We’re over on Lismore for a long weekend with friends and staying in Port Ramsay, looking out over the Lynn of Lorne. This is last night’s sunset.

Evening light on the lilypads
Close to home, but hard to access, this pool on the river provided the perfect palette for the setting sun.
Corryvreckan sunset
Tonight’s sunset from Loch Beag on the Craignish peninsula, looking out over the Corryvreckan, which is the sound between the islands of Jura (to the left) and Scarba (to the right).
Something peaceful for Sunday evening
A June sunset over the Sound of Jura, looking towards the distant hills of the Isle of Mull. There’s a wee bit of Scarba to the left, and the other island in the middle-distance is mostly Lunga.
Summer sunset birds
Cropped from another shot taken from Kiloran Bay on the Isle of Colonsay one fine summer evening a few years ago, two birds intrude upon the setting sun.
Spring is here, can summer be so far away?
The few recent dry and sunny days raise my spirits and remind me that summer can’t be too far away. Here’s a reminder of what Argyll can be like in the middle of the summer – the scene is sunset at Kiloran Bay on the Isle of Colonsay.

Four-tenths of the horizon, counting from the left, is the Isle of Islay; the remainder is the Isle of Jura.

Paps of Jura at sunset
I love the relatively-unsaturated colours in this. Taken from the Thomas Telford slipway at Keils where yesterday’s sunset shot was taken from.
Sunset from Keils
Sunset from Keils
I took the afternoon off today to take our visiting Aussie granddaughter out when it wasn’t raining. We made it down to Keils just as the sun was setting over the Isle of Islay. The Paps of Jura are visible just right of centre.
This is one of the reasons I love living on the west coast of Scotland – there is something magical about watching the sun set in the west over islands.
