    Three seasons in the Highlands

    A bit of a test run with my new camera and seeing if I can remember how the system works!. The spring and summer ones I did not actually press the shutter on, as I was elsewhere at the time.These pictures are views that I see regularly, when it is not raining!I hope you enjoy them.

    Late spring.



    Mid summer. Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain.

    Truly wonderful. Hard to say one season's more beautiful than another... but those early Autumn pics are heart-breakingly beautiful.
