A cold outlook

After the return of a chesty cough, I'd resolved to keep warm and stay out of the cold this week.

Yesterday Monday 21st January 2013 the falling snow tempted me to break that resolution, get my wellington boots on and head for Knockman Wood.

It snowed all the while I walked.

Heading uphill, the trees looked beautiful

The Lonesome Pine

I took a little bit of video

I didn't get enough video to fit the song I had in mind so I slowed some of it down.

The video's poor but the song's great.

Jesse Winchester's not a bad singer and a great songwriter.

Does anyone know if the wee loch in Knockman has a name ?

It snowed overnight and this morning Tuesday the 22nd of January I took a few more pictures at home.

It's to remain cold till the weekend. Maybe I'll get some ice sculptures after all.
