#FromMyWalk today: snow melting on a gorse bush.
Rain showers coming round the hill, herb-cinnamon smell of the undergrowth after the thaw--red kite sailing quietly overhead.

White snow on spiky dark green bush, translucent and clear at the edges.

#FromMyWalk today: frost flowers bursting from thistle stems, and the winter sun skyscape pressing down on my head. No snow here, yet. Feels odd to be back walking solo round and round my tiny circuit...still there is much to see!
#Photography #Diary #walk1000miles #Scotland
A close up photo of a vertical stem, which has been burst from inside by white ice. Tiny white yellow sun in a grey sky, brightness in the small gap between cloud line and silhouette of gentle slope and vegetation.

#FromMyWalk s this week: weeping cat; waiting heron; stunted Scot's pine; shining yellow leaf. Town, river, woodland. Keep moving. Keep seeing...
#Photography #Diary #Scotland #walk1000miles
Photograph of graffiti - a cat like head with weeping red eyes, and a grill like mouth with 'haha' written across it. Black hands and arms. Various other words and symbols. Dirty white wall, dirty yellow kerb. A grey and white bird with a sharp beak, standing on one long grey leg on a river bank. A stunted pine tree with some bare branches, underneath are yellowed bramble leaves and bracken. One long, bright yellow leaf on the ground, it shines out amongst brown the other russet, brown and orange leaves.

A painting in a dark brown frame of a person with their hand over their forehead. The front of a grand building with six columns at the front, over the columns a blue neon sign reads, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT Looking up at a black spider on a white wall, its shadow makes an interesting shape underneath it. A black and white photograph of a young man wearing a leather jacket, his dark hair curls down over his forehead and he has a lit cigarette in his mouth.

#FromMyWalk today: up the fields after sunset. Two hares, I felt the reverberations of their feet through the ground before I saw them, they were so big at first I thought they were dogs.
#Photography #diary #walk1000miles #Scotland
A landscape photo after sunset with just a band of gold behind the hills. Closest to the viewer the land is black, it lightens with each layer of distance. A hill in the mid distance has a tower on it, a tiny dark line in the photo. Grey blue cloud is pressing down on the top of the furthest hill.

#FromMyWalk today: a favourite tree. Broken yet still beautiful. Shriek of a jay in the broken wood that floods, in concert with the brakes of a pack of cyclists meeting a lorry at a bend on the road.
#photography #Diary #walk1000miles #Scotland
A rowan tree with red, green, russet foliage, one of its boughs on the right is broken and lying on stone dyke. Sheep in green fields behind. Beyond, on the purple hill a pylon is visible.

#FromMyWalk today: the path; the crying eye of a fallen tree.

Potholes

#FromMyWalk today: a big stone, hidden in broken woods, near the top of a hill in Scotland. A brief glimpse of red deer through the trees. Yellow birch leaves fell, making the sound of rain on the path back.
#Photography #Diary #walk1000miles #Scotland
A big stone, covered in moss and pine needles, in a wood. The trees behind it are planted so close together that their branches are broken. The light is odd, green grey. The ground is soft, carpeted by moss and pine needles.

#FromMyWalk today: frozen in the undergrowth. Slowly, out along the river side path that crackles with shed acorns. Hills purple blue in the distance. A heron shrieking along the waterway.
