Misty Caledonian Forest moods :)

Also featuring the Foam of Confusion(TM) - where I once saw the foam skimming a layer of ice on the river surface, surprisingly and deceptively slow given the unrest of the waterfalls around the corner...

So this prolonged series ends in one of my favourite weekend escapes - the Black Woods of Rannoch.

Nature does not require justification - least of all as a means to further some goal of mankind .It should just be, pure, beautiful in its authentic rawness and evolved balance, left to do what it will.

There's something about this little clump of Scots Pines that really appeals to me. Emerging from the carpark to look over the Caledonian Forest, they're the first few trees one sees. Characterful. I've admired these in particular every time I've visited for over 15 years.

An image from some incredible frosty conditions last December in Scotland's Ancient Caledonian Forest. A morning to remember. I waited quite a while at this particular birch tree for the sun to crest the hills to the south in hopes that the hoar frost would glow, and it did just that and then some!

Just finished a stroll in the Caledonian Forests of Rothiemurchus, emerged to find it raining that peculiar thick yet soft rain so bright in the sun... it could only mean one thing.
From the roadside the rainbow was mostly hidden behind trees, so I sent the droneybird up... Beautiful.

Favoured paths, dappled light, favoured trees. A stroll through the Black Woods of Rannoch Caledonian Forest reserve, a couple of sundays ago.

Beautiful day today burning more of the 1-acre of ponticum that we managed to clear. Gorgeous day , even though it was spent cleaning up after posh folk.

Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold

An amazing atmosphere - shades of green and white - distant Scots Pine trees standing majestic and tall through the thick morning mist billowing around - I think the distant slopes of Creag na Callich or Creag Fhearchair.

What do you do when you think that a kind gesture as a thank you is a bit over the top? Well, I planted trees and I felt a whole lot better for it:
