Returning from the community garden. Restful. Recharging. A present from one time resident, Anne Perry. Google her….. #portmahomack

Beach encounters. When Hilda met Cindy and Molly. #portmahomack

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside……. Everyone join in…….. #portmahomack #lifesabeach

A glorious evening on the Tarbat Peninsula. Warm, the slightest of breezes. Holiday makers still swimming in the see at 11.00pm after spending the whole day on the beach. Can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be. #portmahomack

The bunting is up! Can only mean one thing….it’s Gala Week soon!!! #galaweek #portmahomack

First sighting of the wonderfully ethereal, transient noctilucent cloud high in the stratosphere beyond the weather clouds that colour our days and nights. #noctilucentclouds #portmahomack

Last night’s pie in the sky. Illuminated by the midnight sun hiding just over the horizon, this is the leading edge of the weather front that is bringing today’s rain to the east coast. #thelongestdusk #portmahomack

Might be wet soon. #portmahomack

Last dog walk of the day. #portmahomack

Simmer dim. Midnight dog walk on the beach. Gentle. Magical. #summer #simmerdim #portmahomack

3 shots of a cloud band receding into the distance over the Dornoch Firth as I walk from our house to the beach. The sky takes my breath away most nights. #sunset #portmahomack

2 yachts at anchor in the bay tonight. Flat calm, sleep well. #boatlife #portmahomack

Trip. Light fantastic. #portmahomack

The sun setting behind the Sutherland hills. #portmahomack

Ever hopeful, Rosie the village cat taking advantage of Lionel’s kind heart. #eatfishlivelonger #fishvantuesdays #portmahomack

Heave ho and off we go. #coastalrowing #skiff #portmahomack

Nearly midnight. The harbour’s port and starboard navigation lights caught in one shot. Oh, and the last remnants of the sun as it tracks east, just over the horizon. #farnorth #portmahomack

Cold and blustery and beautiful. #portmahomack #sunset

Tide’s out. Lights are on. Dog is walked. #beachlife #portmahomack

Not very clear to the naked eye but once you recognise its presence, its power is intoxicating. A privilege to witness. #aurora #portmahomack
