Winter in the Cairngorms



After a slow start this morning I set off to the Cairngorms with Greg my oldest who was going snowboarding while Lucy and I went to see the Sled dog racing at Glenmore at the foot of the mountain. Once there it really was a case of once you've seen one set of dogs pulling a sled you've seen them all so Lucy persuaded me to take her Sledging instead.

Despite two great photo opportunities there I was not inclined to taking the camera out given the weather and light so when we got back to the van Lucy wanted to play next to stream where we had parked. The light was overcast and the scene was quite mellow despite the stream having a fairly fast flow.

So after yesterday's departure into a surreal world of electronic surveillance I returned to that highland kingdom that gives me most pleasure; of streams and mountains.

That's a lovely shot, the blur on the water is just right and I like the fact that you still see the submerged rocks.

Looking forward to seeing some more.
