Brown and purple near hills, with a snow covered range range with two tors on the skyline.
A grey stone building with a double door with two windows it. There is lichen on the slate roof, blue sky above and Scots pine trees surround it.
#FromMyWalk yesterday: from Crathie, up out of the trees in the blustery wind and bright sunshine. Stunning views of Lochnagar. Lunch out of the wind at the Gelder Bothy. Views out to Ben Avon and perhaps even a golden eagle. Fab!

A landscape, the foreground is bright green grass fields, then dark of a stand of spruce trees, further away the blue of a hill clad hill, and on the horizon the rounded peak of a hill, pale. Layers of grey in the sky.

A field of green grass in the foreground, mid image darker vegetation and silhouettes of tops of trees, the suggestion of a paler patch on the horizon, with grey overcast pressing down.
Raggedy red flowers on a tree.

Landscape, skyscape in blue greys, in foreground the tops of pine trees, in mid distance the long blue shape of a plantation wood, horizon part of a hill, pale grey with cloud layered down on its top. Dark grey blue mass of cloud pushing down from sky.

I am not giving up.

A landscape photo of a dirty-buff coloured stubble field with an oval disc of silver water at the bottom, a hawthorn tree and a Scots pine, and then beyond a stand of rickety spruce and ragged broken wood. The sky is grey.

A grey land and sky scape - in the foreground a band of deep aubergine coloured trees, then in the distance some Scots pines. Sky above grey and near the top centre of the image some tiny black dots - a flock of birds of some kind.
#FromMyWalk today: it looked and sounded vile out, but once I got going, it wasn't quite so bad...

A sunset-scape with the silhouette of a line ragged line of pine trees, dark against the gold and brown of the clouds and sky.
#FromMyWalk: sunset behind the broken wood. Later than usual, dark before I'd finished. Marching out of that avalanche of 'NO' that's been falling on my head. Blackbirds in the undergrowth to you all 🖤

A deer with its head down grazing, the sun is bright on the green grass, in the foreground buff coloured stubble and beyond a fence, grey tree trunks, and the dark of a wood.
A bird of prey flying away from the viewer, in bright blue sky. On the right finger like feathers at the edge of its wing, on the left the underside shows, black, brown, white.
A patch of snow, partly in the sun, where it is in shadow is blue, shadows of old stalks of plants run across it diagonally vertically, grass patches show through.
#FromMyWalk today: deer grazing the green edge of the stubble field where it always floods; red kite flying away - look at those wings! ; snow patch sparkle-melting in the sun.

Landscape with trees in the foreground and a blue hill with white snow patches on the horizon, above the black silhouette of a bird, and grey blue cloud.

Three old stems coming up through the snow, green grass showing around them.
Fields with snow lingering, stubble and green grass, the edge of a wood plantation, in the distance a pale hill with snow and trees on it. Grey sky.

A snowy, blue and white photograph of trees and woodland and a path leading up between two hills.
A path walked into a blanket of snow.
Tracks leading up to a flock of sheep, they look yellow against the new white snow. Shadows of trees across the foreground of the photo are blue. The sky is pale blue, trees in the distance deep green and aubergine in colour.
#FromMyWalk today: Looking out at the hill, the path, the sheep. More snow wandering, more snow falling, more snow forecast.
