Beauties Dragonfly. I had hoped to get down there last weekend but was warned away by locals due to the road conditions. I presume the roads are good now?

Super road for seeing deer and you certainly didnt disappoint with your photos. :):)

road is pefect Kas, wee bit of ice when you turn onto the Strath but after that it gets better all the way down, there's nothing in Helmsdale

Anji, they just turn and look at you and as long as you don't make a noise or move rashly they stay long enough for a snap or two

Not as many deer on the Strath road as last time but loads just past Garvault

mmmm a bit too long in the tooth now Liz, if it had been even 10 years ago I might have seriously thought about doing a course and starting up, not got the confidence to do people only landscapes...........and dogs of course :Razz

Nonsense!!!! It is never too late.

You have a real talent for photography and even if you stay with landscapes and animals that would be fine.
