Tuesday the 19th of November
A call of nature had me up at 4 am and as I looked out the window I could see it was snowing.
Back to bed till 8 am, then up to take a few early pictures.
The moon was still quite high in the sky.
It was worth a couple of zoom ins
The roads were quite slippy.
Since there was hardly a cloud in the sky, and the forecast for Wednesday was a wet one, I decided today I should go out and take a few more pictures. Just a pair of trainers on, I'm not planning on walking far.
A few things to snap in Doonhill woods
Over and above Douglas Ewart High School, I can see over to Larg and Lamachan hills. Looks to be quite a bit of snow up there !
Over towards the golf course there's Craignelder and Cairnsmore
Between them is Curleywee, Millfore and Drigmorn
It's a really bright morning so my camera is kept busy.
Bottom left above looked a good candidate for a macro, next picture.
I think it came out well.
The steeple of the Newton Stewart Museum
Creebridge and the weir
It's a colourful walk along the riverside
What is it with birds and snow ?
I always seem to get more bird pictures after a snow fall.
Machermore Castle across the river.
So I've only got trainers on and if I go up the hill my feet will get wet.
Well, I'm not far from home. This is looking towards Blackcraig.
The view south-east to Creetown
I'm heading up to the mobile mast above Barrhill Farm.
Newton Stewart-Gateway to the Galloway Hills
On a number of my older posts my panoramas have gone due to defunct websites.
Nowadays I'm uploading them to Dermander
Another view of Curleywee, Millfore and Drigmorn.
Bottom, right of centre is the Kirroughtree House Hotel
On the descent I'm taking a couple of macro shots
Now, what's this ?
I'm a cheat, I turned them upside down. They are as you can see, drops of water hanging from a gate.
Should this still be flowering in November ?
Barbuchany is below me.
Back down and my feet are frozen and wet. I'm thankful for the hard surface to try and get some feeling back in my feet.
My last picture is the view from the bridge above the Post Office which is where the railway station was.
What a great view returning natives would have had.
I enjoyed my walk today.
