Hmm, here's another photo from Sunday.

I know this is a something and nothing scene... but I love a view. A wee cottage below in the foreground, reflections in the loch, and boggy glen backed by the rough hillside beyond.

And for a while this view was all mine. No-one else around. The silence only broken by a trickling burn... Look deep into the photo, do you see it? Just a little solace away from the world if only for a few moments.

A scene of brown heather, grasses and moss covering a rolling landscape. There's the top of a white painted cottage in the foreground overlooking a glen and Loch a' Bhraoin. Rising beyond is a steep, rough hillside. Its still waiting for the spring.

Yesterday (Sunday) we had a stroll to the estate bothy at Lochivraon. I did contemplate heading up Creag Rainich but didn't. I really didn't fancy one popular walking site's route which suggests a long pathless climb across bog, ankle breaking tussocks and other unpleasantness to the ridgeline. I found a better path up from the bothy for next time.

Skye on the gravel track to Loch a' Bhraoin. Alongside the track the ground is a peat bog with standing water. In the distance is the loch backed by rolling hills.
Skye sitting next to the track alongside Loch a' Bhraoin. The surrounding rolling landscape is brown heather and tussocky grasses still asleep from the winter.
Skye leading the way on the track alongside Loch a' Bhraoin. The hills beyond the loch are reflected in the still water. All under a grey sky.
Skye probably staring at beasties somewhere on the boggy moorland just below us. In the background is the estate bothy cottage of Lochivraon and boggy moorland.
