Boxing Day walk.

Firstly, I hope you all had a great Christmas & that you were all good enough to allow Santa to deliver all your hoped for presents. I must have been so good, because I got more than I could have ever wished for.

I had posted on the blog 3 or4 days before Christmas, but for some strange reason it has not been published, I can still see it on my admin site, but just did not go out to you all for some reason. It had nothing rude, pornographic or political in it, so not sure why ?????

Anyway, lets hope this one goes out okay. I think we have had the mildest two days of Christmas since we have been up here, yesterday we were out walking while the turkey cooked & it was 12C. Overnight the temperature did just go below zero & therefore we had some fresh sprinkling of snow on the high tops. On this mornings walk (just under 5 miles today) the wind made it colder than it was but the thermometer showed 4C, which made for a brisk walk.

With a slither of sunlight going up the glen it was a good light to show off the trees, as I hope you can see from the first two shots. As for the third I just had to grab that one. I had my big lens on & the cow was a fair distance away from us & it seemed like the cow was just looking at that beautiful scenery and saying “all this lovely grass is all mine & that snow can stay up on the hills so I can chew away without searching through snow for my grass”. Well that is what I would be thinking.

When we reached Loch Moraig, there was just two cars in the parking spot, some brave souls up climbing the two Munroes for a Christmas treat, rather them than me, I will stick to the road, that is steep enough for me these days.
