Fresh snow on the Campsies

We headed out for a forest walk in Killearn Glen and a coffee and cake at the Kitchen Window, but changed our minds when driving past the Glengoyne Distillery when we saw the fresh snow that had fallen on the Campsies overnight.

We drove to Gartness for a walk along the track on the high West bank of the River Endrick to admire the views across to the hills above the meandering river. The light was wonderful.

And we topped of the day with a coffee and a scone with cream and jam at Oakwood Garden Centre on the way home.

Great wee wander up the hills.

Nice to bump into Stevi who was also on a photography wander up the hills.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

A wander along the shores of Loch Lomond from Milarrochy Bay on a dreich Sunday afternoon early July did not promise much in terms of photography.

While we were drinking a coffee in the car after our walk, the weather finally cleared a little, with ominous rain clouds remaining over the Loss Hills on the other side of the loch, finally providing an opportunity for some photography.

I just love this moody photograph that will most likely be in the shortlist for my best picture of the year. Not to mention that I am pretty chuffed with The Herald choosing it for the Picture of the Day on 29th July 2022, albeit cropped heavily to fit in with the paper’s format.
