An amber sunset over the Firth of Clyde

We were graced with an amber sunset tonight while the MV Argyle (Earra-Ghàidheal) was sailing to Wemyss Bay.

Pink sunset under clear blue skies

At the end of a day of wall to wall sunshine, the sun set with a band of lovely pink hues on the horizon beneath a dark blue sky.

Aurora over Wemyss Bay

With an amber aurora alert in place, I went out late evening to capture the northern lights over the Firth of Clyde. Not the most impressive, but I managed to capture a faint aurora.

Two crows in the sunset

While we were enjoying another cracking sunset with bright ambers on Friday night, I spotted two crows landing on one of our Scots pine trees.

When the sun dipped behind the horizon, the sunset turned into a blend of nice pastel colours.

An amazing fiery red sunset

Tonight’s sunset was absolutely stunning with fiery reds skies reflecting in the waters of the Firth of Clyde with the MV Argyle (Earra-Ghàidheal) sailing into the sunset en route to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute (Eilean Bhóid).

Sláinte! Friday night sunset with a vino tinto

There’s nothing better than relaxing with a vino tinto after a hard weeks work on a Friday night while watching the sun set.

A fiery red sunset after the rain

Not long after A rainy sunset, the rain cleared away to a spectacular fiery red sunset over the Firth of Clyde.

A squirrel on a Scots pine

A grey squirrel decided to take up a vantage point in one of our Scots pines.

What a view

Admiring the view with a coffee on the bench in front of our new home on beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Wow! What a sunset

Tonight’s sunset is simply stunning.

This is what makes living on the North Ayrshire coast so special.
