This is the selection from our April photo gallery.

As spring is not quite "in the air" the birds are still busy feeding at the peanut feeder in the garden and the red squirrel is also looking for food at the bird table. My other selections this month show Fort Augustus and the Caledonian Canal at Kytera Lock as well as an ancient Caledonian pine and the Plodda falls, near Glen Affric.

This is the selection from our March photo gallery.

As we are promoting the wonderful wild primroses which will be everywhere soon, I thought I would continue with a flower theme for this months photo gallery and show you the range of wild flowers which can be seen at this time of year.

This is the selection from our February photo gallery.

At last - snow has arrived at Loch level!!

We have enjoyed the most fabulous start to October with wonderful still and sunny days highlighting the beautiful colours of Autumn. All these photographs were taken at Inverfarigaig and show the breathtaking scenery of Loch Ness on a completely still day with perfect reflections on the Loch.

This is the selection from our September photo gallery.

These are some of the Catamarans competing in the Loch Ness Monster Catamaran race
 

The heather is now in full bloom across the hillsides, the bracken is turning to wonderful shades of golden brown, the hawthorn berries are a beautiful deep blue and the brambles are changing from red to shiny black - all signs that autumn is almost here
 

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 Evergreen. 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.	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

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 Evergreen

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. The theme this month shows a selection of the Lochs - both big and small around the area
