Picture Parade Four Hundred and Fifty-Five.

Just a beautiful photograph shared with you all from the Ugly Hedgehog photographic site.

Dog watching stormy evening in old inhabited “ghost” town.

I follow the website Ugly Hedgehog and within the last few days I saw this perfect photograph.

It was taken by ‘fantom’ and he says: “This was taken moments before a heavy rain storm. I think dog was responding to a lightning flash.“

It is a very different photograph to the normal Picture Parades but this was so attractive that it was the only way to go! And here’s a closeup of that photograph, or rather the dog!

Well I for one just loved all these photographs from today and last Sunday. They were taken on the Isle of Mull.

A very special treat! And for those that either haven’t seen the first set of photographs or want to be reminded of what Alex said, here are his words again.

Was very lucky to spot this Otter Family whilst on a guiding trip with Brian Boyes and Lisa Williams on the Isle of Mull, the Mum fed the young pups three fish, we watched from the road and then later using Brian’s advice, quietly settled into the rocks and watched the Mum come right past us, a fantastic encounter and these are only a few of the photos I got.

A complete change of photos but I guarantee you will love these!

My son, Alex, and his partner, Lisa, recently returned from a vacation on the Isle of Mull. This is a Scottish island lying off the west coast of the mainland. (Home for Alex and Lisa is just outside Bristol in the south-west of England.) Between them they took many photographs.

For the next two Sundays I want to share the photos that Alex took of the otters, eight today and seven next Sunday.

Here is the introduction that Alex wrote on Facebook.

Now just a heads up. Alex, my son, is arriving here at home next Tuesday, the 24th, and staying with us until the end of the month.

Plus this iMac is going in for some work, courtesy of Gizmo Tech here in Grants Pass. So see you all in the early part of June.
