Scenic Sunday

...
Last Sunday hubby and I took brother-in-law for a drive. It was cloudy, but it never rained. In fact, it was surprisingly warm and a really pleasant day. :-)

I was able to take some really nice photos at all the places we stopped along the way. We started off from Inverness, heading out along the Moray Firth towards Beauly, then on around to Drumnadrochit and Loch Ness before heading back home.

This first photo was taken from a parking lay by, looking back along the Beauly River. (for a much bigger view just click on the photo.

The flowers were such a wonderful colour...

Further along stopped at the edge of a field for a picnic lunch. I saw these "dots" up against the fence and went to look at them.

They were tiny white flowers!

On the way home we stopped at a plant nursery, up on the hills near Inverness, for a cup of tea. The view was just stunning!

Although these horses looked a bit bored by it all. :-)

I took four photos (in the front parking) to create a "panorama view. You'll need to click on this to open it to full size.

The nursery had a lovely shop full of gifts and goodies. Outside the old farm steading has been turned into a plant nursery. I saw these amazing metallic flowers there. They were so pretty. No idea what they are.

We all agreed that it really was a great day out and about. :-)
