After an exhausting weekend on call with lots to do and not much sleep I had today off. I went for a run in the forest and stopped to paint the above sketch of the East face of Aonoch Mor. It was a beautiful day unbelievably warm and sunny, I swear the snow was melting on the tops as I painted. Later I saw my first primroses in flower and photographed a toad on the path.
I ascended some way on to Beinn Bahn then stopped to sit on a rock. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the sun on my face and listened to the birdsong. I was surrounded by gorgeous snow capped mountains and forests and was totally alone.It felt very good to be alive!
