Moss and lichen special


Earlier this week, Gail and I went for a walk along the banks of the River Feugh near Finzean, about thirty miles inland from Aberdeen.


Did I ever mention that we have a damp climate here in Scotland...?

Happy Nature Friday friends. Once again thank you to our friends Jakey, Arty, Rosy and Sunny for hosting this blog hop. We love it!

WFT photography 101

It is important not to position your terrier in front of a splodge of similarly coloured lichen. No matter how fine and alert his stance.

That's a bit better.

To be honest, it hasn't so far been a great weekend for photography in Torridon, being mostly overcast and damp. This remnant rainbow picture does at least give you a realistic idea of the prevailing conditions. 

Oh yes, and this is the point on our Saturday walk when I decided I'd had enough of tramping around on a slippery mountain path in the sleet.

Thankfully my owner was of the same mind, and so we retreated to the warmth of the cottage where I allowed Gail to practice her Pilates balance work while simultaneously rubbing my belly with her loose foot and listening to the rugby on the radio (and of course taking a photo), thus displaying her hitherto well-concealed multi-tasking capabilities...

PS England 38: Scotland 38. This WFT says WTF !!!
