New additiions

We have two new additions to the family, Teddy the black cat and Tinker the tabby, both have settled well.

Lots of frogs around at the moment

Both have been adopted from someone who is leaving Shetland soon. They are both house cats, something we were looking for, too many cats are killed up here on the roads


I love Shetland for the variety of buildings, a good mixture of new and old.  This hut was down at Gulberwick standing alone in a field



Lovely boat bench at Hillswick



Clouds over Toab in south mainland

Its been a weekend of storms, with Force 10 winds hitting the islands. The Ferry set off 4 hours early on Friday and by teatime the winds had become very strong. We set off for a meal at 7pm and was hit by frequent hail storms and very strong winds.

Lots of great clouds in Shetland

after rain the reflections are always great to see in Lerwick

This bod, at Nesbister, is £10 a night and is due to be refurbished in next few weeks

Scatness moody sea


Hope you are enjoying the Shetland BBC1 drama, I think this is a good one. 

Down at Scatness the other day, a good place to go for stormy seas and trying out a new full ND Filter which allows slow exposures


Lots of good birds have visited Shetland in the past few weeks, including the Tengmalm's Owl see more at shetlandsfp.blogspot.co.uk
