Had a lovely afternoon with @chloevalerieart yesterday sketching and painting for #sketchacrosstheworld Here’s a little scene that was inspired by my time in the Cairngorms last month, where I would often hear wrens singing in the bushes and sometimes catch a glimpse of a dipper zooming along the river. I love sketching but rarely get round to actually doing it, so it was lovely to meet up with a friend and dedicate some quality time to art this weekend 🎨 . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #beautifuldestinations #UK #exploretocreate #sketching #painting #art #wildlifeart #dipper #wren #birds #river #memory #scotland #highlands #landscape #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #earthpics #roamtheplanet #wildlife

Last Thursday, Loch Garten was as still as a mirror - a perfect reflection of the trees and hills. It could easily have been the setting for an elaborate fantasy story, and while I stood on the bank absorbing the view I couldn’t help but imagine dragons flying in the distance. While I didn’t spot any dragons that time, I did see two golden eagles so was far from disappointed 🦅 . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #beautifuldestinations #UK #exploretocreate #cairngorms #scotland #lochgarten #reflection #blue #green #forest #woodland #loch #water #highlands #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife

I went into the hide fully prepared that all I might see would be wood mice, perhaps nothing at all. But less than three hours later I was nose to nose with a beautiful female pine marten. I couldn’t help feeling like I’d seen a unicorn; while pine martens are quite common in the Highlands, chances of ever seeing this nocturnal and elusive mustelid are low. So to get views like this on my first attempt was a dream come true! . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #beautifuldestinations #UK #scotland #highlands #cairngorms #pinemarten #mustelid #nocturnal #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife
