Another walk round the farm
Hi all, Seeing as it was a beautiful sunny day yesterday I thought Id take a wander round the farm, come with me if you like.
Jess, of course came too then the farm cat decided to join us.
The grass is now long enough to get cut for silage.
Went a bit arty as I thought the patterns were interesting.
Its lovely seeing the landscape change colour.
We were followed down the road by squabbling greenfinches.
This is one of the boys, minus his coat
Had a quick look round the glen and spotted a young fox, unfortunately I didnt manage to get a photo and luckily the dog did not notice it.
Time to head back up the road
Jess caught a scent of something in the barley field, think its getting a bit high for her. ( she didnt catch anything)
Ben Ledi looks stunning with the sun on it.
Some ladies showing the new summer look
Finally, some shots through my window.
This was the first time Id seen the young starlings.
Hope you enjoyed your walk,Liz

Brilliant blog, wonderful shots of your wee sun blessed walk, can't pick a favourite shot they are all beautiful. Do you plan to enter the Countryfile comp. If not you should you are in the perfect spot to capture "A Moment of Magic"
Many years ago climbed Ben Ledi when on a school trip, as we neared the sumit a veil of "Scots Mist" came down and we had to wait till it lifted before we moved down the mountain.
Thanks for sharing

Smashing blog, I was there with you every step of the way. Especially lovely pics of the birds. Jess could have escorted my two little girls, Twizzle and Mrs Miggins. Thank you for sharing the experience.

Oh Lizzie, what a magical place you live! It's almost as pretty as Wales! Love Jess in the long grass and the 'arty' picture is quite something. Your photography is improving really quickly. I love your blogs, keep them coming, never be afraid to show off your talents.
Well done that girl!

Wonderful photoblog Liz. Must be lovely and refreshing to live in the countryside and wake up to see such beautiful scenery...(even though it must be hard work) Thanks for sharing. I know how much effort goes into compiling as I have just posted my first photoblog on Etruria Canal(which is local to me) See you for a drink in Bar None soon. Alison.

What a great blog Liz. Photo wise, the dog in the barley wins it for me!!! A great opportunist shot.
As Jen said, very envious of your location, very well done

Great blog Liz, lovely farm and countryside, lucky you!! Though I imagine it's hard work!! Great photos of the birds and animals, I especially like the one of Jess's tail sticking out from the grass.
Well done.

A superb blog Liz, so interesting and such wonderful photos. It must be so lovely to live in a place like that. Hard work though I guess sometimes. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos with us. Pam
I have just googled Ben Ledi to discover you are in Scotland, fabulous place, no wonder your photos are so brilliant. I am off to Scotland in September, nr Sterling. I will, hopefully get some wonderful photos there.

Liz LOL the cheek of that Welsh Jen saying in a comment in your blog saying the land around your farm is allmost as pretty as Wales, the highlands of Scotland is far superior to Wales,i think that i will deduct some stars of her next entry for her cheek lol,and i have got to agree with her on your brilliant blog thank you for posting and allowing us to share it with you.

I really enjoyed your photoblog. The pictures are all beautiful, especially the birds, lambs, arty grass and of course the 'tail'. You live is the best part of Scotland, between Loch Lomond and Stirling. Looking forward to your next blog. Take care.

Terrific blog Liz with some great pictures. I bet the sheep are glad they've had a haircut with the nice weather you are having. Don't use it all up though, I'd like a bit of sunshine in October when I next get up to Killin.

Really lovely shots, you are capturing the spirit of the countryside. I know it must be a lot of work, but how lucky you are to have such beauty around you to photograph. My favourite is the long view of the grass cutting tractor. V pleasing graphic composition
Send us more please!
Thank you
