View from a top-floor window of Inverness College's Longman campus, over the industrial estate to the Black Isle and beyond, with the Kessock bridge in there too. No chance of a wander today.

After a weekend of taking hundreds of ultra narrow angled telephoto photos, something different was required - ultra-wide and distorted. Fisheye lens fun. And it always is fun. Mad even. On a beautiful day like today, this lens doesn't half have contrasty results. This was after trying to reign-in the results in a bit. That grass isn't that dark in reality.

I'll miss the view when we shift to the new campus.

Springwatch - first of the Bluebells were open on the way home, and heard my first Grasshopper Warbler calling. Very close to home too.

One other sign of Spring that very, very rarely appears before May – the Skinny Lesser Spotted Hairy White Shanks. Yea, the cycling shorts saw their first outing of the year. So don the sunglasses, as boy are those legs white.

Have missed a few swimming sessions of late, so it was good to make it along tonight. Shopping after, and cleared lots of glass from the kessock bridge on the cycle/saunter way home. They were doing preparatory work for laying tar to the Black Isle approach to the Kessock Bridge this evening.
