I’ve enjoyed photographing the rare native aspen this year. They are often vibrant yellow in early autumn, although this tree transitioned through a beautiful mix of colours. #populustremula #aspen #scotland

Blue Wash, 2022. Nature’s watercolours.

Sometimes, you find a scene that makes you grin! The pop of yellow colour from the birches, the wisps of lingering mist, the texture in the bark of the pines. www.AndyMacD.co.uk #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #Autumn #fineart #Scotland #nature #Woodland #trees #loch #lake #mist

Found an old photo of one of my favourite mushroom sightings - a magpie inkcap :) Haven’t seen any this year (or since); this was taken in a nearby woodland on this day in 2017. #mushrooms

Light explosion from Norway….

Early morning atmosphere in Scotland’s Caledonian forest. Missing is the sound of the flowing river and birdsong, along with the earthy woodland smell. #scotland #highlands #naturephotography #mist

One of my favourite photos from my recent book Fleeting Reflections II The photo is a reflection of a building in water. All done in camera using multiple exposures - no Photoshop or AI

I’m excited to have come first place in the Woodlands category in the @natural-landscapes.bsky.social awards with this photo ‘Remnant of time’. It was taken on an exceptionally cold morning with a thick frost encrusting the Caledonian forest. Congrats to other winners, organisers and judges. #nlpa

A fine late summer’s morning in the Caledonian forest. The heather was looking amazing but the fog got in the way! #scotland #treephotography #naturephotography

Disorder in the Caledonian forest. Young aspen trees and a birch holding onto its leaves in late Autumn. #scotland #naturephotography #mist #landscape

Morning fog in the Caledonian forest back in January. #caledonianforest #naturephotography #landscapephotography #scotland

The Scottish biting midge can make mornings like this miserable. A headnet for me is the single most useful accessory at this time of year #midges #bitingmidge #scottishhighlands

A couple of shapely Scots pine gracing the landscape in the Caledonian forest, Scottish Highlands #scotspine #scotland #naturephotography

A few more butterflies from earlier in the week. Must have been over 200 in a few square metres, and 6 species in total. I’ve never seen anything like it outwith a butterfly house! ID in alt text #nature #butterfly #butterflies #scotland

Butterflies everywhere yesterday! #butterfly

A stormy day on the south coast. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A macro image of the shedding phase of a mature Manzanita tree. If you look closely on the upper right portion you can see an ant wedging herself between the bark.

Nature feels like it is in fast forward this year. The rowan berries are on the local trees already (although some didn’t flower after last year’s spectacle). This is from the dying embers of Autumn 2024 when the leaves subsided to expose the structure of the woodland, and the abundant lichen.

Ancient oak at the edge of a narrow gorge in a small fragment of Scotland’s Atlantic rainforest. It was a haven for wildlife, with a heron and a roe deer on my arrival, neither of which I was fast enough to capture! . . . #scotland #atlanticrainforest #naturephotography #quercus #oaktree

Scots pine through the haze in a fragment of Scotlands ancient Caledonian forest #scotland #naturephotography

Rugged beauty of Lewisian gneiss on the west coast of Scotland last week. #scotland #landscapephotography

Enigma… Abstract patterns captured from above while flying along the shore of Burdur lake in Turkey, with the drone. Unbelievable harmony of textures & colors shaped by Mother Nature. #photography #nature #landscape #art

A defiant pine shaped by the elements at the upper limits of the Caledonian forest, likely at the edge of the krummholz zone. #scotland #naturephotography #krummholz #landscapephotography #scotspine #fog

Sometimes the waterfall I end up liking best isn’t even the one I set out to shoot. Happy #waterfallwednesday, everyone. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #connecticut #waterfall

Another hot pool at Hveravellir, #Iceland taken with the #DJIMavic3Pro drone. Looks a bit like tears falling...

An ephemeral moment in the Caledonian forest a wee while back. The foreground clouds were racing across catching the morning light as they passed. . . #scotland #caledonianforest #fog #landscape #naturephotography

Found some old oak trees around Inverness today, but quite a lot of invasive rhododendron. #nature #naturephotography #scotland

#glosbirds #UKbirding Crossbill New Fancy view, Forest of Dean.

Prehistoric Dispersing fog amongst ancient Scots pines. I have only known these trees for a few years, and to my eye they appear almost identical. I wonder how they would have looked at the time of the moon landing in 1969, or when my great grandparents were born. #landscape #scotland #nature

A fascinating birch trunk found whilst exploring the Caledonian forest. It was hollowed out, mobile, and felt like it had very little weight to it. An interesting selection of mosses and lichen taking advantage. I think maybe Cladonia and ochrolechia? #scotland #birch #lichen #moss

When the mist starts to break in the Caledonian forest. The photos never quite live up to the magic of the moment. Winter 2025. #scotland #scotspine #naturephotography #landscapephotography

A shapely boulder, possibly an erratic, on the Isle of Harris in early spring. The view was gneiss. #scotland #landscapephotography #gneiss #highlands

Sunshine, rainbows and strong winds. It felt quite exposed in the tent but great views over expansive vegetation to wake up to. May 2023 #naturephotography #highlands #scotland #nativewoodland #landscape

Kingdom of fog

Mist forming after sunset. It was a near full moon which was perfect for a bit of late night shooting. #scotland #moonlight #landscapephotography #nightphotography

Some lovely light at Neist Point last night.

“Brujo”, Utah 2025

One I have not shared before from last Summer. Photography has made me a morning person (of sorts). The light made it worthwhile on this occasion. #caledonianforest #scotspine #landscapephotography #nature

Expectation was low photography-wise, due to the forecast for nothing but blue skies. But who could pass up the opportunity to sleep on a mountain in calm conditions? Turned out better than expected 😄 #MountainPhotography #Landscapes #Photography #ShareMondays2025

A small section of birch woodland in Sutherland on Friday. The light was glorious, but the midges are back! #scotland #birchwoodland #highlands #naturephotography

This morning, at sunrise, in a Worcestershire woodland, taking in the sight and smell of the bluebells and the wild garlic 😍

A beauty from Dylan

A lone Scots pine stealing the show in Scotland’s Caledonian forest. #treephotography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #woodland

A rare black and white photo from me, again of Scotland’s Caledonian forest. I think it works quite well? #scotland #monochrome #fog #naturephotography #highlands

A morning full of atmosphere in the Caledonian forest. I vividly remember the warm sunlit cloud cross in front of the pines. #scotland #nature #naturephotography #treescape

I would love to see the landscape in Scotland looking a bit more like this. A skyline of Scots pine of all shapes and sizes and Caledonian forest into the distance. #scotland #caledonianforest #nature #landscapephotography #woodland
