The light at the forested area around Loch Ine was subdued and the sun was missing from this lovely scene but that did not take away from the beauty of our walk. Across the lake we saw the early morning swimmers, a group of women who swim there right through the winter. I did not touch up my photos, the colour of the water here in this photo is really how we saw it, how it was. And it was beautiful and special, I think that it was a trick of the light.
My daughter Tjorven had invited me to go on one of her morning walks and I am so glad that I accepted, we had some great mother – daughter chats, lightly as we are both wanting to use time in nature cheerfully during this frustrating time of covid.
Bare gnarled branches, looking like some rheumatic old creatures, line the lovely country lane.
The lake, which by the way is a salt water lake, narrows into a creek just along here and the water was like a mirror just then.
We saw catkins growing on the hazel tree, some different species of ferns, many of them, fungi and one lone snowberry.
Ebony the collie came with us and was off the lead for a little while, a very obedient young dog she is.
Our surroundings are so beautiful, it is good to enjoy them as much as we can.

Not touching up our photographs is the best way of recording how the day really is

I agree Derrick, the most I ever do is cut them here and there to bring up something closer or cut something off.

Thank you Agnes, I just love your photos and observations. It must be hard work putting them together but well worth it for us to see and read about where you live and what you see.

Thank you Colin, I love what I do but most time consuming is putting everyone of the photos through GIMP in order to reduce the kb, still like you say it is well worth it. Thank you for your kind comment.
