But what about ME!

To start with I was being patient when Gail insisted on taking loads of non-Bertie shots over in Torridon at the weekend...

It was all: "Oh Bertie, just look at trees glowing burnished gold in the late autumn light, the rainbow arching over the loch, the sprinkling of new snow topping the mountains, the handsome stag auditioning for a Landseer painting, oh and wow more rainbows ..."




...but enough is enough, frankly one can only put up with so much of this kind of thing, and I had to bounce over to remind her of the importance of 'foreground interest'...

Now this is more like it. 

[Gail and I did wonder if maybe we should be posting some photos of the less attractive corners of Scotland today, 'cos we heard that if a certain D.Trump loses a certain election on the other side of the Pond, then he is planning to spend more time in this country, and I'll be straight with you, we really don't want him here, ruining our glorious wild landscape with more of his hideous hotels and pesticide-drenched golf courses.]

P.S. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to contribute valuable data for my latest research project. I am currently analysing all the fascinating information provided, and will be presenting my Pee-hD thesis within the next two weeks.

P.P.S. Eight years ago, my wise predecessor Hamish the Westie posted this:  http://hamishthewestie.blogspot.co.uk/2008/11/trumped.html

  2. Those are beautiful photos, Bertie - Gail is an accomplished photographer. However, we must say that the last two, with your good self to the fore, are magnificent. Is that snow we see on the hill in the last one?

  3. The photos are gorgeous, but you would have added that touch of class, Bertie.

    Hopefully, the Scottish weather will not be to Trump's liking. Our newscasters, who are in the US said that they found the Trump souvenirs were discounted 50%.

    Ooooh Bertie lad, you know I's all agog, having just been up that way so recently. It surely can put on a show, regardless of climate - are pawhaps because of it! The scene is certainly enhanced by your presence though.

    Ugh, do we need to pawtishun the Scottish Govt to put an embargo on the Donald in order to Trump his plans of immigrating??!!! (why am I shuddering...... ) Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  10. Wow Bertie - those are such beautiful photos of Scotland. Of course the ones with you in them had a certain extra special look but we do love the rainbows. Nose licks and love from Moth xx

  11. Beautiful photos, Bertie!

    And don't worry, we don't like the Cheeto man...she's got our vote. I think he's been so awful that his hotels are hurting... so maybe he won't be building any more any time soon.

  18. I hope this finds you and yours doing well. May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.
