This is a selection from our January photo gallery.

The first of my photos show some of the scenes from the Island of Skye and the following photos are of the lochs in the area which we refer to in our newsletter.

This is the selection from our August photo gallery. This month I have followed one of the waymarked trails in Farigaig Forest which you can access from Hazelgrove. There are a great variety of paths, some narrow and some wide enough for a vehicle - all of which are easy to follow. This particular route takes about an hour and a quarter.

Starting from the bottom of Evergreen drive, next door to Hazelgrove	Foxgloves	The path narrows with ferns on either side	A mass of rocks by the side of the track covered in moss
A straight well defined part of the path	A red squirrel	The path is now bordered by heather	One of the green markers to keep you on track
This lovely little purple flower was growing on the track.	The track is now wider with trees on either side	Lochan Tor an Tuill	Relax beside Lochan Tor and Tuill
The magnificent view of Dun Dearduill - well worth the climb	Looking out over Loch Ness towards Urquhart Castle	A wonderful selection of ferns, heathers and blaeberries on either side of the track	Going down hill amongst the trees
A great specimen of the fly agaric fungus - unfortunately it is very poisonous	Almost home!	The last steep section down to the car park	Enjoy a welcome rest before the last few hunderd metres back to Hazelgrove.

This is the selection from our July photo gallery. This Great Spotted Woodpecker has become a regular visitor to our garden over the last couple of weeks.

The summer flowers are everywhere at the moment - both on the water and on the land! Bog Cotton covers the moorland area close to Suidhe Chuimen viewpoint and the water lilies are beautiful on Loch Bran and Lochan Tor an Tuill. Loch Bran was studied by children from the local primary school at Foyers over a 3 year period and the display boards give visitors information on what you can see throughout the seasons.

This is the selection from our June photo gallery. My theme this month shows a selection of the Lochs - both big and small around the area
