AUCHTERARDER

It was a treat to head north-east this past weekend to a friend's home to be pampered in rural Perthshire. After days and heavy rain the autumn colours were showing their best in the sunshine.

Taking an early Sunday morning stroll after a pleasant evening of good food, wine and chat I enjoyed wandering around the garden catching the light on plants, fruit and berries. The aspect is south-facing with Gleneagles Golf course is out of view to the right (west).

The following 3 photos are Pure and Unadulterated, i.e. As Is for light and colour (e.g. the sky!)




The view looking north on to the fields... wonderfully rich soil; rolling farmland as far as the eye can see. Always present are birds, flocks of them swooping over the fields.

Finally, Auchterder is where the 4 x 4 country vehicle comes out and the Lamborghini is kept in the garage ... and sure enough one passed me. (The fence above is just out of the picture on the left.)
