Flying to the Moon

After several fiery-red sunrises over the last few days, today, on the one morning we were up early enough to catch it, dawned grey. This was the view from the bridge across the Dornoch Firth where we stopped for a few minutes as we were early for our dental appointments in Tain. However, Fate did smile on us as....

....a small skein of six geese chose the moment to fly to within touching distance of this month's waning moon. They did well but not as well as....

....the young Ardnamurchan sea eagle which soared round and round in front of a similar moon, for long enough to be quite sure I had a good shot of him.

It's one of the joys of carrying a camera everywhere, that one does get the occasional chance of a slightly unusual picture.
