The bloomin' heather....

AT LAST I'm back home (although it won't be for long as we'll be off to France very shortly.)

To celebrate all good things I took myself off for a walk in Glen Muick. The heather was beautiful, purple and lovely, and the green was all very green and luscious....

I walked through the puddles and wet peat, clambered through the waterfall, and eventually arrived with a little panting at the Dubh Loch. Just about the same time as the rain returned in force! I had planned to eat my sandwiches by the Loch but it was just too wet so I headed back and as I descended the rain eased a little so they were consumed hurriedly beside the path.

A pair of hunting buzzards overhead, some deer quietly feeding down by the river and the constant noise of falling water then I was soon back at the carpark.

But with a smile.
