The weather has been even more varied than normal . Tuesday was a beautiful Springlike day , warm and sunny with blue skies and fluffy white clouds . It was positively balmy. I had to go to Lochaline and the view looking out over the Sound of Mull was simply stunning. There were lots of red deer in the fields - no doubt driven down from the hills by the poor weather at the weekend.
.At this time of year the birch trees change colour . The leaf buds start to form giving the ends of the branches a richer reddish hue which contrasts beautifully with the grey and white of the trunks . I get to enjoy this effect on the way to work because the longer days mean that at least half my run is now in daylight . I'm looking forward to being able to run home without a headtorch too.
Yesterday saw a complete reversal in the weather - high winds and cold, lashing rain . I wonder which season we will get today ! The sketch above was painted over coffee in the Edinurgh Woollen Mill tea room whilst waiting for the car to have its brakes fixed in the garage.
