Spring!

Ben Nevis

I love this time of year - everyday there are more signs of Spring . Buds are appearing on the trees and the birds are singing their hearts out in the mornings. Tourists are also migrating north especially that hardy sub species the West Highland Way walker; he or she is seen limping along The Belford Road carrying a huge rucksack and tap tapping with walking poles. I'm always envious of them - completing the West Highland Way is huge achievement.
 I sketched this view of Ben Nevis yesterday. A man came up the river in a little motorized canoe with a dog wearing a life jacket sitting motionless in front of him.
