them all, but thanks to our great photographers for sharing. I'm still reeling from seeing bluebells, daffodils and crocuses growing up at this time of year - almost too much for my snow- buried soul to endure! :eek: And the scenes of Scotland - gorgeous - I love the cheeky deer shots! The views from Memorial Park are gorgeous - I always have a soft spot for that. Just remembered seeing an aviary of budgies there when I visited as a lass. And the exploration views of Accrington - a real treat. Thanks all!

Something new from me today, miniature faking, tweak a photo in an attempt to make it look like a miniature model. My first attempt, probably could have done with a better starting pic.
